An astronaut throws a rock. the rock travels through outer space at a constant velocity. which statement applies to the motion o

f this rock?
A- an unbalanced force is acting on the rock, causing it to accelerate.
B-the rock will undergo constant acceleration until a force acts on it.
C- The rock will continue on its current path until an unbalanced force acts on it.
D- The force that makes the rock move through space is equal to its mass divided by its velocity

This is an example of Newton's first law of motion:


An object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. Similarly, a moving object will remain moving in a straight line at constant velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.


The answer is C.

A block of mass 10 kg moves from position A to position B shown in the figure above. The speed of the block is 10 m/s at A and 4
Otrada [13]
We have that the block is moving horizontally. Hence, its potential energy due to gravity stays the same. The only change in its mechanical energy is the one due to the change of speed. This reduction of its kinetic energy, due to the conservation of energy, is equal to the work that friction does. We have that at A the kinetic energy is : K=1/2*m*u^2=10*10*10/2=500J. At B, we have that K=1/2*10*16=80J. Sine we have that the initial value is 500, the work from the friction force (opposite to the movement of the object) is 80-500=420J.

Define output work and input work​
Olenka [21]

Answer: Input work is the work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance.Other ways it would be the work done on a body or system, that is, forces that are applied to the body or system. This is in contrast to output work which is a force that is applied by the body or system to something else.Output work is the work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance. The machine does to the object to increase the output distance.

Scientists want to place a 3400.0 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2480.0
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Part a)

r = 6.96 \times 10^6 m

Part b)

F_g = 3.004 \times 10^3 N

Part c)

a = 0.88 m/s^2

Part d)

v = \frac{2480}{2} = 1240 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the orbital speed of the satellite is given as

v = 2480 m/s

now we will have

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{mars}}{r}}

now we have

M_{mars} = 6.4191 \times 10^{23} kg

R_{mars} = 3.397 \times 10^6 m

now we have

2480 = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(6.4191 \times 10^{23})}{r}}

r = 6.96 \times 10^6 m

Part b)

Here force between mars and satellite is the gravitational attraction force which is given as

F_g = \frac{GM_{mars} m}{r^2}

F_g = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(6.4191 \times 10^{23})(3400)}{(6.96\times 10^6)^2}

F_g = 3.004 \times 10^3 N

Part c)

Acceleration of satellite is the ratio of gravitational force and mass of the satellite

a = \frac{F_g}{m}

a = \frac{3004}{3400}

a = 0.88 m/s^2

Part d)

As we know by III law of kepler

\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}

here we know that T2 = 8 T1

(\frac{1}{8})^2= \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}

\frac{r_1}{r_2} = (\frac{1}{2})^2

so we have

r_2 = 4r_1

as we know that speed is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

so we can say since radius is orbit becomes 4 times so the orbital speed must be half

v = \frac{2480}{2} = 1240 m/s

Which of the following relationships is correct?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

a. Relative humidity increases: a decrease in temperature without a change in the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Colder air requires less humidity to saturate compared to warmer air. Therefore, the relative humidity depends on the air temperature. If the temperature drops and the water vapor content remains the same, relative humidity increases. If the temperature increases and the water vapor content remains the same, relative humidity decreases. Additionally, a greater amount of water vapor in the air increases the relative humudity.
