An arrow is shot upward from the roof of a building 75 m high with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , what total dista

nce has it traveled after 6 seconds?

Answer:

60m

Explanation:

According to one of the equation of motions, v² = u²+2as where;

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Since the arrow is shot upwards, the body will experience a negative acceleration due to gravity i.e a = -g

Therefore our equation will become;

v² = u² - 2gS

Given u = 40m/s, g = 10m/s², S = 75m

Substituting to get the final velocity of the arrow we will have;

v² = 40²-2(10)(75)

v² = 1600 - 1500

v² = 100

v = √100

v = 10m/s

Total distance traveled is speed of the object × time taken

Total distance traveled = 10 × 6

= 60m

The arrow has therefore traveled 60m after 6seconds

Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is F = GmM r2

Nookie1986 [14]

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>(a) </h2>

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the Gravity Force is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}$ (1)

This expression can also be written as:

$F=GMm{r}^{-2}$ (2)

If we derive this force $F$ respect to the distance $r$ between the two masses:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=\frac{d}{dr}(GMm{r}^{-2})dr$ (3)

Taking into account $GMm$ are constants:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2GMm{r}^{-3}$ (4)

Or

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

<h2> (b) dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. </h2><h2 />

In other words, this means how much does the Gravity Force changes with the distance between the two bodies.

More precisely this change is inversely proportional to the distance elevated to the cubic exponent.

As the distance increases, the Force decreases.

<h2>(c) The minus sign indicates that the bodies are being forced in the negative direction. </h2>

This is because Gravity is an attractive force, as well as, a central conservative force.

This means it does not depend on time, and both bodies are mutually attracted to each other.

<h2>(d) </h2>

In the first answer we already found the decrease rate of the Gravity force respect to the distance, being its unit $N/km$ :

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

We have a force that decreases with a rate 1 $\frac{dF_{1}}{dr}dFdr=4N/km$ when $r=20000km$ :

$4N/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(20000km)}^{3}}$ (6)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})$ (7)

In addition, we have another force that decreases with a rate 2 $\frac{dF_{2}}{dr}dFdr=X$ when $r=10000km$ :

$XN/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$ (8)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=X({(10000km)}^{3})$ (9)

Making (7)=(9):

$(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})=X({(10000km)}^{3}$ (10)

Then isolating $X$ :

$X=\frac{4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3}}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$

Solving and taking into account the units, we finally have:

$X=-32N/km$ >>>>This is how fast this force changes when $r=10000 km$

If the radius of an object in circular motion is doubled, what change will occur in the centripetal force?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The centripetal force will be 1/2 as big as it was. (option c)

Explanation:

Recall that centripetal force ( $F_c$ ) is defined as: $F_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r}$ where "v" is the tangential velocity of the object in circular motion, "r" is the radius of rotation and "m" is the object's mass.

So if we start with such formula with a given mass, radius, and tangential velocity, and then we move to a situation where everything stays the same except for the radius which doubles, then the new centripetal force ( $F'_c$ ) will be given by: $F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}$

and this is half (1/2) of the original force:

$F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{2r}\\F'_c=m\,* \frac{v^2}{r}*\frac{1}{2} \\F'_c=F_c\,*\,\frac{1}{2}$

which is expressed by option "c" of the provided list.

If it took 3 hours to clean 6 houses, how many houses could be cleaned in 12 hours?

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

24

Explanation:

If it took 3 hours to clean 6 houses than you can figure that is 2 houses per hours. so if there are 12 hours and 2 houses an hour, you multiply 12x2 and get 24. Another way to do it is to use proportions (aka two fractions that equal eachother):

3 hours 12 hours

---------------- = ---------------

6 houses number of houses

To calculate this, we can think about how we go from 3 to 12. Well, 3x4 is 12, so we got to 12 by doing multiplying by 4. So we can multiply 6 by 4 and you get 24.

How does a logistic growth curve differ from an exponential growth curve?

Paladinen [302]

Firstly models are just predictors, they are not exact models. Exponential growth <span>models are good when populations are small relative to the amount of resources available. ... This is where the </span>exponential<span> model breaks down. The </span>logistic<span> function tries to compensate for this with the carrying capacity.</span>
