If an astronaut throws an object in space, the object’s speed will _____

1 answer:

7 0

The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
$\sum F=ma$
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

Two lightbulbs work on a 120-V circuit One 50 W and the other is 100 W. Which bulb has a higher resistance? Explain pls!!!!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Bulb 1 has more resistance.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two lightbulbs work on a 120-V circuit.

The power of circuit 1, P₁ = 50 W

The power of circuit 2, P₂ = 100 W

We need to find the bulb that has a higher resistance.

The power of the bulb is given by :

$P = \dfrac{V^2}{R}$

For bulb 1,

$R_1=\dfrac{V^2}{P_1}\\\\R_1=\dfrac{(120)^2}{50}\\\\R_1=288\ \Omega$

For bulb 2,

$R_2=\dfrac{V^2}{P_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{(120)^2}{100}\\\\R_2=144\ \Omega$

So, bulb 1 has higher resistance.

I would say friction because it requires to surfaces in order for the force to take place

correct me if I'm wrong.

A ______ is a network that has all connected devices located in the same physical location.

Dafna11 [192]

<span>The answer is Local Area Network (LAN). Examples of LANs, are those in workplaces, libraries, and universities. The nodes are connected and share common resources over a WiFi, Ethernet network, Token rings, and etcetera. The opposite of LAN is a Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers a wide geographical area.</span>

What is the mass of 3 m3 of a substance having density 1200 kg/m3

adell [148]

Answer:

3600 kg

Explanation:

From the question,

Density = Mass/Volume

D = M/V.............................. Equation 1

Where D = Density of the substance, M = mass of the substance, V = Volume of the subtance.

Make M the subject of the equation

M = D×V ............................ Equation 2

Given: D = 1200 kg/m³, V = 3 m³.

Substitute these values into equation 2

M = 1200×3

M = 3600 kg.

Hence the mass of the substance is 3600 kg
