Because frame of reference decides are your forces positive or negative. It is important for the direction of motion.

An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.

Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12

Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12

Write the equation of motion gover the centre of mass

Nataly [62]

Answer:

write the equation of motion go over the centre of mass

Explanation:

the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the balance point) is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero. This is the point to which a force may be applied to cause a linear acceleration without an angular acceleration.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

$E_{initial} = E_{final}$

$PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}$

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

$KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}$

$KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700$

$KE_{final} = 3600MJ$

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ

Leah watches a toy car move across a table at a constant speed. The car moves across the table in one direction and falls off th

Sedbober [7]

In order to change the direction and speed, a net external force is required. A net external force is an unbalanced force which will change the direction and gives the speed in the opposite direction. Hence, its an unbalanced force from the joey that pushes the car in the other direction due to which it the car starts to move back to Leah. Without, unbalanced force there is not change in the direction of the car's motion.

Hence, option B is correct.

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bu

Irina18 [472]

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

$tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}$
