Answer:

Obviously, it is static type of friction because it is between two static bodies i.e., feet and ground at a particular time instant dt.

1. No “Hold” is not a good synonym because it involves a static body. In “Push” both of the bodies are in some kind of motion a given action time.

2. Similarly, “Support” is also not a good synonym because it involves a static body as compulsory. By the way it can a synonym for “Hold”.

3. Propel, Impel, Thrust and Shove are some basic synonyms that can be applied.

Vikentia [17]

(a) 8927 mi/h

In order to calculate the average speed, we need to convert the time (t=5.0 y) into hours first. In 1 year, we have 365 days, each day consisting of 24 hours, so the time taken is:

$t=(5.0 y)(365 d/y)(24 h/d)=43,800 h$

The distance covered by the spacecraft is

$d=391 mil. mi = 391\cdot 10^6 mi$

Therefore, the average speed is just the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{391\cdot 10^6 mi}{43,800 h}=8,927 mi/h$

(b) 35 minutes (2097 seconds)

The transmitted signals (which is a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave) travels back to the Earth at the speed of light:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Since 1 miles = 1609 metres, the distance covered by the signal is

$d=391\cdot 10^6 mi \cdot (1609 m/mi)=6.29\cdot 10^{11} m$

So, the time taken by the signal will be

$t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{6.29\cdot 10^{11} m}{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}=2097 s$

And since 1 minute = 60 sec, the time taken is

$t=2097 s \cdot \frac{1}{60 s/min}\sim 35 min$

What graph would best represent acceleration as a function of mass when a constant force is applied?

Alex17521 [72]

The graphs of the acceleration as a function of mass and of the acceleration as a function of force are in attachment.

Explanation:

To answer both parts of the question, we refer to Newton's second law, which states that:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

To answer this part, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Therefore, we notice that if a constant force is applied, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object:

$a \propto \frac{1}{m}$

this means that if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases, and if the mass decreases, the acceleration increases.

In a graph of acceleration vs mass, the curve representing this relationship would be a hyperbole. The graph is shown as the first graph in the attached picture.

As before, we re-arrange the previous equation as follows:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Here we notice that if the object has a constant mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied on the object:

$a \propto F$

this means that when the force increases, the acceleration increases, and when the force decreases, the acceleration decreases.

In a graph of acceleration vs force, the curve representing this relationship would be a straight line, as shown in the second graph in the attached picture.
