Explain how horizontal motion can be uniform while vertical motion is accelerated.

Physics

In projectile motion horizontal motion has zero acceleration and when there is no air resistance acting on the object the motion will be uniform. Motion in the vertical direction is accelerated downwards to to the acceleration due to gravity

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

<u>Option b. </u>A smaller magnitude of momentum and more kinetic energy.

<h3>What is a momentum?</h3>
  • In Newtonian physics, an object's linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
  • It has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. The object's momentum, p, is defined as: p=mv if m is the object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity).
  • The kilogram metre per second (kg m/s), or newton-second in the International System of Units (SI), is the unit used to measure momentum.
  • The rate of change of a body's momentum is equal to the net force exerted on it, according to Newton's second law of motion.

You push a 1.30 kg physics book 2.80 m along a horizontal tabletop with a horizontal push of 1.55 N while the opposing force of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.36J</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 1.3kg

distance moved s= 2.8m

opposing frictional force= 0.34N

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

we know that work done= force *distance moved

1. work done to push the book= 1.55*2.8=4.34J

2. Work against friction = force of friction x distance

                                       = 0.34*2.8=0.952J

Step two:

the work done on the book is the net work, which is

Network done= work done to push the book- Work against friction

Network done= 4.32-0.952=3.36J

<u>Therefore the work of the 1.55N 3.36J</u>

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?
pashok25 [27]
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous
