At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>

A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit
Agata [3.3K]

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet
