Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

Use round wheels to roll the heap, help the weight by evacuating appended or contained protests, or place a smoother surface betwen the question and the floor. Water or different liquids can be utilized to diminish the protection, yet just on the off chance that they stay between the question and the floor.

Lukalu is rappelling off a cliff. The parametric equations that describe her horizontal and vertical position as a function of t

andre [41]

Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

$x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100$

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

$0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s$

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

$x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m$

When does sea breeze occur

Vladimir79 [104]

<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day. At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

A spider begins to spin a web by first hanging from a ceiling by his fine, silk fiber. He has a mass of 0.025 kg and a charge of

Rasek [7]

Answer:

a) (5.59 × 10³) N/C

b) 0.226 N directed away from the spider.

Explanation:

a) Electric field, E, felt as a result of point charge, Q, at a distance, d away is given by

E = kQ/d²

So, magnitude of the electric field due to the charge on the second spider at the position of the first spider

Q = 4.2 µC = 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ C

k = Coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C

d = 2.6 m

E = (8.99 × 10⁹ × 4.2 × 10⁻⁶)/2.6²

E = 5.59 × 10³ N/C

b) Tension in the silk fiber above the spider is the net force due to the weight of spider one and the force of repulsion due the two charges.

Force due to the two charges = Eq

where q now represents the charge of the first spider at the first point, feeling the electric field calculated in (a)

F = 5.59 × 10³ × 3.4 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.01901 N directed upwards. (That is, F = + 0.019 N)

Weight of the spider = mg = 0.025 × 9.8 = 0.245 N directed downwards. (That is, W = -0.245 N)

Net force, T = mg - F = 0.245 - 0.019 = 0.226 N (that is, 0.226 N, directed upwards, away from the spider).

If the phase angle for a block–spring system in SHM is ϕ and the block's position is given by x = xm cos(ωt + ϕ), what is the ra

matrenka [14]

Explanation:

The given position of block x = x₀ cos(ωt + φ)

The velocity of block v = dx/dt = - x₀ sin(ωt + φ) x ω

The kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m x₀² sin²(ωt + φ) x ω²

The potential energy of spring = 1/2 k x² , where k is the spring constant

Thus P.E = 1/2 x k x x₀² cos²(ωt + φ)

When t = 0

K.E = 1/2 m x₀²sin²φ x ω²

P.E = 1/2 k x₀² cos²φ

Dividing these , we have

K.E/P.E = m/k tan²φ x ω²
