In the absence of air resistance and friction, what will happen to the velocity of an object going at 20 m/s E?

MariettaO [177]3 years ago
3 0
In the absence of any other forces, the object will continue to move at 20 m/s E.

In fact, Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration of the object:
\sum F = ma
therefore, if there are no forces acting on the object, the term on the left is zero, and the acceleration of the object is zero as well. This means that the object will continue its motion with constant speed, and in the same direction.

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

A powerful searchlight shines on a man. The man's cross-sectional area is 0.500m2 perpendicular to the light beam, and the inten
babymother [125]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N

(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Explanation:

Given;

cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²

intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²

If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;

P = I/c

where;

P is the pressure of the incident light

I is the intensity of the incident light

c is the speed of light

P = \frac{I}{c} =\frac{35500}{3*10^8} = 1.18*10^{-4} \ N/m^2

F = PA

where;

F is the force of the incident light on the man

P is the pressure of the incident light on the man

A is the cross-sectional area of the man

F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Consider a rigid body that rotates but whose center of mass is at rest. True or false: the rotational kinetic energy of the enti
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let us consider a rigid body which contains tiny particles of mass dm each. and the angular velocity ω for each of the particle is same and teh radius of rotation is r.

the linear velocity, v = r ω

The total kinetic energy is given by

K=\int \frac{1}{2}dm v^{2}

K=\int \frac{1}{2}dm r^{2}\omega^{2}

K=\frac{1}{2}\times \omega^{2}\int dm r^{2}

K = 1/2 Iω^2

where I is the moment of inertia.

A 1 000-V battery, a 3 000-Ω resistor, and a 0.50-μF capacitor are connected in series with a switch. The time constant for such
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The current in the circuit at a time interval of τ seconds after the switch has been closed is 0.123 A

Explanation:

The time constant for an R and C in series circuit is given by τ = RC.

R = 3000 ohms, C = 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ F = 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ F

τ = 3000 × 5 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.015 s

The voltage across a capacitor as it charges is given be

V(t) = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = 1/τ

At the point when t = τ, the expassion becomes

V(t = τ) = 1000 (1 - e⁻¹) = 0.632 × 1000 = 632 V

Current flows as a result of potential difference,.

Current in the circuit at this time t =  τ is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

Vs = source voltage = 1000 V

Vc = Voltage across the capacitor = 632 V

R = 3000 ohms

I = (1000 - 632)/3000 = 0.123 A
