Explanation:
Power = work / time
Power = force × distance / time
P = (650 kg) (10 m/s²) (20 m) / (15 s)
P = 8667 W
Answer:
A.Gravity acts to pull the object down
D.The object’s inertia carries it forward.
E.The path of the object is curved.
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant horizontal speed
- A vertical motion with constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s^2 downward (acceleration due to gravity), due to the presence of the force of gravity, so the vertical velocity changes (increases in the downward direction)
As a result, the combined motion of the projectile has a curved trajectory (parabolic, more specifically). So the following options are correct:
A.Gravity acts to pull the object down --> gravity acts along the vertical direction
D.The object’s inertia carries it forward. --> there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal motion continues with constant speed
E.The path of the object is curved
Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.
Hope that helps!
