Answer:

B. Decrease

Explanation: When an spacecraft is flying away from the moon, the moons gravitational pull on the spacecraft will decrease because gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the moon and mass of the spacecraft while inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So as the spacecraft moves away from the moon, gravitational pull will decrease.

Arrange the examples in order, starting with the object that has the least amount of energy. In each case, assume there’s no fri

Artemon [7]

First example: book, m= 0.75 kg, h=1.5 m, g= 9.8 m/s², it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.75*9.8*1.5=11.025 J

Second example: brick, m=2.5 kg, v=10 m/s, h=4 m, it has potential energy Ep and kinetic energy Ek,

E=Ep+Ek=m*g*h + (1/2)*m*v²=98 J + 125 J= 223 J

Third example: ball, m=0.25 kg, v= 10 m/s, it has only kinetic energy Ek

Ek=(1/2)*m*v²=12.5 J.

Fourth example: stone, m=0.7 kg, h=7 m, it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.7*9.8*7=48.02 J

The order of examples starting with the lowest energy:

1. book, 2. ball, 3. stone, 4. brick

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto

kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

The force of tugboat A, $F_A = 3000 N$ , acting in a certain direction
The force of tugboat B, $F_B = 5000 N$ , also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

$F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N$

and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

Can someone help me?

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time. Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t, the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

$V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t$

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

$V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d$

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.
