After an avalanche, a huge block of stone slid down a mountain and landed in the middle of a road. People in the nearby town had

a very difficult time moving it out of the road. The block of stone is difficult to move because A. it has a high amount of momentum. B. has balanced forces acting on it. C. it has a high amount of inertia. D. has unbalanced forces acting on it.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest tends to be at rest until there is an external force applied to it.

In the given question, the rock block that fell on the road due to the avalanche contains high mass and high inertia. Due to which the block was not able to move aside. <u>The amount of energy required to push the block aside should be more than the mass of the block</u>. So the block has high inertia value and it will need more force than its inertia value in order to move the block of rock towards the side of the road.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Ghella [55]

Completing the square gives the answer right away.

-16t^2+64t+23=-16(t^2-4t)+23=-16(t^2-4t+4-4)+23=-16((t-2)^2-4)+23

\implies h(t)=-16(t-2)^2+87

which indicates a maximum height of 87 when t=2.

A proton orbits a long charged wire, making 1.80 ×106 revolutions per second. The radius of the orbit is 1.20 cm What is the wir
Fantom [35]

Answer:

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

Explanation:

given data

revolutions per second = 1.80 × 10^{6}

radius = 1.20 cm

solution

we know that when proton to revolve around charge wire then centripetal force is require to be in orbit of radius around provide by electric force

so

- q × E = m × w² × r     ..................1

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}r} q =  m × w² × r   ............2

and w = \frac{2*\pi}{T}  

w = \frac{d\theta }{dt}

w = 1.80 × 10^{6} × \frac{2*\pi}{1}

w = 11304000 rad/s

so here from equation 2

- 9 × 10^{9}  × \frac{2*linear\ charge\ density}{0.012} 1.80 × 10^{6} =  1.672 × 10^{-27} × 11304000² × 0.0120  

linear charge density = -9.495 × 10^{-34} C/m

Answer:

D) 735 J(oules)

Explanation:

Work is defined as force * distance

Force is defined as mass * acceleration

Given a mass of 15 kg and a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² since the box is being lifted up, the force being applied to the box is 15 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 147 N

Since the distance is 5 meters, the work done is 147 N * 5 m = 735 N/m = 735 J, making D the correct answer.

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man
Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

F=mg

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.
