Whirl a rock at the end of a string and it follows a circular path. If the string breaks, the tendency of the rock is to follow

a straight-line path. This is explained by:_______.
a) its velocity.
b) its constant force.
c) its inertia.
d) its greater acceleration.

Answer:

option C.

Explanation:

The correct answer option C.

When the rock tied at the end of the string and rotated the rock has two accelerations acting on it. One is tangential acceleration and another one is radial acceleration.

The rock has that tendency to move tangential but due to centripetal force, it is rotating in a circular path.

But when the string breaks the rock will move in a straight path.

This is because of the inertia because rock tendency is to be in a straight path but due to external force it was moving in a circular path but when the string breaks it moves in a straight line.

A jet airliner moving initially at 503 mph
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The new speed is 1230.28 m/h

Explanation:

The jet airliner moving initially at 503 mph to the east

The wind is blowing at  855 mph in a direction 52° north of east

At first let us distribute the velocity of the wind into east component

and north component

→ The east component is 855 cos(52) m/h

→ The north component is 855 sin(52) m/h

Now we have two components of velocity in the east direction

and one component of velocity in the north direction

The new speed is the resultant of the east and north components

→ The east components are 503 m/h and 855 cos(52) m/h

→ The north component is 855 sin(52) m/h

Add the components of the speeds in direction of east

→ The east component = 503 + 855 cos(52) = 1029.39 m/h

→ The north component = 855 sin(52) = 673.75 m/h

Now we can find the new speed as a resultant speed of the east and

north components

→ The new speed = \sqrt{(1029.39)^{2}+(673.75)^{2}}

→ The new speed = 1230.28 m/h

<em>The new speed is 1230.28 m/h</em>

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

inessss [21]

Answer:

Part a)

m_2 = 4.9 \times 10^7 kg

Part b)

q_1 = q_2 = 5312.6 C

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that both charge particles will exert equal and opposite force on each other

so here the force on both the charges will be equal in magnitude

so we will have

F = m_1a_1 = m_2a_2

here we have

6.3 \times 10^7(7) = m_2(9)

now we have

m_2 = 4.9 \times 10^7 kg

Part b)

Now for the force between two charges we can say

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

now we have

(6.3 \times 10^7)(7) = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{(24\times 10^3)^2}

now we have

q_1 = q_2 = 5312.6 C
