An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion until acted upon by an external unbalanced source. Ex) a ball remaining still until kicked by a foot.

A object will stay in motion until something hits it, like if u throw a stick in space, the stick will glide until it hits something

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?

antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

A(n) 7.7-kg object is sliding across the ice at 2.34 m/s in the positive x direction. An internal explosion occurs, splitting th

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

Explanation:

By momentum conservation along x direction we will have

$mv_i = \frac{m}{2}v_1 + \frac{m}{2}v_2$

so we have

$v_1 + v_2 = 2v$

$v_1 + v_2 = 4.68$

also by energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17 J$

$\frac{1}{4}m(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17$

$(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - 2v^2 = \frac{4}{7.7}(17)$

$(4.68 - v_2)^2 + v_2^2 - 2v^2 = 8.83$

$21.9 + 2v_2^2 - 9.36 v_2 - 10.95 = 8.83$

$2v_2^2 - 9.36v_2 + 2.12 = 0$

by solving above equation we will have

$v_1 = 4.44 m/s$

$v_2 = 0.24 m/s$

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = \frac{4.44 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = \frac{0.24 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the

zavuch27 [327]

' +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is 4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is

(10 x 4m/s) = 40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.

On a horizontal surface is located

Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

n - w = 0

where n = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and w = weight of the object. Hence n = w = mg = 196 N, where m = 20 kg and g = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of static friction µ is such that

80 N = µ (196 N) → µ = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of kinetic friction ν is

40 N = ν (196 N) → ν = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: µ and ν are the Greek letters mu and nu)
