Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.

Imagine a 10kg block moving with a velocity of 20m/s to the left.

lara31 [8.8K]

Kinetic energy , KE= [1/2]m*v^2

m = 10 kg
v=20m/s

KE = [1/][(10kg)(20m/s)^2 = [1/2](10kg)(400m^2/s^2) = 2000 joule

Answer: 2000 joule

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to

Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

______ 4. Justin was creating a chart comparing the potential energy between charged particles and the potential energy of magne

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
