What is the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/sec

1 answer:

5 0

To find this we should use the equation Ek=1/2mv^2 where Ek is the kinetic energy, m is the mass and v is the velocity. So by this Ek=1/2*1*30^2 which then makes Ek=450 joules

What force is required to accelerate to 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s?

g100num [7]

Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?

Mass = 10 kg

Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2

Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

$F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.
