Straight linear path

Explanation:

If the universe were completely empty with just one object which is solid moving sphere  through the space at a speed of 100km/s, it will move along on a straight path.

An object will continue on a straight path or at rest unless acted upon by an external force. This is the first law of newton.

  • Since there is no other mass or body in the universe, it will move along in a straight line.
  • Our planet and other bodies moves in parabolic path and elliptical orbits because they are attracted by the gravitational forces of other bodies.
  • Any body with mass will attract other bodies and makes it move round it.
  • The body with the less mass will orbit in the vicinity of the larger mass.
  • But if we have just one body out there, there is no attraction from any other body, it will continue along it's straight path.

A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.5 m/s.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Height as seen by the professor = 38.2 m

Explanation:

Angle of throw = θ = 69°

Velocity of throw = v

X component of velocity = v₁ = v cos 69 = 0.3584 v m/s

Vertical component of the velocity = v₂ =  v sin 69 = 0.9336 v m/s

v₂ / v₁ = tan 69 = 2.605

v₂ = 2.605 v₁.

Professor sees as if the x component of velocity =0

v (as seen by professor) + v'  = 0

=> v  as seen by professor = -v' = -10.5 m/s

This shows that y component of the ball's velocity is 2.605 times its x component of velocity.

with respect to the professor, there is only y component of velocity.

v₂' =v₂ = 2.605 ( -10.5) = 27.4 m/s.

Height as seen by the professor = (27.4)² / 2(9.8) = 38.2 m

"You can't see the forest for the trees" might seem an appropriate analogy for astronomers attempting to determine the shape of
denpristay [2]

Some of the techniques used by astronomers to determine the type of galaxy in which we live are:

  • radio,
  • optical,
  • infrared
  • x-ray astronomy

<h3>What is Astronomy?</h3>

This refers to the study of heavenly bodies and space and other things that space is made up of.

Hence, we can see that the reason why it is so difficult to determine the shape of our galaxy is that astronomers can only infer its presence from the motions of stars in the galaxy, and a precise shape is difficult to be determined.

What is the terminal velocity of a 6.00-kg mass object in falling with a drag force with a magnitude that depends on speed, v, a
3241004551 [841]

When object reached the terminal speed then its acceleration is zero

So as per Newton's II law we can say

F_{net} = 0

now in that case we can say that net force is zero so here weight of the object is counter balanced by the drag force when it will reach at terminal speed

so we can write

mg - F_d = 0

so here we are given that

F_d = 30

6*9.8 - 30*v = 0

58.8 - 30 *v = 0

v = \frac{58.8}{30}

v = 1.96 m/s

so terminal speed will be nearly 2 m/s
