The horizontal velocity D. remains constant throughout the fall.

Explanation:

The motion of the rock off the cliff is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

  • A horizontal uniform motion. Since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (we consider the air drag to be negligible), the acceleration along this direction is zero, so the horizontal component of the velocity is constant
  • An accelerated motion with constant acceleration. There is one force acting along the vertical direction, the force of gravity, which is constant so the rock experiences a constant acceleration (downward) of magnitude g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity). This means that the vertical component of the velocity keeps changing.

Here in this problem, we are only interested in the horizontal velocity. We said that the horizontal acceleration of the rock is zero: therefore, the horizontal velocity of the rock remains constant during the fall. (if the air drag was not negligible, then it would affect the horizontal velocity, which would decrease as the rock falls).

Relationship between frequency, amplitude, wavelength and energy in a transverse wave.
liq [111]
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)

There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.

Where does friction oppose motion in a roller coaster car
Ksju [112]
In roller coasters, friction is a force that opposes motion and significantly slows the cars as they move on the track.<span> While it is easy to believe that friction is bad for the ride, it is one of the forces engineers consider in ensuring passengers have a safe ride</span>

During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational f
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

F= 2.3733 x10^{20} N

Explanation:

Let's define the variables to proceed with the operations,

So,

The masses

M_ {sun} = 1.99 * 10^{30} Kg

M_ {Earth} = 5.98 * 10 ^ {24} Kg

M_ {Moon} = 7.36 * 10 ^{22} Kg

Average distances

\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} = 1.5 * 10 ^ {11} m

\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon} = 3.84 * 10 ^ 8m

Gravitational constant

G = 6.67 * 10^ {-11} \frac {Nm ^ 2} {kg ^ 2}

The formula of the Gravitational Force between the Moon and the Earth would be,

F = \frac {GM_ {Earth} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}

F= \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(5.98*10^{24}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(3.84*10^8m)^2}

F = 1.9908 * 10 ^{20} N

This force is in the direction of the earth.

We perform the same process but now between the Sun and the Moon, like this,

F_2 = \frac {GM_ {Sun} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} - \bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}

F_2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(1.99*10^{30}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(1.5*10^{11}m-3.84*10^8m)^2}

F_2 = 4.3641*10^-{ 20} N

This force is in the direction of the Sun

The net force must be

F_ {net} = F_2-F

F_ {net} = 2.3733*10^{20} N

This in the direction of the Sun.
