In outer space, a piece of rock continues moving at the same velocity for

1 answer:

7 0

The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>

The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.

From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

An astronaut is in space with a baseball and a bowling ball. The astronaut pushes both objects in the same direction. If both ba

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

Explanation:

This problem is an application of momentum and momentum. When the astronaut pushed balls, he needed more force to move the ball of greater mass (bowling). The expression for soul is

p = m v

Besibol Blade

p1 = m1 v

Bowling ball

p2 = m2 v

As a mass greater than that of baseball, at the moment of the bowling wave the moment of the baseball ball is also greater

p2 >> p1

Carol drops a stone in a mine shaft 122.5 metres deep.How

Verizon [17]

Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s
