1 answer:

3 0

Nitrogen is essential to life. It is a component of all proteins and can be found in all living organisms. Nitrogen in the atmosphere. <span>The molecules of nitrogen in the atmosphere can become usable for living things when they are broken apart during lightning strikes or fires, by certain types of bacteria, or by bacteria associated with bean plants.</span>

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth's surface of 3.40 times the Earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

Explanation:

g = $\frac{GM}{h^{2} }$

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ $kg^{-2}$ ), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x $10^{24}$ kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

= 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

= 21661400 m

Thus,

g = $\frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24} }{(21661400)^{2} }$

= $\frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }$

= 0.84944

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 m $s^{-2}$ .

A bullet is fired horizontally from a handgun at a target 100.0 m away. If the initial speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Target distance = 100.0 m

Speed of bullet = 300 m/s

We need to calculate the total time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{100.0}{300}$

$t=0.33\ sec$

Now, consider vertical motion of bullet.

Initial velocity of bullet in vertical direction = 0 m/s

We need to calculate the vertically distance

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(0.33)^2$

$s=0.53\ m$

Hence, The distance is 0.53 m.

Sharon the ant (Aaron’s sister) sits at the edge of a turntable of radius R that is spinning with period T. As she makes one-hal

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

$a = \omega^2 R$

where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $R$ is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Substitute into the previous formula.

$a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R$

$a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}$

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity

netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

a car traveling at 30m/s notices an accident about 65m up the road. The car's brakes are capable of decelerating at a rate of 6.
