A box is dropped from a spacecraft moving horizontally at 27.0 m/s at a distance of 155 m above the surface of a moon. The rate

of freefall acceleration on this airless moon is 2.79 m/s2. (a) How long does it take for the box to reach the moon's surface? (b) What is its horizontal displacement during this time? (c) What is its vertical velocity when it strikes the surface? (d) At what speed does the box strike the moon?

Explanation:

horizontal velocity v= 27.0 m/s

height of space craft = 155 m

rate of free fall acceleration on this airless moon is 2.79 m/s^2.

we know that

a) S= V×t+ 0.5at^2

h= 0×t+ 0.5×2.79t^2               [initial vertical velocity is zero]

155= 0.5×2.79t^2

⇒ t= 10.54 secs

this the the time that the box will take to reach the moon.

b) the horizontal velocity v= 27 m/s and t= 10.54 sec

therefore horizontal displacement d= 10.54×27= 284.58 m

c) for final vertical velocity

we can use the formula

(v_final)^2=( v_initial)^2+ 2×a×h

(v_final)^2=0^2+ 2×2.79×155

v_final= 29.40 m/s [this its  vertical velocity when it strikes the surface]

d) speed with which the box strike the moon will be resultant of the final vertical and horizontal velocity vectors that

\sqrt{27^2+29.40^2}

= 39.91 m/s

Answer:

a) 10.54 sec

b) 284.58 m

c) 29.406 m/s

d) 39.92 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

velocity of spacecraft = 27.0 m/s

rate of free fall acceleration is 2.79 m/s^2

distance of moving aircraft from mooon surface is 155 m

a. from kinematic eqaution of motion we have

y = Vi\times t + (\frac{1}{2}) a\times t^2

where y = 155 m

           Vi = 0  as this relation  is for vertical motion, so the 27.0 m/s is not included

and a = 2.79 m/s^2.

Solving for t we get

t = 10.54 sec

b.

we know that V = \frac{d}{t}

d = v\times t

   = 27 \times 10.54 = 284.58 m

c.  from the kinematic formula

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2.79\times 10.57

v = 29.4066 m/a

d. v = \sqrt { 27^2 + 29.406^2}

     v = 39.92 m/s

Question: Describe what drives the cycling of water between the different phases and locations on Earth.​
Cerrena [4.2K]
Water set free by magma began to cool down the Earth's atmosphere, until it could stay on the surface as a liquid. ... The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor.

If the speed of a motor scooter doubles, which of the following also doubles? 1)kinetic energy 2) acceleration 3) momentum 4) al
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

-The formula for kinetic energy is the following:

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where:

K.E. is kinetic energy

m is mass

v is velocity

Here we can see that kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, so if the speed or velocity of the scooter doubles then this would quadruple its kinetic energy.

-The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. A scooter could double its speed with a constant acceleration, so an increase in speed doesn't necessarily mean an increase in acceleration.

-The formula for momentum is the following:

p=mv

where:

p is momentum

m is the mass of the object

v is the objects velocity

Here we can see that the momentum is directly proportional to the velocity, so if the scooter where to double its velocity then it would also double its momentum.
