Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.

jok3333 [9.3K]
<h2>It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial speed, u = 34 ft/s = 10.36 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = Final height - Initial height = 8 - 4 = 4 ft = 1.22 m

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

              s = ut + 0.5 at²

              1.22 = 10.36 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

              4.905t² - 10.36 t + 1.22 = 0

              t = 1.99 s     or    t = 0.125 seconds

Minimum time is 0.125 seconds.

It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.

Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

       Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

       Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

       Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

                       F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

 Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}

 Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta  ) = 0.6\\\\\beta  = 53.13^{\circ \:}

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

       Between sphere A and C:

                  Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

                  Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2  

                  Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

                  vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

                  vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

                  vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

       Between sphere B and C:

                  Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

                  Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2  

                  Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

                  vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

                  vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

                  vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

                  Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

                  Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8  + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

                  Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N
