Answer:Explained

Explanation:

The scientist of that time could not believe that the electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through so they made a space filling substance necessary to travel of electromagnetic waves called aether.

But after the special 0 theory of relativity this idea is discarded and fell out.

Answer: 25N

method: total force in the right hand direction is 100N and total force in the left hand direction is 125N. To get the net force, we add forces if they are in the same direction and substract if they are in opposite directions. since 100N and 125N are in opposite directions, we substract the larger value from the smaller value. Then we get 25N in the left hand direction as the final answer.

A skier is skiing down a slope on the mountain.

The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.

As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.

describe the motion of objects that are viewed from your reference frame both inside and outside while you travel inside a movin
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The objects outside the reference frame aren't moving. It appears this way since the vehicle you are inside is moving, but unless the objects are people, animals, or other vehicles, the objects aren't moving.

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and
Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

1atm = 2116lb/ft^2

The ideal gas equation said us that,

PV = nRT

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

R = Gas ideal constant

T = Temperature

n = Amount of substance (at this case the mass)

Then

\frac{n}{V} = \frac{P}{RT}

The amount of substance per volume is the density, then

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

Replacing with our values,

\rho = \frac{5.6*2116}{1716*850}

\rho = 0.00812slug/ft^3

Finally the specific volume would be

v = \frac{1}{\rho}

v = 123ft^3/slug

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0895 m fr
Igoryamba

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.15 kg

Distance = 0.0895 m

Amplitude = 0.0235 m

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using newton's second law

F= mg

Where, f = restoring force

kx=mg

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.15\times9.8}{0.0895}

k=235.41\ N/m

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Here, v = A\omega

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times(A\omega)^2

Here, \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times A^2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times235.41\times(0.0235)^2

K.E=0.06500\ J

Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.
