A comic-strip superhero meets an asteroid in outer space and hurls it at 100 m/s. The asteroid is a thousand times more massive

than the superhero is. In the strip, the superhero is seen at rest after the throw. Taking physics into account, what would be his recoil speed? What is this in miles per hour?

Answer:

100000 m/s in the opposite direction

22369.4185194 mph

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of superhero

m_2 = Mass of asteroid = 1000m_1

v_2 = Speed at which the asteroid is thrown = 100 m/s

v_1 = Recoil velocity

Here the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\dfrac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\dfrac{1000m_1\times 100}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-100000\ m/s

The recoil speed is 100000 m/s in the opposite direction

Converting to miles per hour

\dfrac{10000}{1609.34}\times 3600=22369.4185194\ mph

The speed is 22369.4185194 mph

This city is the capital of the state of Georgia since 1868 and was burned during the Civil War.
Sphinxa [80]

The correct answer is - Atlanta.

Georgia is a state that has had multiple capitals since the arrival of the first European settlers, changing them very often in accordance to the circumstances. The last one in the row has been Atlanta. This city got the privilege to be the capital of Georgia in 1868 after the Atlanta council applied for it. The US government took everything in perspective, from infrastructure, population, location, and very importantly politics. The political aspect seems to be the case where Atlanta won the case to become capital, as the capital until than, Milledgeville, was still a city where the black population was not welcomed and the racism was still on a very high level.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

<em>c. ABBA counterbalancing </em>

Explanation:

The student should not use the method because it is a progressive error management technique for each subject by introducing all <em>treatment circumstances twice, first in one sequence, then in the other (AB, BA) by subject counterbalancing.</em>

If participants experience conditions more than once, they experience the conditions first in one order, then the opposite order.

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

If the person drops box from 3.8 m how much energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

When work is done the energy is transferred from one type to another. This transferred energy may appear as kinetic energy.

For example, when you pedal your bicycle so that its speed increases, you are doing work to transfer chemical energy from your muscles to the kinetic energy of the bicycle.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses by virtue of its movement. The amount of kinetic energy possessed by a moving object depends on the mass of the object and its speed. The greater the mass and the speed of the object the greater its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy Ek of an object of mass m at a speed v is given by the relationship

{E_k} = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}

m is the mass of the object in kilograms ( kg) and v is the speed of the object in metres per second ( m\,s^{-1}).

Explanation:

When work is done on an object it may also lead to energy being transferred to the object in the form of gravitational potential energy of the object.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position above the surface of the Earth. When an object is lifted, work is done. When work is done in raising the height of an object, energy is transferred as a gain in the gravitational potential energy of the object.

For example, suppose you lift a suitcase of mass m through a height h. The weight W of the suit case is a downward force of size mg. In lifting the suitcase, you would have to pull upwards on it with a force equal in size to its weight, mg.

Two suitcases. One has a green force arrow pointing up labelled F and a purple force arrow pointing down labelled 'Weight = mg'. The other case is raised by a height labelled h.

Suitcases with forces and height labelled

When this force (equal to the weight mg, but upwards) is applied to the suitcase over the distance h:

Work\,done=force\,\times\,distance\,upwards=mg\,\times\,h

This energy is transferred to potential energy when raising the object through a known height.

Energy = mass \times gravitational\,field\,strength \times height

E = m \times g \times h

This is the relationship used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

{E_p} = mgh

where m is the mass of the object in kilograms (kg), g is the gravitational field strength, (for positions near the surface of the Earth g = 9∙8 newtons per kilogram ( N kg ^{-1} and h is the height above the surface of the Earth in metres ( m).
