Why does the moon lack an atmosphere?  

Physics

vesna_86 [32]3 years ago

Because when it had any, the warmth of the sun heated the atmosphere to the point where the average speed of the gas molecules exceeded the escape velocity for a body with the moon's mass and size. So, little by little, they escaped.

a rocket is launched with a constant acceleration straight up. exactly 4.00 seconds after lift off, a bolt falls off the side of
Papessa [141]

The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.  

Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.  

During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of  

h = (1/2)*a*t^2  

with t=4,  

h = (1/2)*a^16  

h = 8*a  

Its velocity at 4 sec is  

v = t*a  

v = 4*a  

The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.  

During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,  

h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t  

Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,  

8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6  

Solving for a  

a = 5.52 m/s^2

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

Creates an image that appears upside down behind the focal point
zheka24 [161]
An image that appears upside down behind the focal point is an image that is reflected on a concave mirror. Mirrors reflect different kinds of images based on the placement of an object that is reflected towards it. There are two kinds of mirrors, concave and a convex mirrors, the latter makes objects seem smaller and farther than where it is exactly.

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th
Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s
