A ball is thrown vertically down from the edge of a cliff with a speed of 4 m/s,

1 answer:

3 0

By using the equation speed = distance/time we can solve for distance. The speed is 4 m/s and the time is 12 seconds. We need to rearrange the equation to Speed * Time = distance. 4(12) = 48; 48 = distance. The cliff is 48 meters high.

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.

zhenek [66]

Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

An automobile to be transported by ship is raised 8.2m above the dock. If it's GPE is 63,405 J what is the car's mass?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

m = 788.2[kg]

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration by height. And it can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$E_{pot}=m*g*h$

where:

Epot = potential energy = 63405 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s²]

h = elevation = 8.2[m]

Now replacing:

$63405=m*9.81*8.2\\m=788.2[kg]$

Stars form from clouds of gas and dust. As a protostar gravitationally contracts within its parent cloud, "conservation of angul

vredina [299]

Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

L₀ = I w₀

Final

$L_{f}$ = $I_{f}$ $w_{f}$

L₀ = $L_{f}$

I w₀ = $I_{f}$ $w_{f}$

$w_{f}$ = I / $I_{f}$ w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above
