Answer: I hope this helps I read this in a book once

Explanation:

Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r = r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

What is the density of an object with a mass of 60g and a volume of 2cm3?

zaharov [31]

m= 60g = 60/1000 Kg = 0.06 Kg v = 2cm3 = 2 * (0.01^3) m3 = 2 *10^-6 m3 Density= m/v = 6 * 10^-2 / 2 *10^-6 = 3 *10^4 Kg/m3

Which is not expecting acceleration?

Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of 55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal ( $F cos \theta$ )and vertical component ( $F sin\theta$ ).

Horizontal component: $F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N$

Vertical component: $F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N$

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed (5.2 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging 4.5 m vertically from a tall tree in the ju

kumpel [21]

While Jane is running has a kinetic energy, which is Ek = 1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is velocity  When she grabs a vine, she is going to change the kinetic energy to potential energy.
We know that potential energy is given by Ep = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravity constant and h is height
So while running the kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 * m * 5.2^2 = 13.52*m
Then all that energy is used to swing upward and gain potential energy
Ep = m*g*h = Ek = 13.52*m
m*9.8*h = 13.52*m
h = 13.52/9.8 = 1.38 meters
So Jane will swing 1.38 meters upward
