A rock is thrown straight upward off the edge of a balcony that is 5 m above the ground. The rock rises 10 m, then falls all the

way down to the ground below the balcony. What is the rock's displacement?

Displacement = distance and direction from the start-point
to the end-point, regardless of the route followed on the way.

From the throw to the 'plop', the displacement is 5 meters down.

A force of F = (2.00ˆi + 3.00ˆj) N is applied to an object that is pivoted about a fixed axle aligned along the z coordinate axi
Vladimir [108]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied to object, F=(2i+3j)\ N

Position, r=(4i+5j)\ m  

(b) The cross product of force and position vector is used to find the net torque about the z axis. It is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=(2i+3j) \times (4i+5j)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-2\end{pmatrix}

or

\tau=(-2k)\ N-m

The torque is acting in -z axis.

(a) The magnitude of torque is given by :

|\tau|=\sqrt{(-2)^2}

|\tau|=2\ N-m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz
Lilit [14]
The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.

While participating in a blood drive at school, Keona learns that blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL. She donates one pint of bloo
Sergio [31]

Answer:

m≈501.57 g

Explanation:

The density formula is:

d=m/v

Let’s rearrange the formula for m. m is being divided by v. The inverse of division is multiplication, so multiply both aides by v.

d*v= m/v*v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiply the density and the volume.

m=d*v

The density is 1.06 grams per milliliter and the volume is 473.176 milliliters.

d= 1.06 g/mL

v= 473.176 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= 1.06 g/mL * 473.176 mL

Multiply. When multiplying, the mL will cancel out.

m= 501.56656 g

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7 in the hundredth place.

m ≈501.57 g

The mass is about 501.57 grams.
