Answer:

C. There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the ​boat’s velocity.

Explanation:

This is because, according to Newton's First law of motion, when an object which in this case is the skier tends to be in equilibrium because it travels at a constant velocity, there is no net acceleration of the skier, and this causes the net force on the skier to be equal to zero.

Therefore in this question, option C which states that "There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the ​boat’s velocity" is a false statement.

Which evidence is lost likely used to indicate the beginning of solar system formation?
deff fn [24]

Explanation :

Our solar system was formed about 4.6 billion years ago. It is formed when gravity exerted low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The massive cloud of gas and dust is called as Orion Nebula.  

In a small area, the overdensity of clouds occurs. This caused the contraction, to begin. Due to this contraction the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy of individual gas particles.

Hence the correct option is " materials were pulled together by the gravity". This is the one of the evidence used to indicate the beginning of the solar system.

From the edge of a cliff, a 0.41 kg projectile is launched with an initial kinetic energy of 1430 J. The projectile's maximum up
NemiM [27]

Answer:

v₀ₓ = 63.5 m/s

v₀y = 54.2 m/s

Explanation:

First we find the net launch velocity of projectile. For that purpose, we use the formula of kinetic energy:

K.E = (0.5)(mv₀²)

where,

K.E = initial kinetic energy of projectile = 1430 J

m = mass of projectile = 0.41 kg

v₀ = launch velocity of projectile = ?

Therefore,

1430 J = (0.5)(0.41)v₀²

v₀ = √(6975.6 m²/s²)

v₀ = 83.5 m/s

Now, we find the launching angle, by using formula for maximum height of projectile:

h = v₀² Sin²θ/2g

where,

h = height of projectile = 150 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

θ = launch angle

Therefore,

150 m = (83.5 m/s)²Sin²θ/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

Sin θ = √(0.4216)

θ = Sin⁻¹ (0.6493)

θ = 40.5°

Now, we find the components of launch velocity:

x- component = v₀ₓ = v₀Cosθ  = (83.5 m/s) Cos(40.5°)

<u>v₀ₓ = 63.5 m/s</u>

y- component = v₀y = v₀Sinθ  = (83.5 m/s) Sin(40.5°)

<u>v₀y = 54.2 m/s</u>

HELP PLEASE 20 POINTS SHOW WORK, ALL EQUATIONS
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

s = 3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.

Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.

the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are

s = vt = 40(t + 2)  cm

s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm

they pass when their distance is the same

½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)

10t² = 40t + 80

0 = 10t² - 40t - 80

0 = t² - 4t - 8

t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)

t = (4± 6.928) / 2  ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.

t = 5.464 s

s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm

300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.

The suspension system of a 1700 kg automobile "sags" 7.7 cm when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude de
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

the spring constant k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

the value for the damping constant \\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

Thus; the spring constant k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}

b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) }    }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s

Therefore; the value for the damping constant \\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s
