Mercury was named after the roman god of speed why is it an appropriate name for the planet

1 answer:

5 0

Because it's the planet in our solar system with the shortest,
fastest orbit around the sun ... only 88 Earth days.

The people who named it didn't know that ... they still thought that
the sun and all the planets revolve around the Earth. But they did
see it zip from one side of the sun to the other, faster than any other
planet ... the result of having the shortest, fastest orbit of any planet.

A 500-g lump of clay is dropped onto a 1-kg cart moving at 60 cm/s. The clay is moving downward at 30 cm/s just before l dith t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The speed of the cart and clay after the collision is 50 cm/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of lump , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg .

Velocity of lump , v = 30 cm/s .

Mass of cart , M = 1 kg .

Velocity of cart , V = 60 cm/s .

We know by conservation of momentum :

$mv+MV=(m+M)v'$

Here , $v'$ is the speed of the cart and clay after the collision .

Putting all value in above equation .

We get :

$0.5\times 30+1\times 60=(0.5+1)\times v'\\\\v'=\dfrac{15+60}{1.5}\\\\v'=50\ cm/s$

Hence , this is the required solution .

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?

maks197457 [2]

answer

so unit of velocity is m/s

displacement=600m

5minutes should be converted to seconds

5×60=300 seconds

so,

velocity= displacement÷time

= 600m ÷300s

=2m/s or 2ms^-1

All objects, regardless of their mass, fall with the same rate of acceleration on

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A -TRUE

Explanation:

The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration.
