Answer:

1039.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Height, H = 3 x 10⁵m

acceleration of gravity on lo, a = 1.80 m/s² toward moon's surface i.e -1.80m/s² with respect to the earth

Now, at its highest point the velocity i.e the final velocity 'v' = 0m/s.

Now using the Newton's equation of motion

v² - u² =2as

where,

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

now,

substituting the values we get

0²-u² = 2 × (-1.80) × 3 x 10⁵

or

u=\sqrt{10.8\times 10^5}=1039.23m/s

Hence, the <u>initial velocity</u><u> with which the material is ejected is </u><u>1039.23 m/s</u>

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.​
Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

Marina is staring at an optical illusion where he sees a version of the American flag that is colored green, yellow, and black.
k0ka [10]

Explanation:

The reason why Marina sees the colour red, white and blue or the original colour of the American flag is that because of a phenomenon known as Afterimage. The retina in our eyes have mainly three receptors that are colour sensitive known as cones. These receptors can perceive the colour green, red and blue. Now when we look or stare at a particular colour for a long time, what happen is that our retina becomes tired and they ignore the colours that stared at. And now they work to form other colours at the retina just like the way when we produce other colour from the primary colour.

If the red receptor gets exhausted we will see the colour red. Likewise when we see the colour orange when we stare at the colour blue.

This explains the optical illusion of the American flag.

A car with a mass of 1380 Kg is traveling at 23 m/s to the north. A truck with a mass of 1625 Kg is traveling at 26 m/s to the s
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o} (1)

After the collision:

p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f} (2)

Where:

m=1380 kg is the mass of the car

V_{o}=23 m/s is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

M=1625 kg is the mass of the truck

U_{o}=-26 m/s is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

V_{f} is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

p_{i}=p_{f} (3)

mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg} (6)

Finally:

V_{f}=-3.49 m/s The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supp
IRINA_888 [86]

Complete question :

NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?

Answer:

601000 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²

Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²

Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :

Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:

(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;

(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01

Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :

6.01 * (1 × 10^5)

6.01 × 10^5

= 601000 N
