A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg

in their race to the bottom of the hill. In the absence of air resistance, what can you conclude about the outcome of the race?a) The 1-lb block wins the race.
b) The 100-lb block wins the race.
c) The two blocks end in a tie.
d) There’s not enough information to determine which block wins the race

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

What is the relationship between air pressure and air temperature?
LenKa [72]
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
ad-work [718]

Answer:

shown below

Explanation:

2 x 10⁷ as a number is 20,000,000

20,000,000 - 10 = 19,999,990

It went 19,999,990 m/h

in km/h:

19,999,990 / 1000 = 19,999.99 km/h

in km/s

19,999,990 / 3,600,000 = ~5.56 km/s

in m/s

19,999,990 / 3600 = ~5555.56 m/s
