Two students who live on planet X. They want to estimate the circumference. The two students synchronize their watches before on

e student leaves on vacation 600 miles due west to their home. They notice a 3 degree difference in altitude of the sun at local noon. What is the circumference of the planet?

Answer:

72000 miles

Explanation:

If the distance between the students is 600 miles, and this implies in a 3 degree difference in the sun position, that means this 600 miles is related to 3 degrees of the circunference of the planet.

So, to find the whole circunference of the planet, that is, 360 degrees, we just need to use a rule of three:

3 degrees -> 600 miles

360 degrees -> x miles

3x = 600 * 360

x = 600 * 360 / 3 = 72000 miles

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Solving the first image question:

C ) The resulting force is defined by Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. That is, there must be a force that acts on a body to produce an acceleration. If there is no acceleration it is because there are no external forces or developed by the body. And if there is no acceleration the body moves at a constant speed, in a straight line, so the response is C.

For the second image, we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

W = weight [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]

Now we have

m = 50 [kg]

ge = Earth gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]

gp = Distant planet gravity acceleration = 4 [m/s²]

We = ge*m

We = 10*50 = 500 [N]

Wp =gp*m

Wp = 4*50 = 200 [N]

Therefore the answer is D

For the third image, The mass is always going to be preserved, regardless of where the body or object is in space, its weight is the only one that changes since the gravitational force is modified. That is, the mass on the moon and on Earth will always be the same.

m = 70 [kg]

First, we must calculate the acceleration, by means of the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 20 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (because stars from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 4 [s]

20 = 0 + a*4

20 = 4*a

a = 5 [m/s²]

Now using Newton's second law which tells us that the total force acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 2 [kg]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s²]

F = 2*5

F = 10 [N]

The body of Figure D, since a total force of 25 [N] to the left acts on it, in the rest of cases the force is zero or much less than 25 [N]

50 + 40 - 35 - 30 = F

F = 25 [N]

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
Ronch [10]
We Know, K.E. = 1/2 × m × v²
From the expression, we can conclude that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. So, as mass will increase, Kinetic energy will also increase.

In short, Your Correct answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Mamont248 [21]

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
