Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

Digiron [165]

The map be changed <u>by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A motion map represents the position, velocity, or acceleration of an object at various time readings

a small point or dot describes the position of the object. the object's velocity / acceleration is represented by an arrow / vector.

In this motion map, The arrows (vectors) are all the same length (same speed) and point in the same direction (direction to the right) for t = 0 (origin) to t = 4s

At t = 5s, the object has slowed down, and at t = 7s and 8s the object stops

At t = 9s-11 s, the object accelerates to the left

So the position of the next moving object will be above the previous movement, and the length of the same vector shows the same speed / acceleration

So that motion maps show constant acceleration after the object changes direction, it can be done by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a period of vibration of 2 seconds?
34kurt

Answer:

The answer is 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Its pretty easy to get the answer. One hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle or period per second. So, just divide the period by the number of seconds.

1 period/2 secs = 1/2 Hz or 0.5 Hz

A 0.560 kg snowball is fired from a cliff 14.2 m high with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s, directed 26.0° above the horizontal.
enot [183]

Answer:

a) v = 21.34 m/s

b) v = 21.34 m/s

c) v = 21.34 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the snowball, m = 0.560 kg

Height of the cliff, h = 14.2 m

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 13.3 m/s

θ = 26°

The speed of the slow ball as it reaches the ground, v = ?

The initial Kinetic energy of the snow ball, KE_{0}  = 0.5 mu^{2}

Potential energy of the snow ball at the given height, PE = mgh

Final Kinetic energy of the ball as it reaches the ground, KE_{f} = 0.5mv^{2}

a) Using the principle of energy conservation,

KE_{0} + PE = KE_{f} \\0.5mu^{2} + mgh = 0.5mv^{2}\\v^{2} =2( 0.5u^{2} + gh)\\v^{2} =u^{2} + 2gh\\v = \sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh} \\v = \sqrt{13.3^{2} + 2*9.8*14.2}\\v = 21.34 m/s

b) The speed remains v = 21.34 m/s since it is not a function of the angle of launch

c)The principle of energy conservation used cancels out the mass of the object, therefore the speed is not dependent on mass

v = 21. 34 m/s
