Ocean bulges on Earth would be bigger if the Moon had twice as much mass and yet orbited the planet at the same distance. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is ocean bludge?</h3>

The fluid and moveable ocean water are drawn towards the moon by the gravitational attraction between the moon and the Earth.

The ocean nearest to the moon experiences a bulge as a result, and as the Earth rotates, the affected seas' locations shift.

The Moon's bulges in the oceans would be larger if it had twice the mass and orbited Earth at the same distance.

Hence option B is corect.

An athlete is working out in the weight room. He steadily holds 50 kilograms above his head for 10 seconds. Which statement is t

postnew [5]

Answer:

A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.

So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

Crank

Answer:

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }$

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

$v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}$

And in the case of vertical $v_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

where $y_{tot}$ is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height $H$ with initial velocity $v_0$ is given by:

$y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when $y'(t)=0$ , and it is

$t=\frac{v_0}{g}$

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

$y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2$

$y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}$

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

$y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

$y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}$

$y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

$\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}$

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

$t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},$

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another $t_0$ to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,
