Physics
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Ms. Stafford wants to try racing with a push start. A student pushes her at 5 m/s before the rocket kicks in. The rocket still o
Gnom [1K]
The initial velocity of Ms. Stafford is v_0 = 5 m/s, while her acceleration is 
a=4 m/s^2
This is a uniform accelerated motion, so we can calculate the total distance travelled by Ms. Stafford in a time of t=7.0 s using the law of motion for a uniform accelerated motion:
S=v_0t +  \frac{1}{2} at^2 = (5 m/s)(7.0 s)+ \frac{1}{2}(2 m/s^2)(7.0 s)^2 = 84 m

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A
viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram toy car at a rate of 2 meters per second per second?
kozerog [31]
F = ma,    where m = mass in kg, a = acceleration in m/s², F = Force in Newton

F = 1 * 2

F = 2 N

Force needed is 2 Newtons.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The jet will fly 2400 km.

Explanation:

Given the velocity of the jet flying toward the east is 1,500 kmph toward the east.

We need to find the distance covered in 1.6 hours.

In our problem we are given speed and time, we can easily determine the distance using the following formula.

Distance=Speed\times Time

Distance=1500\times 1.6=2400\ km

So, the supersonic jet will travel 2400 km in 1.6 hours toward the east from its starting point.
