Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel

drives past Carla at 40 mph and, just as he passes her, both release their balls at the same instant. Whose ball hits the ground first? Explain.

Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation

Answer:

Carla

Explanation:

Thinking process:

First, we neglect the air resistance.

Carla is not moving. It means that the present energy of the ball is potential energy relative to its height from the ground. There is only a single velocity component on Carla's ball - the vertical component. Therefore, Carla's ball hits the ground first.

Daniel's case is different. The ball travels with two components of velocity - the horizontal velocity and the vertical component. Therefore, the ball's total velocity is a resolution of the two velocities.

Thus, the horizontal component of Daniel's ball follows a projector path and does not fall horizontally. It will touch the ground at some distance after being dropped to the ground.

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source. It is expensive to build a solar plant, but there is no fuel cost only mainten
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Energy production requires the setting up of a complete interconnected chain from generation of energy from the root source of the energy to the storage of the generated energy and the eventual utilization of the energy when required

Solar energy, indirectly, continues to be the main source of energy, however, the direct use of solar energy to power the systems we use in our everyday life, require the development of technologies, such as high efficiency solar cells, means of energy storage, and compatible efficient energy usage which are industrial areas that are seeing good progress but in which the current developed equipment are expensive to produce, and  due to their efficiency, are undergoing further research and development

Therefore, due to the continuous increasing improvement in solar technology which can observed, the use of the produced energy through solar is evolving, and therefore, will continue to play a continuously increasing but lower role compared to other sources of energy which have been developed to satisfactory level that can drive an industry, considering the financial investment involved

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."

a 30 kg child is sitting 2 meters from the center of a merry go round. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between t
laiz [17]

Answer: A

Explanation:

From the question, the given parameters are given.

Mass M = 30kg

Radius r = 2 m

Coefficient of static friction μ = 0.8

Coefficient of kinetic friction μ = 0.6

Kinetic friction Fk = μ × mg

Fk = 0.6 × 30 × 9.8

Fk = 176.4 N

The force acting on the merry go round is a centripetal force F.

F = MV^2/r

This force must be greater than or equal to the kinetic friction Fk. That is,

F = Fk

F = 176.4

Substitute F , M and r into the centripetal force formula above

176.4 = (30×V^2)/2

Cross multiply

352.8 = 30V^2

V^2 = 352.8/30

V = sqrt (11.76) m/s

V = 5.24 m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the merry go round before the child begins to slip is sqrt (12) m/s approximately
