Explorers on a small airless planet used a spring gun to launch a ball bearing vertically upward from the surface at a launch ve

locity of 12 ​m/sec. Because the acceleration of gravity at the​ planet's surface was gs ​m/sec2​, the explorers expected the ball bearing to reach a height of s=12−​(1/2)gst2 ​m, t sec later. The ball bearing reached its maximum height 20 sec after being launched. What was the value of gs​?

Answer:

gs = 0.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data:

velocity = 12 m/s

height s = 12t -(1/2) g_s t^2

Given velocity is the derivatives of  height

v(t) = \frac{d}{dt} s(t)

      = \frac{d}{dt}(12t -\frac{1}{2} g_s t^2)

      = 12 - g_s t

when velocity tend to 0 , maximum height is reached

v(t) = 12 - g_s t

0 = 12 - g_s t

g_s = \frac{12}{t}

at t = 20 sec ball reached the max height, so

g_s = \frac{12}{20} = 0.6 m/s^2

If a typical smelt weighs 225 g, what is the total mass of pcbs in a smelt in the great lakes? If a typical smelt weighs 225 g,
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer;

= 2.34 x 10^-4 g pcbs

Explanation;

-A typical smelt has 1.04 ppm of PCB is great lakes.

Therefore;

The amount of PCB in a smelt in great leak can be calculated by multiplying the mass of smelt by the pcbs present in a smelt

= 225 g * ( 1.04/100000)

= 2.34 x10^-4 g pcbs

A 15-kilogram cart is at rest on a horizontal
Sergio [31]
The most likely answer to this problem would be (1) more mass and more inertia.

A 15-kilogram cart at rest and a 5-kilogram box would make up a 20-kilogram cart and box that is at rest on a horizontal surface. The mass changed into something more, of course, as a result of combining the two object into one and by combining the two objects' mass, the inertia that it previously possessed as a cart by itself was increased when the inertia of the box was also combined to the cart.

What is an example of a mechanical noise?
faltersainse [42]
Resonance:
The resounding recurrence is the recurrence at which a bit of metal, plastic or whatever else swings/vibrates with minimal measure of vitality input. Think about a man on a play area swing. You realize that it requires next to no push to keep the individual swinging. The recurrence at which they swing forward and backward is their full recurrence. In the event that you endeavor to influence them to swing speedier or slower, it will take altogether more vitality.

Resonating Panels:
This kind of clamor is caused when the bass notes are an indistinguishable recurrence from the thunderous recurrence of a metal or plastic board. To stop or decrease the commotion related with this kind of issue, you can do two or three things.

Rattling:
This sort of commotion would be caused when 2 bits of metal, plastic, whatever... are sufficiently close to hammer into each other when they resound. This is most likely best illuminated by filling the hole between the two vibrating parts with silicone sealant or shut cell froth climate stripping. The climate stripping is a superior arrangement in places like behind the tag. On the off chance that you have a tag outline, you can get some truly thin climate stripping and put between the casing and the plate.
