Answer:

a: after 1 seconds it will have fallen 0.2452

after 2 seconds it will have fallen 0.981

after 3 seconds it will have fallen 2.2072

after 4 seconds it will have fallen 3.924

Explanation:

the formula for acceleration due to gravity is (ignoring friction I think)

g = G*M/R^2

earths gravitational constant is about 9.807

g = 9.807*M/R^2

The average weight of a brick is 5 pounds and I'm going to say it's 10 feet off the ground.

g = 9.807*5/10^2. g = 0.4905 so every second the brick will go 0.4905 fps faster. (fps means feet per second.)

after 1 seconds it will have fallen 0.2452

after 2 seconds it will have fallen 0.981

after 3 seconds it will have fallen 2.2072

after 4 seconds it will have fallen 3.924

Answer:

1: an object will stay still until acted on by another force

2: acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the force applied

3: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

A springboard diver intending to do a somersault brings her knees and arms closer to her body during the dive. What effect does

Hoochie [10]

During the diving when a diver jumps off from platform he brings her knees and arms closer to the body

This is because when diver is in air he don't have any torque about his center of mass which shows that angular momentum of his body will remain constant during his motion in air

Now we can say product of his moment of inertia and his angular speed will remain constant always

So here if we decrease the moment of inertia of the body during our motion then angular speed will increase so that product will remain constant

and this is what the diver use during his diving

so correct answer will be

<u><em>It decreases her moment of inertia.</em></u>

You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weigh the sample and find that its weight is 27.2

garri49 [273]

Answer:

c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Specific heat is c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Explanation:

In order ti find the specific heat, we will proceed as follow:

Formula we are going to use is:

$Q=m*c*\Delta T$

Where:

Q is the heat energy added

m is the mass of sample

c is the specific heat

$\Delta T$ is the temperature Rise.

First we will find the mass:

Weight=m*g (g is gravitational acceleration=9.8 m/s^2)

$m=\frac{weight}{g} \\m=\frac{27.2}{9.8} \\m=2.7755 \ kg$

Rearranging above formula:

$c=\frac{Q}{m* \Delta T}$

$c=\frac{1.45*10^4}{2.7755*16}$

c=326.5177 J/kg.K

Specific heat is c=326.5177 J/kg.K

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reach

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:489 Revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Angular deceleration $(\alpha ) =1.5rad/s^2$

Given wheel angular velocity =96 rad/s when machine is turned off

time taken by machine to reach zero angular velocity

$0=\omega _0+(\alpha)t$

0=96+(-1.5)t

t=64 sec

angular displacement is given by

$\theta =\omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$\theta =96(64)-\frac{1}{2}(-1.5)(64^2)=3072 degree$

For revolutions = $\frac{3072}{2\cdot \pi}=488.86 \approx 489 revolution during Slowdown$

What local group of galaxies is the Milky Way part of?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The local group of galaxies which the Milky Way belong to is the Virgo Supercluster. C

<h3>What are Virgo Supercluster?</h3>

The Virgo Supercluster as known as the Local Supercluster is a mass concentration of galaxies that contains the Virgo Cluster and Local Group which in turn contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, as a host as others galaxies.

Therefore, the local group of galaxies which the Milky Way belong to is the Virgo Supercluster.
