The answers to the question above would be letters a, b, c, and d. The terrestrial planets are those that are close to the sun, namely, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The others are known as the gas giants since they have a thick atmosphere and are considerably cold.

Answer:

<h2>a. Mars </h2><h2>b. Earth </h2><h2>c. Venus</h2>

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets are defined as planets which are formed by silicate. An important characteristic is that these planets have a solid surface. On the other hand, there are gaseous planets, which are bigger and more separated of the Sun.

In our Solar system, there are 4 terrestrial planets, which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Notice that they are the inner planets of the system.

So, in this case, the right chice is a. Mars, b. Earth and c. Venus. All three are terrestrial planets, that is, they have a rock solid surface.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

6–23 an automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 l/h and delivers 55 kw of power to the wheels. if the fuel has a heating

Anna007 [38]

Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P = 55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

Each ball has a negligible size and a mass of 11.5 kg and is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected. The rod i

Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

$L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s$

$L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt$

$L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s$

Moment if inertia is

$I = 2ml^2$

$I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2$

Angular speed

ω = L/I

$= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61$

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

$= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s$

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s$

The launching speed of the beetle is <u>6.4 m/s</u>.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

$v=u+at$

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

$v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms$

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is <u>1.62 ms</u>.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m$

The beetle can jump to a height of <u>2.1 m</u>
