Answer:

5 billion years

Explanation:

A star like the Sun is called a main sequence star. It is considered as young age star. Sun is a medium sized star and its mass determines how long it can continue in its present form.

Its heat and light are a result of the thermonuclear fusion reactions that occur in its core. The proton cycle and carbon cycle are responsible for generating the immense energy which is released in the form of heat and light. The amount of nuclear fuel ( hydrogen helium) present in the sun indicate that it can continue glowing at this state for another 5 or 5.5 billion years more. Sun formed abut 4.6 or 5 billion years ago, as shown from the calculations.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false

Mariana [72]

False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?

timurjin [86]

You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point

seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}$

$R = 0.54 m$

so the coordinates of the center will be

$(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))$

$(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)$

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)

Starting from rest, a 68.0 kg woman jumps down to the floor from a height of 0.790 m, and immediately jumps back up into the air

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a) I = 0 N s, b) v = -3.935 m / s, c) vf = 3.935 m / s, d) y = 0.790 m

Explanation:

a) Let's start by defining the upward direction (+ y) as positive. For this part of the exercise we must use the momentum relationship

I = ∫F dt

The force of the woman on the floor is given and by action and rection the floor exerts on the woman a force of equal magnitude, but opposite direction

I = ∫ (9200 t - 11500 t2) dt

I = 9200 t² / 2 - 11500 t³ / 3

We evaluate between the lower limit t = 0 and upper limit t = 0.800 s

I = 9200 (0.8² -0) - 11500 (0.8³ -0)

I = 5888 -5888

I = 0 N s

Directed from the floor to the woman

b) For this part we use kinematics

v² = v₀² - 2g y

v = √ (0 - 2 9.8 (-0.79))

v = 3.935 m / s

The speed direction is down

c) for this we use the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement

I = ΔP

I = m vf - m v₀

vf = (I + m v₀) / m

This is the impulse of women on the floor

vf = ( 0 + 68 (3.935)) / 68

vf = 3.935 m / s

d) let's use kinematics

v₂ = v₀² - 2gy

0 = v₀² - 2gy

y = v₀² / 2g

y = 3.935²/2 9.8

y = 0.790 m
