False! The mechanical advantages that make up the simple machine, make up the compound machine! They work together!

Explain what surface tension is.

sergejj [24]

Surface tension<span> is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. for example, some objects can float on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insectsto run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of similar molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids.</span>

Which of the following is a consequence of the special theory of relativity?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Specifically, Special Relativity showed us that space and time are not independent of one another but can be mixed into each other and therefore must be considered as the same object, which we shall denote as space-time. The consequences of space/time mixing are: time dilation. and length contraction.

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter asserts that: Matter is made up of particles that are continually moving. All particles contain energy, however the energy fluctuates depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn decides whether the material exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous form.

A cannon fires a cannonball forward at a velocity of 48.1 m/s horizontally. If the cannon is on a mounted wagon 1.5 m tall, how

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 473.640 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the cannonball has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=48.1 m/s$ is the cannonball's initial velocity

$\theta=0$ because we are told the cannonball is shot horizontally

$t$ is the time since the cannonball is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the cannonball has traveled before landing. This means we need to find the maximum distance in the x-component, let's call it $X_{max}$ and this occurs when $y=0$ .

So, firstly we will find the time with (2):

$0=1.5 m+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2$ (3)

Rearranging the equation:

$0=-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t+1.5 m$ (4)

$-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+(48. 1 m/s) t+1.5 m=0$ (5)

This is a <u>quadratic equation</u> (also called <u>equation of the second degree</u>) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (6)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2}$

$b=48.1 m/s$

$c=1.5 m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-48.1 \pm \sqrt{48.1^{2}-4(-4.9)(1.5)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (7)

Solving (7) we find the positive result is:

$t=9.847 s$ (8)

Substituting this value in (1):

$x=(48.1 m/s)cos(0\°) (9.847 s)$ (9)

$x=473.640 m$ This is the horizontal distance the cannonball traveled before it landed on the ground.
