Answer:

Many speculation exists for why the term 'scrubbed' is used in relation to launches. <em>One of these is that during world war II, when the Air force planned bombing raids</em>. These Air force missions had their briefings done with illustration of the details of the launch and and flight drawn on chalkboards. <em>When some of mission flight takeoffs were canceled (due to bad weather or a malfunction or other reasons) the details were then scrubbed off of the chalkboard</em>. This idea of the mission <em>being scrubbed meaning that it is no longer to be followed through with</em>, proceeded to this modern day rocket and aviation launches.

What is playing catch? ( in terms of the force of the air interacting with ball )

Ugo [173]

Playing catch involves the ball moving in one direction in the air when you exert force. When the ball is in air, there is a gravitational force and a little it of backward air resistance until the other person catches it.

Why do you like the full moon ?

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h3>The Moon brings perspective. Observing the Moon, and I mean really looking – sitting comfortably, or lying down on a patch of grass and letting her light fill your eyes, it's easy to be reminded of how ancient and everlasting the celestial bodies are. When I do this, it always puts my life into perspective.</h3>

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is

aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

$a = -\omega^2 A$
