A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Speed = \frac{40}{2}$

Speed = 20m/s.

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North.

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh

guapka [62]

Answer:

This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.

Explanation:

The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically, w = mg

where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity

Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²

where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.

Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it

W = F

mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.

It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.

5. Find the mass of a car that is traveling at a velocity of 35 m/s West.

sattari [20]

Answer:

m = 9795.9 kg

Explanation:

v = 35 m/s

KE = 6,000,000 J

Plug those values into the following equation:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m

---> m = 9795.9 kg

Which machine can create images of atoms?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Explanation:

The answer is, of course, the greatest Star Trek fan art imaginable: images literally built out of individual atoms. The images are the work of IBM scientists who created the unique artwork with a two-ton machine called the Scanning Tunneling Microscope that moves single atoms across a tiny piece of copper.

A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

$x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg$

Since the frictional force $f_k$ is equal to $f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg$ , then we have that the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g$

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

$a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}$

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

$t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}$

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

$t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s$

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

$v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}$

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

$x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm$

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.
