Neglecting air, what speed does a rock thrown straight up have to be to reach the edge of our atmosphere: say 100 km? Still negl

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.

Mathematically we have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final velocity and Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity

0 - v_i^2 = 2(9.8)(100*10^3)

v_i = 14*10^2m/s

Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.

The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is 14 * 10 ^ 2m / s

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

What is an electrical charge how does it create electrical current
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

The moving charged particles in an electric current are called charge carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal. These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.

The flow of electrons in a direction is known as electric current. The tendency of attraction between the positive and negative charges makes electric current flow through a wire

Objects floating in the water, like buoys, only bob up and down when waves pass. Why do they not get pushed all the way to where
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.
