The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are called the "GAS giants".

The rocky planets are called "rocky" because they're made of ROCK.

Does this help guide you to the correct choice ?

Here's another hint: The MOST dense planet in our solar system, the one we call "Earth", is one of the 'rocky planets'.

A 3.9 kg ball traveling towards a soccer player at a velocity of -3.5 m/s rebounds off the soccer player's foot at a velocity of

Tresset [83]

Answer: 2.92 s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of ball is $m=3.9\ kg$

The initial velocity of the ball is $u=-3.5\ m/s$

Velocity after the rebound is $v=15.9\ m/s$

Force during the contact is $F=25.9\ N$

We know, change in momentum is Impulse

$\Rightarrow F\cdot \Delta t=m(\Delta v)$

$\Rightarrow 25.9\cdot \Delta t=3.9(15.9-(-3.5))\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\dfrac{3.9\times 19.4}{25.9}=2.92\ s$

Thus, the force is applied for 2.92 s

Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip direction are at angles of 60 and 3

Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle by the normal to the slip α= 60°

Angle by the slip direction with the tensile axis β= 35°

Shear stress = 6.2 MPa

Applied stress = 12 MPa

We need to calculate the shear stress applied at the slip plane

Using formula of shear stress

$\tau=\sigma\cos\alpha\cos\beta$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=12\cos60\times\cos35$

$\tau=4.91\ MPa$

Since, the shear stress applied at the slip plane is less than the critical resolved shear stress

So, The crystal will not yield.

Now, We need to calculate the applied stress necessary for the crystal to yield

Using formula of stress

$\sigma=\dfrac{\tau_{c}}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sigma=\dfrac{6.2}{\cos60\cos35}$

$\sigma=15.13\ MPa$

Hence, This is the required solution.

If a baseball pitch leaves the pitcher's hand horizontally at a velocity of 150 km/h by what percent will the pull of gravity ch

Slav-nsk [51]

0.52% First, let's convert that speed into m/s. 150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed. 18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds. 0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball. sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s Finally, let's see what the difference is (41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959% Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%

In pairs figure-skating competition, a 65-kg man and his 45-kg female partner stand facing each other both at rest on the ice. I

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The final velocity of her partner is approximately -1.04 m/s or 1.04 m/s in the opposite direction to her direction of motion

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the man, m₁ = 65 kg

The mass of the woman, m₂ = 45 kg

Taking the relative initial velocity of the man and the woman as 0 m/s, we have;

The initial velocity of the man, v₁₁ = 0 m/s
