Answer:

Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

A 50.0 kg crate is pulled 375 N of force applied to a rope. The crate slides without friction.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hi there!

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.

Recall that:

$\large\boxed{W = \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2}$

The initial kinetic energy is 0 J because the crate begins from rest, so we can plug in the given values for mass and final velocity:

$W = \frac{1}{2}(50)(5.61^2) = 786.8025 J$

Now, we can define work:

$\large\boxed{W = Fdcos\theta}}$

Now, plug in the values:

$786.8025 = Fdcos\theta\\\\786.8025 = (375)(3.07)cos\theta$

Solve for theta:

$cos\theta = .6834\\\theta = cos^{-1}(.6834) = \boxed{46.887^o}$

Supposing d(t) is known to have value D,

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The procedure is: solve the quadratic equation for $t$ .

Explanation:

This question assumes uniformly accelerated motion, for which the distance d a particle travels in time t is given by the general equation:

$d(t)=d_0+v_0t+at^2/2$

That is a quadratic equation, where the independent variable is the time $t$ .

Thus, the procedure that will find the time t at which the distance value is known to be D is to solve the quadratic equation for $t$ .

To solve it you start by changing the equation to the general form of the quadratic equations, rearranging the terms:

$(a/2)t^2+v_0t+(d_0-D)=0$

Some times that equation may be solved by factoring, and always it can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

$t=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Where:

$a=-a/2\\ \\ b=v_0\\ \\ c=d_0-D$

That may have two solutions. Some times one of the solution makes no physical sense (for example time cannot be negative) but others the two solutions are valid.

A 0.150-kg ball traveling horizontally on a frictionless surface approaches a very massive stone at 20.0 m/s perpendicular to wa

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change in momentum of the stone is 5.51kg*m/s.

Explanation:

the final kinetic energy = 1/2(0.15)v^2

1/2(0.15)v^2 = 70%*1/2(0.15)(20)^2

v^2 = 21/0.075

v^2 = 280

v = 16.73 m.s

if u is the initial speed and v is the final speed, then:

u = 20 m/s and v = - 16.73m/s

change in momentum = m(v-u)

= 0.15(- 16.73-20)

= -5.51 kg*m.s

Therefore, The magnitude of the change in momentum of the stone is 5.51kg*m/s.
