love history [14]

A firecracker before been lit has potential energy in it. It is chemical potential energy which is due to the explosives in it.When it is lit, it gets converted into heat,light and kinetic energy.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?

Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>

Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>

According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
Acceleration= Force / M
Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.

pychu [463]

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

In the process of peppering the question with those forty (40 !) un-necessary quotation marks, you neglected to actually show us the illustration. So we have no information to describe the adjacent positions, and we're not able to come up with any answer to the question.

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

$a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m$

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.
