In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of energy

$KE_i+PE_i=KE_f+PE_f$

$Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)$

from the law of conservation of the linear momentum

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

Therefore,

$Gm_1m_2[\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]=\frac{1}{2} (m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)$

$=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+m_2[\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2} ]^2]\\\\=\frac{1}{2} [m_1v_1^2+\frac{m_1^2v_1^2}{m_2} ]\\\\=\frac{m_1v_1^2}{2} [\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_2} ]$

$v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]$

Substitute the values in the above result

$v_1^2=[\frac{2Gm_2^2}{m_1+m_2} ][\frac{1}{r_f} -\frac{1}{r_1} ]$

$=[\frac{2(6.67\times 10^-^1^1)(107)^2}{27+107} ][\frac{1}{26} -\frac{1}{41}] \\\\=1.6038\times 10^-^1^0\\\\v_1=\sqrt{1.6038\times 106-^1^0} \\\\=1.2664 \times 10^-^5m/s$

B) the speed of the sphere with mass 107.0 kg is

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$=[\frac{27}{107} ](1.2664 \times 10^-^5)\\\\=3.195\times 10^-^6m/s$

C) the magnitude of the relative velocity with which one sphere is

$v_r=v_1+v_2\\\\=1.2664\times 10^-^5+3.195\times10^-^6\\\\=15.859\times10^-^6m/s$

D) the distance of the centre is proportional to the acceleration

$\frac{x_1}{x_2} =\frac{a_1}{a_2} \\\\=\frac{m_2}{m_1} \\\\=3.962$

Thus,

$x_1=3.962x_2$

and

$x_2=0.252x_1$

When the sphere make contact with eachother

Therefore,

$x_1+x_2+2r=41\\x_1+0,252x_1+2r=41\\1.252x_1+2r=41\\x_1=32.747-1.597r$

And

$x_1+x_2+2r=41\\3.962x_2+x_2+2r+41\\4.962x_2+2r=41\\x_2=8.262-0.403r$

The point of contact of the sphere is

$32.747-1.597r=8.262-0.403r\\\\r=\frac{24.485}{1.194} \\\\=20.506m$

A parachutist falls 50.0 m without friction. When the parachute opens, he slows down at a rate of 67 m/s*2. If he reaches the gr

KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s$

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s$

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s$

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2$

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at$

Since the height are equal

$\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0$

$t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45$

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2$

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²

Select the correct statement about osmolarity. a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution. b) The contents

8090 [49]

Answer:

a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure, per liter of solution, of solution. That is, the measurement of the solute concentration. The prefix "osmo-" indicates the possible variation of the osmotic pressure in the cells, which will occur when the solution is introduced into the body.

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.The inputs of photosynthesis are light energy, and matter in the form of water absorbed through the roots, and carbon dioxide absorbed through the leaves.The main outputs are oxygen, which is released into the air, and glucose sugar (chemical energy), which is used to keep the plant alive.
