Answer: E. 450 K

Explanation:

It is given that the temperature of the gaseous planet is linearly related with height of the atmosphere. we can write this in the mathematical equation:

y = m x +c

where y is the temperature values, x is height, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. we have been given two sets of value in the image, using which we can find the value of slope in y-intercept.

at x = 18.40 km, y = 147.54 K

⇒147.54 = 18.40 m + c      

⇒c = 147.54 - 18.40 m  ..(1)

at x =78.11 km, y = 567.00 K

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + c       ..(2)

Put equation 1 in 2 and solve:

⇒567.00 =78.11 m + 147.54 - 18.40 m

⇒419.46 = 59.71 m

⇒ m =419.46 ÷59.71 = 7.025 K/km

c = 147.54 - 18.40 × 7.025 = 18.28 K

At height, x = 61.5 km the approximate temperature is :

y = 7.025 K/km ×  61.5 km + 18.28 K = 450.3 K

Thus, the approximate temperature at altitude 61.5 km is 450 K.

We experience fictitious forces due to: a. Rotation of a reference frame b. Inertial reference frames c. Translational motion d.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A fictional force (also called force of inertia, pseudo-force, or force of d'Alembert, 5), is a force that appears when describing a movement with respect to a non-inertial reference system, and that therefore it does not correspond to a genuine force in the context of the description of the movement that Newton's laws are enunciated for inertial reference systems.

The forces of inertia are, therefore, corrective terms to the real forces, which ensure that the formalism of Newton's laws can be applied unchanged to phenomena described with respect to a non-inertial reference system. The correct answer is A.

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

f=140\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the object on a horizontal surface, m=50\ kg
  • coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.3
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2
  • horizontal force on the object, F=140\ N

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

F_s=\mu_s.N

where:

N= normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)

F_s=147\ N

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

f=140\ N

I NEED MAJOR HELP ON THIS AS WELL PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The total distance is  130.2 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics. The clue to solve this problem is that the cart starts from rest, i.e. its initial speed is zero.

v_{f} =v_{o} +(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 3 [m/s²]

t = time = 8[s]

Vf = 0 + (3*8)

Vf = 24 [m/s]

With this velocity we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

24² = 0 + (2*3*x)

x = 576/(6)

x = 96 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

The other important clue to solve this problem in the second part is that the final velocity is now the initial velocity.

We must calculate the final velocity.

v_{f}= v_{i} -(a*t)

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 24 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 1.6 [m/s²]

t = time = 15 [s]

Vf = 24 - (1.6*15)

Vf = 21.6 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} -2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

21.6² = 24² - (2*1.6*x)

x = 109.44/(3.2)

x = 34.2 [m]

Note: The negative sign in the equations is because the car is desaccelerating, it means its velocity is decreasing.

Therefore the total distance is Xt = 34.2 + 96 = 130.2 [m].
