Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as

L = 235 m

angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree

now we will have horizontal displacement as

x = L cos35

x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m

similarly for vertical displacement we can say

y = L sin35

y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa
vovikov84 [41]
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.

Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with Einstein's special relativity because
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

A soccer field is viewed from above, while a ball is kicked eastward with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The ball experiences a c
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

First course : a_{x} = 0.75 m/s², d_{x} = 20 m, u_{x} = 10 m/s

now, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

v_{x}² = (10)² + (2 × 0.75 × 20)

v_{x}² = 100 + 30

v_{x}² = 130

v_{x} = √130

v_{x} = 11.4 m/s

for the Second Course:

u_{y} =  11.4 m/s,  a_{y} = -1.15 m/s²,  v_{y} = 0

Also, form the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute

0² = (11.4)² + (2 × (-1.15) ×  d_{y} )

0 = 129.96 - 2.3d_{y}

2.3d_{y}  = 129.96

d_{y} = 129.96 / 2.3

d_{y} = 56.5 m

so;

|d| = √( d_{x}² + d_{y}² )

we substitute

|d| = √( (20)² + (56.5)² )

|d| = √( 400 + 3192.25 )

|d| = √( 3592.25 )

|d| = 59.9 m ≈ 60 m

Therefore, the ball travelled approximately 60 m towards north before stopping

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.
