Answer:

d. Imaginary point through which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object

Explanation:

Gravity acting on all particle points of the object, no matter how small they are. As a combination, the center of gravity would denote a single point which  substitutes for all the gravity forces on the object.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

amm1812

Answer:

4.13Hz

Explanation:

f1 = 1/t1 = 1/0.022 = 45.45 Hz

f2 = 1/t2 = 1/0.0242= 41.32 Hz

No. of beats

= 45.45- 41.32

~ 4.13Hz

In order to attain orbit around earth, the ATLAS-V rocket must accelerate up to a
IrinaK [193]
A) average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

= 7700 - 0 / 11

= 700ms^-2


B) force = mass x acceleration

= (3.05 x 105) x 700

= 320.25 x 700

= 224,175N

A car moves with a speed 72km/h, the driver uses the brakes, the car stops after 8 seconds, calculate its speed after 10 seconds
vampirchik [111]
The acceleration of the car is solved by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed then dividing the result by the elapsed time.

initial speed = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s

final speed = 0 m/s

elapsed time = 5 seconds

acceleration = (0 m/s – 20 m/s) / 5 s

acceleration = - 20m/s / 5 s

acceleration = -4 m/s^2
