Answer:

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AC^2=(18.3)^3+(11.5)^2

AC=\sqrt{(18.3)^2+(11.5)^2}

AC=21.61\ km/s

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.

Which of these IS an example of balanced forces? A. a book on a shelf B. air rushing out of a balloon C. rolling over and fallin
babunello [35]

Forces are balanced when net force on the object is zero or the sum of all force on the object is zero.

For book kept on a shelf, the weight of the book in down direction is balanced by the normal force on the book by the shelf. hence the book kept on a shelf is an example of balanced force.

In case of air rushing out of balloon , the balloon experience a net force by the air coming out of it.

rolling over and falling off the bed , the object falls under gravity force.

a car speeding up accelerates. since it accelerates , it has net force on it.
