Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:30 m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum Horizontal distance is 5 m on earth

launching angle $=45^{\circ}$

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is $9.8 m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on moon is $\frac{9.8}{6}=1.63 m/s^2$

Range of projectile is given by

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

$R_{earth}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}=5$ ----1

$R_{moon}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{\frac{g}{6}}$ -----2

Divide 1 & 2

$\frac{5}{R_{moon}}=\frac{1}{6}$

$R_{moon}=30 m$

Ryan is driving his car to band practice. His speed is 55 mph. Splat! A bug smashes against the windshield, and bug "guts" are e

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In magnitude, the force they apply each other is the same. Therefore, the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.

Which best describes the surface of a concave mirror? It is flat. It is textured. It curves outward. It curves inward.

Sonja [21]

The concave mirror is a spherical-shaped mirror that has an inner curved surface. Hence, option (4) is correct.

What is a concave mirror?

The concave mirrors are spherical-shaped mirrors that are painted on the outward surface. It is also known as the converging mirror, having the recessed inner reflecting surface.

The concave mirrors are generally used for the purpose to focus the light. For that, they might have a reflecting surface, curved inwards, and the reflection of light is limited to the single focal point.
The reflecting surface of the concave mirror has its vertex or midpoint lying farther away from the objects than the edges.

Thus, we can conclude that the surface of the concave mirror is curved inward. Hence, option (4) is correct.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is energy that is built up and saved. When you are moving and letting out that energy, that is kinetic energy. You would be using the least kinetic energy when you aren't moving, which is at the top of the hill because you move faster the more you go down.
