<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Skeletal age

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Epiphyses are the rounded portions at the ends of a bone separated from the metaphysis by the physis. The epiphysis contributes to a joint, compared with an apophysis which is a site of tendon or ligament attachment.
A bone age study helps doctors estimate the maturity of a child's skeletal system. It's usually done by taking a single X-ray of the left wrist, hand, and fingers.

. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up

Liula [17]

Answer:

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

A ball is launched vertically with an initial speed of y˙0= 50 m/s, and its acceleration is governed by y¨=-g-cDy˙2, where the a

stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

$a=-g-c_Dv^2$

where $\ddot{y}=a$

$\dot{y}=v$

Also acceleration is given by

$a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}$

$ds=\frac{v}{a}dv$

$\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv$

$\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t$

$-0.001\times 2vdv=dt$

$vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}$

$at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2$

$t=-g-2.5$

at $v=0,\ t=-g$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})$

$s=113.608\ m$

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

$h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}$

$h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=127.55\ m$

Summarize Newton's three laws of motion

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
