Answer:

Tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface = 241 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is given by the ratio of distance traveled to the time.

Radius of mars, r = 3397 km = 3.397 x 10⁶ m

Distance traveled = 2πr = 2 x π x 3.397 x 10⁶ = 2.13 x 10⁷ m

Time taken = 24.6 hours = 24.6 x 60 x 60 = 88560 s

\texttt{Tangential speed =}\frac{2.13\times 10^7}{88560}=240.51m/s

Tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface = 240.51 m/s = 241 m/s

A mass M is hanging from a rope of length L and mass m. A student gives the mass a quick horizontal shake to set up a wave which
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for velocity of wave produced in a hanging wire can be given  as follows

Velocity v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }

where T is tension in wire and m is mass of wire per unit length.

In the given case

T = Mg + mg

= Mg

neglecting weight of rope

mass of the rope per unit length

= m / L

Velocity of wave

= \sqrt{\frac{Mg}{\frac{m}{L} } }

= \sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} }

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre
vredina [299]

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}

v_1=v_{01}+a_1t

We must consider that it's launched from the ground (y_{01}=0m) and from rest (v_{01}=0m/s), with an upwards acceleration a_{1}=28m/s^2 that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 (y_{02}=1317.26m) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 (v_{02}=271.6m/s), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2. For the data we have it's faster to use the formula v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad, where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:

v_{02}^2+2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=v_2^2=0m/s

Then, to get y_2, we do:

2a_2(y_2-y_{02})=-v_{02}^2

y_2-y_{02}=-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}

And we substitute the values:

y_2=y_{02}-\frac{v_{02}^2}{2a_2}=(1317.26m)-\frac{(271.6m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=5080.86m

What happens to the rock structure during each of type of change?
EastWind [94]
Previous rocks melt and collide and to form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks disintegrate due to weather disruptions and get carried away by water, where they form sedimentary rock strata by lithification.
Igneous and sedimentary change by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks melt and become igneous rocks.
