When does skydiver reach terminal velocity?

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

Se apunta un rifle horizontalmente con mira a un blanco pequeño que está a 200m en el suelo. La velocidad inicial de la bala es

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Lo importante a tener en cuenta sobre esta pregunta es que la velocidad horizontal de la bala no hace ninguna diferencia en cuanto al tiempo que tarda en caer al suelo.

Debido a que el arma no ha aplicado ninguna fuerza vertical a la bala, la única fuerza que afecta la bala es la gravedad. Esto significa que la bala tarda tanto en caer al suelo como lo haría si se cayera, a pesar de que ahora viaja una gran distancia horizontal en la duración.

Para encontrar el tiempo de viaje antes de tocar el suelo, tenemos 3 valores:

-El desplazamiento desde el suelo que la bala debe viajar, s = 1.5m

-La aceleración que experimenta la bala. Como la gravedad está acelerando la bala hacia abajo, a = g = ~ 9.81m / s ^ 2

-La velocidad inicial de la bala verticalmente. Como la bala es estacionaria verticalmente (solo viaja horizontalmente al inicio), u = 0m

Examinamos nuestras ecuaciones de movimiento, comúnmente conocidas como ecuaciones SUVAT. Es posible que necesite aprender estos para su examen, pero algunas tablas de examen los proporcionan.

Debido a que tenemos s, u y a, y estamos buscando el tiempo t, la ecuación relevante es

s = ut + 0.5 (en ^ 2)

Completando nuestros valores tenemos:

1.5 = 0t + 0.5 (9.81 x t ^ 2)

1.5 = 4.905 x t ^ 2

Divide 1.5 entre 4.905 para encontrar t ^ 2

t ^ 2 = 0.3058 ...

Simplemente encontramos la raíz cuadrada de t ^ 2 para encontrar t, el tiempo que tarda la bala en llegar al suelo:

t = 0.553s (3 cifras significativas)

Para encontrar la distancia horizontal, d, que la bala ha viajado antes de tocar el suelo, podemos usar la ecuación que vincula el desplazamiento s con cierta velocidad v durante un tiempo t:

s = vt

La velocidad horizontal de la bala, v = 430

El tiempo antes de que la bala toque el suelo, t = 0.553

Entonces d = vt = 430 * 0.553 = 238m (3 cifras significativas)

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to

ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.

A main difference between asteroids and comets is that asteroids are mostly made of rock and comets are mostly made of metals ca

avanturin [10]

We can confirm that the difference between a comet and an asteroid lies in their compositions and physical characteristics derived from those compositions.

As stated in the question, the main difference between an asteroid and a comet is their compositions, meaning the materials from which they form.

Asteroids are rocky objects which a heavy metal composition, while comets tend to be made of dust, ice, and some rocky material. Some extra differences include:

Comets reflect a steady amount of light (because of their ice composition)
Asteroids will reflect light at random intervals due to some metals that may be present on their surface
Comets tend to have a tail made of water from the melting ice when reflecting sunlight.

Therefore, we can confirm that the main difference between asteroids and comets is their compositions, which lead to distinct physical characteristics.
