Answer:

A. 2,121 years

Explanation:

This question can be looked at as a speed and distance question where 3.3 mm/yr is the speed and 7 m is the distance. So as the formula normally goes;

time = distance/speed

       = \frac{7 m}{3.3mm/yr} =\frac{7m}{0.0033m/yr} = 2121 years

Please note that it was important to change the rate of rising of the sea from mm/year to m/year because the distance was in metres

asambeis [7]

Answer:

4 N to the right

Explanation:

For the object in this problem, we have 2 forces acting on it:

- A force of 2 N, to the right

- A force of 2 N, to the right

The two forces are in line: this means that the two vectors can be simply added by calculating their algebraic sum.

If we take right as positive direction, the two forces can be written as

F1 = +2 N

F2 = +2 N

So, the net force will be

F=F_1+F_2=+2+2=+4 N

And the positive sign means the direction is to the right.

When you hit a .27 kg volleyball the contact time is 50 ms and the average force is 125 N. If you serve the volleyball (from res

(A) P(v) = 0.135v

(B) P(h) = 0.234v

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass of the ball, m = 0.27kg

Force, F = 125N

angle of projection, θ = 30°

Let v be the velocity of the ball.

A) vertical component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(vertical) = mvsinθ

P(V) = 0.27 X v X sin 30°

P(V) = 0.27 X v X 0.5

P(V) = 0.135v

B) horizontal component of the momentum of the volleyball

We know,

P(Horizontal) = mvcosθ

P(h) = 0.27 X v X cos 30°

P(h) = 0.27 X v X 0.866

P(h) = 0.234v

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

What affects sounds at their source? MENTION DOPPLER EFFECT AND VIBRATIONS
wel

Answer:

Doppler effect, the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source. This phenomenon is used in astronomical measurements, in Mössbauer effect studies, and in radar and modern navigation.
