Answer: Because the force of gravity depends on the size of the planet, so a smaller planet will have less gravitational force than a larger planet. So our gravitational force is not as strong as a bigger planet so we can still stand up and jump normally but on a smaller planet we could jump higher and on a bigger planet, we could not even be able to jump at all.

If you are driving 128.4 km/h along a straight road and you look down for 3.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive pe

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

107 m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

128.4 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 35.67 m/s

Distance = rate × time

d = 35.67 m/s × 3.0 s

d = 107 m

He distance between two consecutive crests is 2.5 meters. Which characteristic of the wave does this distance represent? amplitu

kupik [55]

Frequency is measured in units of reciprocal time.
Period is measured in units of time.
Phase is a number without units that represents a fraction of a wave.

None of these is measured in meters, so none of them can be the answer.
It must be either amplitude or wavelength.

Amplitude is a quantity that's measured at one or two points in the same wave.
The question is talking about points on consecutive waves.

<em>Wavelength is</em> the only choice left. That must be it.

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves

Artemon [7]

Answer:

calculating displacement.

Explanation:

It's not true that displacement and distance would be the same always. Displacement is always smaller than or equal to distance as it is the smallest path between the initial and final point whereas distance is the measure of the total path covered.

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is $F = 137.2 kN$

The location of pressure center is $Z = 1.333 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the gate is $h = 3 \ m$

The weight of the gate is $w = 7 \ m$

The height of the water is $h_w = 2 \ m$

The density of water is $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg/m^3$

Note used $h_w$ for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water is mathematically represented as

$A = h_w * w$

substituting values

$A = 2* 7$

$A = 14 \ m^2$

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

$F = \rho_w * g * h_f * A$

Where

$h_f =h- h_w$

$h_f =3 -2$

$h_f = 1\ m$

$F = 1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14$

$F = 137.2 kN$

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

$Z = h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}$

Where $I_g$ is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}$

The $h_w$ is the height of gate immersed in water

$I_g = \frac{7 * 2^2 }{12}$

$I_g = 4.667\ kg m^2$

Thus

$Z = 1 + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}$

$Z = 1.333 \ m$

The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 10^5 N/C. This field is the result of

alex41 [277]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the capacitance in the disks, the difference of the potential and the load in the disc.

The capacitance can be expressed in terms of the Area, the permeability constant and the diameter:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$
