Answer:

a= -0.83m\s^2

Explanation:

a = v \ t

a = -25 \ 30 = -0.833 m\s^2

the object is slowing down 0.83 meter every second

In an intergalactic competition, spaceship pilots compete to see who can cover the distance between two asteroids in the short-

pogonyaev

Answer:

a) truc is C, b) correct result is the B

Explanation:

As the speed of the competition is very high, for the judges the speed is

v = d / t

v = 3 109 m / 20

v = 1.5 108 m / s

This is half the speed of light. For these high speeds we must use the relations of special relativity.

For the time t = to γ

For distance L = Lo / γ

γ = √ (1-v2 / c2)

Own time and distance (to and Lo) corresponds to the observer who is not moving the judges in this case

Let's look for the range value

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (1.5 / 3) 2) = 1 / 0.866 = 1.15

The time t = 20 1.15 = 23 s

The distance L = 3 10 9 /1.15 = 2.60 109 m

From these results we see that time increases and the distance is shorter.

Let's review the claims

A) False. It's the opposite

B) False

C) True. It is according to the result found

D) False.

In the nuclear fusion process, we will also use the special relativity that has a relationship between energy and mass

ΔE = c² Δm

As in the process energy is released, for the law of conservation of the mass of energy to be fulfilled, the total mass of the products, He atom, must be reduced.

Therefore the correct result is the B

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

What is a materials ability to be dissolved in a solvent

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: Solubility

Solubility is the ability to be dissolved. Saturation is when the concentration is too high(more than solubility) that when you add another material it won't dissolve. Solute is the material that dissolved. Solvent is the material that used for dissolving

A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

$v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}$
