Answer:

1. Earth rotates on its axis; this causes us to experience day and night.

2. The speed of light is 186000 miles per second

3. The four seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. At different times of the year, the sun's rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth's axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere towards the sun during the summer.

Answer:

Seasons occur because of the tilt of the earth's axis which is at an angle of 23.5o. As the earth rotates, the sun rays hit different parts of the globe more directly than others... that's why in the UK its Summer when its Winter in Australia ie North/South hemisphere.

Google speed of light for eg mph, km/h etc but the exact figure is 299,792,458 metres per second

Olegator [25]

Answer:

366.90149 m/s

923.821735 J

324.734 J

Initial Kinetic energy > Final kinetic energy

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of block = 0.072 kg

m_2 = Mass of bullet = 4.67 g

u_1 = Initial Velocity of block = 0

u_2 = Initial Velocity of bullet = 629 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of block = 17 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of bullet

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.072\times 0+4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 629-0.072\times 17}{4.67\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=366.90149\ m/s

Final Velocity of bullet is 366.90149 m/s

The initial kinetic energy

K_i=\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2\\\Rightarrow K_i=\frac{1}{2}4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 629^2\\\Rightarrow K_i=923.821735\ J

The final kinetic energy

K_f=\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\Rightarrow K_f=\frac{1}{2}4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 366.90149^2+\frac{1}{2}0.072\times 17^2\\\Rightarrow K_f=324.734\ J

Initial Kinetic energy > Final kinetic energy

A body of mass 5kg is ejected vertically from the ground when a force of 600N acts on it for 0.1s.Calculate the velocity with wh
Reil [10]

1200

Explanation:

F = m x (v / t)

v / t = F / m

v = (F / m) / t

v = (600 / 5) / 0.1

v = 120 / 0.1

v = 1200 m / s

Write one example situation of Newton's Third Law involving mass that are the same.
puteri [66]

Answer:

Examples of Newton's third law of motion are ubiquitous in everyday life. For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *
Ganezh [65]
+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.

a 300kg motorboat is turned off as it approaches a dock and coasts towards it at .5 m/s. Isaac, whose mass is 62 kg jumps off th
Zolol [24]

-- Before he jumps, the mass of (Isaac + boat) = (300 + 62) = 362 kg,
their speed toward the dock is 0.5 m/s, and their linear momentum is

  Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (362kg x 0.5m/s) = <u>181 kg-m/s</u>

<u>relative to the dock</u>. So this is the frame in which we'll need to conserve
momentum after his dramatic leap.

After the jump:

-- Just as Isaac is coiling his muscles and psyching himself up for the jump,
he's still moving at 0.5 m/s toward the dock.  A split second later, he has left
the boat, and is flying through the air at a speed of 3 m/s relative to the boat.
That's 3.5 m/s relative to the dock.

    His momentum relative to the dock is (62 x 3.5) = 217 kg-m/s toward it.

But there was only 181 kg-m/s total momentum before the jump, and Isaac
took away 217 of it in the direction of the dock.  The boat must now provide
(217 - 181) = 36 kg-m/s of momentum in the opposite direction, in order to
keep the total momentum constant.

Without Isaac, the boat's mass is 300 kg, so 

                     (300 x speed) = 36 kg-m/s .

Divide each side by 300:  speed = 36/300 = <em>0.12 m/s ,</em> <u>away</u> from the dock.
=======================================

Another way to do it . . . maybe easier . . . in the frame of the boat.

In the frame of the boat, before the jump, Isaac is not moving, so
nobody and nothing has any momentum.  The total momentum of
the boat-centered frame is zero, which needs to be conserved.

Isaac jumps out at 3 m/s, giving himself (62 x 3) = 186 kg-m/s of
momentum in the direction <u>toward</u> the dock.

Since 186 kg-m/s in that direction suddenly appeared out of nowhere,
there must be 186 kg-m/s in the other direction too, in order to keep
the total momentum zero.

In the frame of measurements from the boat, the boat itself must start
moving in the direction opposite Isaac's jump, at just the right speed 
so that its momentum in that direction is 186 kg-m/s.
The mass of the boat is 300 kg so
                                                         (300 x speed) = 186

Divide each side by 300:  speed = 186/300 = <em>0.62 m/s</em>    <u>away</u> from the jump.

Is this the same answer as I got when I was in the frame of the dock ?
I'm glad you asked. It sure doesn't look like it.

The boat is moving 0.62 m/s away from the jump-off point, and away from
the dock.
To somebody standing on the dock, the whole boat, with its intrepid passenger
and its frame of reference, were initially moving toward the dock at 0.5 m/s.
Start moving backwards away from <u>that</u> at 0.62 m/s, and the person standing
on the dock sees you start to move away <u>from him</u> at 0.12 m/s, and <em><u>that's</u></em> the
same answer that I got earlier, in the frame of reference tied to the dock.

  yay !

By the way ... thanks for the 6 points.  The warm cloudy water
and crusty green bread are delicious.
