A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 1.43 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of

6.47°. At the bottom of the incline, the penguin slides onto a horizontal patch of ice. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the penguin and the ice is the same for the incline as for the horizontal patch. How much time is required for the penguin to slide to a halt after entering the horizontal patch of ice?

Answer:

t =1.285  s

Explanation:

u=1.43 m/s

∅=6.47°

We know that  μ(k)=tan∅

F(net)=-f(k)

ma =μ(k)*m*g

a =μ(k)*g   equation 1

v=u+at

0=u+(μ(k)*g*t

Putting values

t=u/(g*tan∅)

t=\frac{1.43}{9.81*tan(6.47)}

t=1.285 s

Applying newton's version of kepler's third law (or the orbital velocity law) to the a star orbiting 40,000 light-years from the
Ugo [173]

Applying Newtons version of Kepler's third law or the orbital velocity law to the star orbiting 40000 light years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy allows us to determine the mass of the Milky Way Galaxy that lies within 40000 light years in the galactic center.

<h3></h3><h3>What is orbital velocity law?</h3>

The orbital velocity law states that, the orbital velocity is directly proportional to the mass of the body for which it is being calculated and inversely proportional to the radius of the body. Earths orbital velocity near its surface is around 8km/sec if the air resistance is disregarded.

In space exploration, orbital velocity is a crucial topic. Space authorities heavily rely on it to comprehend how to launch satellites. It aids scientists in figuring out the velocities at which satellites must orbit a planet or other celestial body to prevent collapsing into it. The speed at which one body orbits the other body is known as the orbital velocity. The term "orbit" refers to an object's consistent circular motion around the Earth. The distance between the object and the earth's centre determines the orbit's velocity.

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\
bonufazy [111]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.

Why is it important for engineers to design bumper cars safely
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Cars have bumpers designed to protect the body of the car from minor damage during low-speed collisions. ... They will use the engineering design process to design and build bumpers to protect the main parts of their car from damage, and use their knowledge of Newton's third law to explain what they observe.

A perfectly flexible cable has length L, and initially it is at rest with a length Xo of it hanging over the table edge. Neglect
zaharov [31]

Answer:

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Explanation:

Given that

Length = L

At initial over hanging length = Xo

Lets take the length =X after time t

The velocity of length will become V

Now by energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2=mg(X-X_o)

So

V=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}

We know that

\dfrac{dX}{dt}=V

\dfrac{dX}{dt}=\sqrt{2g(X-X_o)}

\sqrt{2g}\ dt=(X-X_o)^{-\frac{1}{2}}dX

At t= 0 ,X=Xo

So we can say that

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

So the length of cable after time t

X=X_o+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2
