The statement “When
an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is
curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on
the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.
Answer:
B. 0.16 m
Explanation:
The vertical distance by which the player will miss the target is equal to the vertical distance covered by the dart during its motion.
Since the dart is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is zero:
While the horizontal velocity is
The horizontal distance covered is
Since the dart moves by uniform motion along the horizontal direction, the time it takes for covering this distance is
along the vertical direction, the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant downward acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, so the vertical distance covered is given by
Answer: D
Height of marble from ground
Explanation:
From the formula of kinetic energy and potential energy,
K.E = 1/2mv^2
While
P.E = mgh
From all the parameters given from the question. You can see that mass is constant, acceleration due to gravity is also constant.
Independent variable must be a value that can varies.
Since Jack rolled a marble down a ramp and recorded the potential energy and kinetic energy of the marble at different positions on the ramp to see the effects on both energies.
This different position must be the height which will produce an effect on the potential and kinetic energy of the marble.
Independent variable always provides an effect for dependent variable. Which are kinetic energy and potential energy in this case.
Height of marble from ground is the right answer.
In the frame of reference of anybody in the car.
