An Astronaut on the Moon drops a rock straight downward from a height of 1.25 meters. If the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

is 1.62 meters per second squared, what is the speed of the rock just before it lands?

Answer:

Since the astronaut drops the rock, the initial velocity of the rock is 0 m/s

<u>We are given:</u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = v m/s

acceleration (a) = 1.62 m/s/s

height (h) = 1.25 m

<u>Solving for v:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v²-u² = 2ah

replacing the variables

v² - (0)² =2 (1.62)(1.25)

v² = 1.62 * 2.5

v² = 4 (approx)

v = √4

v = 2 m/s

The speed of the rock just before it lands is 2 m/s

Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?.
natita [175]

For a merry go round with a radius of R=1.8 m and moment of inertia I=184 kg-m^2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of w=1.48 rad/s   is mathematically given as

F= 618.9 N

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the angular speed  is mathematically given as

w = v/R

Therefore

w= 4.7/1.8

w= 2.611 rad/s

Where total momentum

Tm= 642.96 + 272.32

Tm= 915.28

and total inertia

Ti= 184 + 246.24

Ti= 430.24

In conclusion, centripetal force

F= mrw^2

F = m*R*w2^2

F = 76*1.8*2.127^2

F= 618.9 N

Electrical energy in motion is what type of energy ?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

Electrical energy is a type of kinetic energy caused by moving electric charges. The amount of energy depends on the speed of the charges – the faster they move, the more electrical energy they carry.

Which description matches up correctly with each type of particle? Alpha - no mass and no charge; beta - mass of 4 and charge of
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The closest answer is
Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of +2; beta - no mass and charge of -1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per
Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr
