<span>If this were to happen, they would slowly spiral to the sun and continue to orbit the sun, thus moving in straight lines, tangent to their orbits, and slowly spiral away from the sun. </span>

A force of 70 N is applied to a 28 kg rock causing it to slow down from 25 m/s to 15 m/s, a change in velocity of 10 m/s. How lo

maksim [4K]

Answer: 4 s

Explanation:

Given

The applied force is 70 N

mass of the rock is 28 kg

initial velocity $u=25\ m/s$

final velocity $v=15\ m/s$

Deceleration provided by force is

$a=-\dfrac{70}{28}=-2.5\ m/s^2$

using the equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 15=25-2.5t\\\Rightarrow 2.5t=10\\\Rightarrow t=4\ s$

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) frombehind while going 35 m/s. Immediately after the collision, car Bmove

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.

Explanation:

As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.

By definition, the kinetic energy is:

k = 0.5*mV^2

Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:

$ki=0.5*maVa_{i}^2+0.5*mbVb_{i}^2$

$kf=0.5*maVa_{f}^2+0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

Since the masses are equals:

$m=ma=mb$

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:

$ki=0.5*mVa_{i}^2$

$ki=0.5*m(35 m/s)^2=612.5m^2/s^2*m$

$kf=0.5*mbVb_{f}^2$

$kf=0.5*m(25 m/s)^2=312.5m^2/s^2*m$

The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:

$kl=ki-kf$

$kl = 612.5m^2/s^2*m-312.5 m^2/s^2*m=300 m^2/s^2*m$

Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:

$kl/ki = 300 m^2/s^2 * m / 612.5 m^2/s^2 * m$

$kl/ki = 24/49=0.49$

At a height of ten meters above the surface of a freshwater lake, a sound pulse is generated. The echo from the bottom of the la

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in air at 20 degree = 343 m/s

Velocity of sound in water at 20 degree = 1470 m/s

Time taken in to and fro movement in air

=( 2 x 10) / 343 = 0.0583 s

Rest of the time is

.171 - .0583 = .1127 s

This time is taken to cover distance in water. If d be the depth of lake

2d / velocity = time taken

2 d / 1470 = .1127

d = 82.83 m

Increasing the amount of current that flows through a wire ______ the strength of an electromagnet

Anestetic [448]

Electromagnet is in form of solenoid

and the magnetic field due to solenoid is given as

$B = \mu_0 n i$

here

i = current in the loop

so when we increase the current in electromagnet the magnetic field of the solenoid will increase

this will increase the strength of the electromagnet

so the answer would be

<em>INCREASE</em>
