2 How does Descartes' "quality of motion" differ from the modern momentum?

Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.

Explanation:

Descartes law if conservation referred or defined “motion” rather than “momentum” as what is obtainable in today's world as ”speed” the rate at which something moves rather than “velocity” which is a product of speed and direction. So in conclusion Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.

Answer:

It's only 1.11 m/s2 weaker at 400 km above surface of Earth

Explanation:

Let Earth radius be 6371 km, or 6371000 m. At 400km above the Earth surface would be 6371 + 400 = 6771 km, or 6771000 m

We can use Newton's gravitational law to calculate difference in gravitational acceleration between point A (Earth surface) and point B (400km above Earth surface):

g = G\frac{M}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and r is the distance form the center of Earth to the object

\frac{g_B}{g_A} = \frac{GM/r^2_B}{GM/r^2_A}

\frac{g_B}{g_A} = \left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right)^2

\frac{g_B}{g_A} = \left(\frac{6371000}{6771000}\right)^2

\frac{g_B}{g_A} = 0.94^2 = 0.885

g_B = 0.885 g_A

So the gravitational acceleration at 400km above surface is only 0.885 the gravitational energy at the surface, or 0.885*9.81 = 8.7 m/s2, a difference of (9.81 - 8.7) = 1.11 m/s2.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the equation

h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+h_0

where h(t) is the height after a certain amount of time goes by, v0t is the initial upwards velocity, and h0 is the initial height of the projectile. For us:

h(t) = 10

v0t = 80

h0 = 3 and filling in:

10=-16t^2+80t+3 and get everything on one side to factor:

0=-16t^2+80t-7

This factors to

t = .09 sec and 4.9 sec. Let's interpret this.

The time of .09 is when the ball reached 10 feet on the way up, and

the time of 4.9 is when the ball reached 10 feet on the way back down. That's the height we need, 4.9 seconds.

An object has a mass of 120 kg on the moon. What is the force of gravity acting on the object on the
TiliK225 [7]
Weight of the 120kg mass object on the moon

It is a fact that the gravity on the Moon is (1/6)th that on the Earth.

Assuming g ≈ 10 m/s² on the earth.

W = m*(g moon) =  120 * (10/6) = 200N.

Weight on moon = 200N.

The object would weigh approximately 200N on the moon.. The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon is the same as the weight of the object on the moon. 

We can't find our answer from your options. Regards
