A ship needs an anchor because if a ship stop its just going to float around the ocean, but if the ship has the anchor then the ship will stay in place.

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ftâˆ™lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \ \times \ \ \ \ 1 \ lbf\ }$

$m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm$

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

If a metal ball suspended by a rod is at rest, which force is responsible for balancing the force due to gravity?

Viktor [21]

There are different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force, normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the object.

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) $t=5.5\mu s$

b) $\Delta t'=12.5\mu s$

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

v is the speed of the muon. 0.9*c
c is the speed of light 3*10⁸ m/s

$t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}=\frac{1500}{0.9*(3*10^{8})}$

$t=5.5\mu s$

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

$\Delta t'=\gamma\Delta t$
