why does the velocity in the horizontal direction remain constant while the velocity in the vertical direction changes?

1 answer:

8 0

The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value), There is a verticalacceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.

A mass of 8 kg moves at a rate of 14.3 m/sec. what is the KE developed by the mass?

Lynna [10]

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. It's a scalar quantity, there is no direction associated with KE and it has no components. $KE = \frac{mv ^{2} }{2} = \frac{8 *14.3 ^{2} }{2} = 4 *204.49 = 817.96J$ . Therefore Kinetic energy is 817.96J.

Three cars with identical engines and tires start from rest, and accelerate at their maximum rate. Car X is the most massive, an

aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to Y and Z

and $Force=mass\times acceleration$

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest
