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.

If a 7 kg bowling ball is lifted 2 m into the air and dropped, what speed will it strike the ground? (
Naily [24]

Answer:

6.32m/s

Explanation:

note:Now these calculations are based in the fact that acc. due to gravity is 10m/s²

okay so I'm thinking you think the speed of a body depends on the mass of the body also,umh... well it doesn't at all!

when two bodies of different masses fall from the same height,they fall at the same time( this is just to say)

now enough of the talking let solve....

so the ball was dropped .ie from rest to the ground through a distance of 2m,

the formula for calculating the distance if a body moving in a straight line is given by:

S=ut + ½at² where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration ( of the body or due to gravity, but since its falling freely under the influence of gravity its " we use the acceleration due to gravity ,which is 10m/s²) and t is the time taken to cover the distance.

from our question the ball was dropped from rest thus its u is 0 therefore we use this equation to find the time it took to touch ground (S=½at²)

solving ....

we get t to be 0.632s

to find the speed we substitute t in the equation below:

V=u+at ,but since u=0

V=at =10•0.632=6.32m/s

therefore the speed the body uses to strike the ground is 6.32m/s

LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

i) E = 269 [MJ]    ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

i)

E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\where:\\E_{k1}= kinetic energy at moment 1\\W_{1-2}= work between moments 1 and 2.\\E_{k2}= kinetic energy at moment 2.

W_{1-2}= (F*d) - (m*g*h)\\W_{1-2}=(500000*2.5*10^3)-(40000*9.81*2.5*10^3)\\W_{1-2}= 269*10^6[J] or 269 [MJ]

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

E_{k2}=0.5*m*v^2\\269*10^6=0.5*40000*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{269*10^6}{0.5*40000} }\\ v=116[m/s]

The handles of the tools like screwdrivers and pliers used by electricians for repair work usually have plastic or rubber covers
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Rubber or plastic covers are bad conductors of electricity. So they do not allow the electric current to pass through it.

Explanation:

Rubber and plastic are bad conductors of electricity, therefore when handling a tool with a rubber handle, the electricity will not pass through it.
