The moon revolves around earth at a fairly constant speed.Is the moon accelerating

1 answer:

7 0

<span>If the moon changes direction, it's because it is orbiting around the earth, and the moon keeps a constant speed. And when the moon turns, it accelerates due to velocity. So yes, the moon accelerates. </span>

Answer:

The speed of the 8-ball is 2.125 m/s after the collision.

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>

The total momentum of a system of masses is conserved unless an external force is applied. The momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is calculated as follows:

P=mv

If we have a system of masses, then the total momentum is the sum of all the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n$

When a collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n$

In a system of two masses, the law of conservation of linear momentum is simplified to:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

The m1=0.16 Kg 8-ball is initially at rest v1=0. It is hit by an m2=0.17 Kg cue ball that was moving at v2=2 m/s.

After the collision, the cue ball comes to rest v2'=0. It's required to find the final speed v1' after the collision.

The above equation is solved for v1':

$\displaystyle v'_1=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2-m_2v'_2}{m_1}$

$\displaystyle v'_1=\frac{0.16*0+0.17*2-0.17*0}{0.16}$

$\displaystyle v'_1=\frac{0.34}{0.16}$

$v'_1=2.125\ m/s$

The speed of the 8-ball is 2.125 m/s after the collision.

How does a distance-time graph show you which direction the runner is moving? Use your own words and science vocabulary.

Dmitry [639]

In a distance time graph, when the x and y values are positive (in first quadrant), the runner is moving forward.

While, if the distance value ( in the y axis) is negative, the runner is moving backwards ( towards the start) .

Hope it helps :)

A force Fof 40000 lbf is applied to rod AC the negative Y-direction. The rod is 1000 inches tall. A Force P of 25 lbf is applied

erastova [34]

Answer:

The answer is "effective stress at point B is 7382 ksi "

Explanation:

Calculating the value of Compressive Axial Stress:

$\to \sigma y =\frac{F}{A} = \frac{4 F}{( p d ^2 )} = \frac{(4 x ( - 40000 \ lbf))}{[ p \times (1 \ in)^2 ]} = - 50.9 \ ksi \\$

Calculating Shear Transverse:

$\to \frac{4v}{ 3 A} = \frac{4 (75 \ lbf + 25 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}}$

$= \frac{4 (100 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}} \\\\ = \frac{400 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}} \\\\= 0.17 \ ksi$

$= R \times 200 \ in - P \times 100 \ in = 12500 \ lbf \times\ in$

$\to \sigma' =[ s y^2 +3( t \times y^2 + t yz^2 )] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\$

$= [ (-50.9)^2 +3((63.7)^2 +(0.17)^2 )] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=[2590.81+ 3(4057.69)+0.0289]\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=[2590.81+12,173.07+0.0289] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=14763.9089\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\ = 7381.95445 \ ksi\\\\ = 7382 \ ksi$

Answer:

C Quincy

Explanation:

Both Frieda and Vladimir are too young to be making their own decisions. Lucinda has limited freedom due to having two children, while Quincy is just now becoming an adult and has his whole life still ahead of him. Therefore, Quincy has the most freedom to make their own lifestyle decisions.

I hope this helps!
