Answer:

The strength of gravity on the moon is $1.84\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the backpack, W = 9.2 N

Mass, m = 5 kg

It is required to find the strength of gravity on the moon. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is strength of gravity on the Moon

$g=\dfrac{W}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{9.2\ N}{5\ kg}\\\\g=1.84\ m/s^2$

So, the strength of gravity on the moon is $1.84\ m/s^2$ .

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

$T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s$

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz$

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

$\lambda=4.8 m$

And the wave speed is given by:

$v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s$

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

$A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m$

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

$A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m$

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.

You drop two balls of equal diameter from the same height at the same time. Ball 1 is made of metal and has a greater mass than

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The drop time ball 1 is less than the drop time of ball 2. A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The net force acting on the ball will be:

⇒ $F_{net}=mg-F_r$

Here,

F = Force

m = mass

g = acceleration

Now,

According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion, we get

⇒ $F_{net} = ma$

To find the value of "a", we have to substitute " $F_{net}=ma$ " in the above equation,

⇒ $ma=mg-F_r$

⇒ $a=g-\frac{F_r}{m}$

We can see that, the acceleration is greater for the greater mass of less for the lesser mass. Thus the above is the appropriate solution.

A tennis ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of +6.2 m/s. What will the ball’s velocity be when it returns

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$v_{f}=-6.2 m/s$

Explanation:

The ball will rise decreasing its speed until it reaches the highest point where its speed will be zero. From this point the tennis ball will begin to fall again, in the free fall the tennis ball will gain speed but now in the opposite direction. When it returns to the same point where it was launched, its speed will be the same as the one that was launched but with the opposite sign.

$v_{f}=-6.2 m/s$

We can check this using the equation:

$v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2gh$

where $v_{i}=+6.2 m/s$

ang h is the height, but because the ball returns to the same point where it started, h =0

then

$v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2$

$v_{f}=v_{i}$

the initial and final velocity will be the same in number, but we know that the ball is going in the opposite direction, so the final velocity must have the opposite sign from the initial velocity

so if $v_{i}=+6.2 m/s$ ,

$v_{f}=-6.2 m/s$

What is the process of evaporation through plant leaves called

Marianna [84]

<h2>Answer: Transpiration </h2>

Vegetal transpiration is the loss of water in the form of vapor, in the plant through its different parts, especially its leaves.

In this process, soil water is absorbed by the roots of the plant and transported in liquid form to the leaves to be converted into water vapor, while a part is used in photosynthesis. That is why vegetal transpiration is considered a vital function in the photosynthesis process.

This is possible because the leaves have small pores that allow water to escape into the atmosphere in the form of vapor and absorb carbon dioxide. Then, most of the water in the plants is used in the process of transpiration and only a small percentage is retained in liquid state and used for its growth and storage.
