A space explorer is moving through space far from any planet or star. He notices a large rock, taken as a specimen from an alien

planet, floating around the cabin of the ship. Should he push it gently or kick it towards the storage compartment

My suggestion would be to push the rock gently in the direction
he wants it to go.  If he kicks it, then he could injure his toe, and
the large rock might take off in the direction of a vital control panel
or navigation component.  By pushing it gently, he can give it a small
acceleration, assuring that it won't become a dangerous missile, and
he can control it with greater accuracy.  There's no reason for the explorer
to be in a hurry.  Does he have places to go ?  Appointments to keep ? 
Where can he go ?  He's in space !  Relax !  Take care of the rock safely.

The breaking car had 10,000 J of kinetic energy before breaking after breaking it had 2000 J of kinetic energy. How much thermal
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J

A particle of mass m=5.00 kilograms is at rest at t=0.00 seconds. a varying force f(t)=6.00t2−4.00t+3.00 is acting on the partic
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The speed v of the particle at t=5.00 seconds = 43 m/s

Explanation:

Given :

mass m = 5.00 kg

force f(t) = 6.00t2−4.00t+3.00 N

time t between t=0.00 seconds and t=5.00 seconds

From mathematical expression of Newton's second law;

Force = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

F = ma              

a = \frac{F}{m}      ...... (1)

acceleration (a) = \frac{dv}{dt}   ......(2)

substituting (2) into (1)

Hence, F = \frac{mdv}{dt}

\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{F}{m}

dv = \frac{F}{m} dt

dv = \frac{1}{m}Fdt

Integrating both sides

\int\limits {} \, dv = \frac{1}{m} \int\limits {F(t)} \, dt

The force is acting on the particle between t=0.00 seconds and t=5.00 seconds;

v = \frac{1}{m} \int\limits^5_0 {F(t)} \, dt     ......(3)

Substituting the mass (m) =5.00 kg of the particle, equation of the varying force f(t)=6.00t2−4.00t+3.00 and calculating speed at t = 5.00seconds into (3):

v = \frac{1}{5} \int\limits^5_0 {(6t^{2} - 4t + 3)} \, dt

v = \frac{1}{5} |\frac{6t^{3} }{3} - \frac{4t^{2} }{2} + 3t |^{5}_{0}

v = \frac{1}{5} |(\frac{6(5)^{3} }{3} - \frac{4(5)^{2} }{2} + 3(5)) - 0|

v = \frac{1}{5} |\frac{6(125)}{3} - \frac{4(25)}{2} + 15 |

v = \frac{1}{5} |\frac{750}{3} - \frac{100}{2} + 15 |

v = \frac{1}{5} | 250 - 50 + 15 |

v = \frac{215}{5}

v = 43 meters per second

The speed v of the particle at t=5.00 seconds = 43 m/s

In the eastern US, hurricanesusually form over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and travel north. When they are over the col
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.

Have a great day!
