Lelechka [254]3 years ago

6 0

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 250 mph

v = 0 mph

t = 25 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)

a = -10 mph/s

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john $m_1=95.6 kg$

Mass of barbara $m_2=55.3 kg$

John is standing at $x=10.9 m$

Barbara is standing at $x=2.50 m$

$x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}$

$x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}$

$x_{com}=7.821 m$

Now if they change their Position then

$x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}$

$x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}$

$x'_{com}=5.578$

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of $2.243 m$ because heavier is shifted towards left

Your bike gets a flat tire. Its mass is 10 kg and you are able to accelerate your bike .5 m/s/s. What is the force on the bike..

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

50N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the bike = 10kg

Acceleration = 5m/s²

Unknown:

Force on the bike = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Newton's second law of motion.

Force = mass x acceleration

Force = 10 x 5 = 50N

How is frame motion used to measure motion

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

To describe motion accurately and completely, a frame of reference is necessary. frame of reference ( or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix ( locate and orient ) the coordinate system and standardize measurements within that frame.

Explanation:

The different observations occur because the two observers are in different frames of reference. A frame of reference is a set of coordinates that can be used to determine positions and velocities of objects in that frame; different frames of reference move relative to one another.

For main sequence stars what tends to happen to the absolute brightness of a star as the temperature rises? How do you know?

professor190 [17]

With the increase in the temperature of the star, the brightness of the stars will also increase.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The brightness and surface temperature of stars ordinarily increment with age. A star stays close to its underlying situation on the fundamental arrangement until a lot of hydrogen in the center has been devoured, at that point starts to advance into a progressively brilliant star.

The brightness of a star relies upon its structure and how far it is from the planet. Space experts characterize star brilliance as far as clear extent — how splendid the star shows up from Earth — and outright greatness — how brilliant the star shows up at a standard separation

A 0.25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. What is the final veloc

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:20/47 meter per second

Explanation:

Mass of arrow(ma)=0.25kg

Velocity of arrow(va)=12m/s

Mass of target(mt)=6.8kg

Velocity of target(vt)=0 since target is at rest

Conservation of linear momentum says that :

maxva+mtxvt=(ma+mt)V

V=(maxva+mtxvt)/(ma+mt)

V=(0.25x12+6.8x0)/(0.25+6.8)

V=3/(7.05)

V=20/47 meter per second
