The correct answer would be A "<span>A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.

This is considered a unit of distance connected to the distance that light can travel in one year. It is proved that light travels at 300,000 km per second so, in 1 year, it might travel 10 trillion km.

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra
bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration,  C_d is the drag coefficient, \rho is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is 1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}.

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}

Name 2 things centripetal force acts on.
ira [324]

The centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed.  The centripetal force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion , the speed of object will remain constant.

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
