Answer:

The families are thought to form as a result of collisions between asteroids. In many or most cases the parent body was shattered, but there are also several families which resulted from a large cratering event which did not disrupt the parent body (e.g. the Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, and Massalia families).

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

$x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2$

where

$a = 6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

$x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2$

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

$u_B = 20 m/s$

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get $x_B=0$ , which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

$x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s$

The mass of a ship before launch is 55,000 metric tons. The ship is launched down a ramp and drops a total of 10 vertical meters

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

ΔT = 17.11 °C

Explanation:

In this case, we have a ship standing on a place with a given mass and it's about to be launched to a lock containing water.

At first, before launch, the ship has a potential energy, and when the ship hits the water after being launched, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

So, let's calculate first the potential energy of the ship:

E = mgh (1)

We have the mass, gravity and height, so we need to replace the given data here. Before we do that, let's remember to use the correct units. A ton is 1000 kg, so replacing and converting we have:

E = (55000 ton * 1000 kg/ton) * (9.8 m/s²) * 10 m

E = 5.39x10⁹ J

Now this energy will be the same when the ship hits the water, only that is kinetic energy that will result in the rise of temperature. To get this rise we use the following expression:

E = m * C * ΔT (2)

We have the energy, the mass of water (assuming density of water as 1 kg/m³) and the specific heat, so, replacing in (2) and solving for ΔT we have:

ΔT = E / m * C (3)

ΔT = 5.39x10⁹ / 4200 * 75000

Hope this helps

Two equal resistors are connected in series with a 1.50V battery. In order to keep the current at 0.030 A, the resistors much ea

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 25 Ohms

Explanation:

From this question, the following parameters are given:

Voltage V = 1.5 v

Current I = 0.03A

From Ohm's law;

V = IR

Where R = resultant resistance of the two resistors.

Substitute V and I into the formula and make resultant R the subject of formula.

1.5 = 0.03 × R

R = 1.5/0.03

R = 50 Ohms

From the question, it is given that Thr two equal resistors are connected in series.

R = R1 + R2

But R1 = R2

50 = 2R1

R1 = 50/2

R1 = 25

R1 = R2 = 25 Ohms

Therefore, the resistors must each have a value of 25 Ohms
