Objects dropped straight or thrown horizontally from the same height
change their vertical velocity at the same rate, and fall through equal
vertical distances in equal time intervals.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

T<u>he direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is <u>16.7° north of east.</u>

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

Now, substituting the given information we have:

alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}

\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)

Hence, we have that <u>the direction of motion</u> of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur
kvasek [131]

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.

What requirement must a force acting on a object satisfy in order for the object to undergo simple harmonic motion?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Simple harmonic motion is the movement of a body or an object to and from an equilibrium position. In a simple harmonic motion, the maximum displacement (also called the amplitude) on one side of the equilibrium position is equal to the maximum displacement.

The force acting on an object must satisfy Hooke's law for the object to undergo simple harmonic motion. The law states that the force must be directed always towards the equilibrium position and also directly proportional to the distance from this position.

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>
