Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The Earth is about 4x bigger than the moon. Scientists speculate that the moon was once part of Earth, until something hit the Earth, and broke off a large chunk of it. These pieces were flung off the Earth, and began to orbit it. Slowly, the pieces were mashed together by gravity, and formed the moon.

During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of

olasank [31]

Answer:

3.416 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of cannonball $m_A$ = 72.0 kg

mass of performer $m_B$ = 65.0 kg

The horizontal component of the ball initially $\mu_{xA}$ = 6.50 m/s

the final velocity of the combined system v = ????

By applying the linear momentum of conservation:

$m_A \mu_{xA}+m_B \mu_{xB} = (m_A+m_B) v$

$72.0 \ kg \times 6.50 \ m/s+65.0 \ kg \times 0 = (72.0 \ kg+65.0 \ kg) v$

$468 kg m/s + 0 = (137 kg)v$

$v = \dfrac{468\ kg m/s }{137 \ kg}$

v = 3.416 m/s

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed

Dahasolnce [82]

<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>

Ejercicio 1: Un cuerpo gira en un círculo de 8cm de diámetro con una rapidez constante

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Exercise 1;

The centripetal acceleration is approximately 94.52 m/s²

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = 8 cm = 0.08 m

The radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

The speed of motion = 7 km/h = 1.944444 m/s

The centripetal acceleration = v²/r = 1.944444²/0.04 ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using

timurjin [86]

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

$\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m$

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.
