An object is held at an unknown height above Earth’s surface, where the acceleration due to gravity of the object is considered

to be constant. After the object is released from rest, a student must determine the object’s speed the instant the object makes contact with the ground.
Which of the following equations could the student use to determine the object’s speed by using the fewest measuring tools if the student does not have access to a motion sensor? Select two answers.

A) vₓ =vₓ₀ +aₓ t
B) x= x₀ + vₓ₀ t + (1/2)aₓt²
C) v²x=v² x₀+2aₓ (x−x₀ )
D) v¯=(x−x₀) /t

Answer:

Options A and B.

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration, initial height, intial speed and time are required to determine final speed. The option D is incorrect, since speed varies in time. Option C is dimentionally wrong.

The correct strategy is calculating the initial height from option B. Later, substituting time in equation A to derive an expression of the final velocity in terms of position. Hence, the required equations are options A and B.

The Moon's center is 3.9x10 m from Earth's center. The Moon is 1.5x10^8 km from the Sun's center. If the mass of the Moon is 7.3
nika2105 [10]

Explanation:

It is given that The Moon's center is 3.9x10⁸ m from Earth's center. The moon 1.5x10⁸ km from the Sun's center. We need to find the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon.

The gravitational force is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_em_m}{r^2}

It means F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}

r₁ = 3.9x10⁸ km

r₂= 1.5x10⁸ km

So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^8}{3.9\times 10^8}\\\\\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{5}{13}

Hence, the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon is 5:13.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it
TiliK225 [7]
Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.

What are the effects of gravity on earth?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Without it, we could not survive on Earth. Earth orbits the sun due to the gravity of the sun, which maintains us at a convenient distance from it to enjoy the sun's warmth and light. It keeps the air we need to breathe and our atmosphere in place. Our planet is held together by gravity.

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance
const2013 [10]

<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as  phase change or change of state.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.
