Two rocks are moving through empty space in a straight line at the same speed. One has a mass of 10 kg, the other has a mass of

50 kg. Which statement about the rocks is true?
A.
Both will be stopped by the same amount of force acting against them.



B.
The one with less mass takes more force to stop.



C.
The one with greater mass takes more force to stop.



D.
Both will stop on their own without any force acting on them.

A and D are definitely wrong because the two rocks have different masses, so it leaves us with B and C. The most logical answer to the question is
C <span>The one with greater mass takes more force to stop.

What conclusions can you draw about the connection between the Sun’s altitude and the latitude of the observer on seasonal chang
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Altitude of the Sun and the latitude position on the earth play an important role in the season change on the earth.

When the altitude of the sun is high then the average temperature of the earth is higher because the luminous intensity of the sun rays is higher due to the focusing of high energy sun rays over a small area.

But when the sun is at higher altitudes we receive less denser rays of the sun and hence we have less heat on the earth on an average.

  • But despite of the altitude some places on the earth have distinct temperature than the other place at the same time of the year. This is due to their latitudinal location. The places near the equator are warmer most of the times throughout the year because they receive the most direct rays while the poles receive slanting rays and hence are colder even in summer when the earth is at lower altitudes.

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

F = 62.5 N

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg + F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg - F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}

F = 62.5 N

What is the lift (in newtons) due to Bernoulli's principle on a wing of area 76 m2 if the air passes over the top and bottom sur
AveGali [126]

Answer:

So lift will be 30.19632 N

Explanation:

We have given area of the wing a=76m^2

We know that density of air d=1.29kg/m^3

Speed at top surface v_2=290m/sec and speed at bottom surface v_1=150m/sec

According to Bernoulli's principle force is given by

F=A\times d\times \frac{v_2^2-v_1^2}{2}=76\times 1.29\times \frac{290^2-150^2}{2}=3019632N

Why do we need gametes?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Gametes are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism.

Explanation:

The male gamete or sperm, is a smaller, mobile cell that meets up with the much larger and less mobile female gamete, egg or ova.
