Well, if the skydiver is at constant velocity, than there’s no acceleration, as stated by Newton’s first law. Thus the total net force would equate to 0. In order to make this statement true, the answer would have to be exactly 600 N.

A descent vehicle landing on the moon has a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 36.5 m/s. At the same time, it h
sammy [17]

Answer:

66.26 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity, Vx = 55.3 m/s

Vertical velocity, Vy = 36.5 m/s

The value of the resultant velocity is given by the vector sum of the two velocities which are acting at 90°.

V=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y^{2}}}

V=\sqrt{55.3^{2}+36.5^{2}}}

V = 66.26 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the vehicle is 66.26 m/s along its descent path.

A particle has a charge of +1.5 µC and moves from point A to point B, a distance of 0.15 m. The particle experiences a constant
kirill [66]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the change in electric potential energy is equal to the work done by electric field

W = EPE_A - EPE_B

W = 9.0 \times 10^{-4} J

now from the equation of work done we know that

W = F.d

(9.0 \times 10^{-4}) = F(0.15)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

As we know the relation between electrostatic force and electric field given as

F = qE

(6 \times 10^{-3}) = 1.5 \times 10^{-6} E

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion

Prove the correctness of this equation s=vt + 1/2at ​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The formula is dimensionally correct.

Explanation:

Given

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Required

Prove its correctness

Write out the dimension of each:

s = M^0LT^0 --- displacement

ut = M^0LT^{-1} *  T --- velocity * time

\frac{1}{2}at^2 = M^0LT^{-2} * T^2 --- acceleration * square of time

The expression becomes:

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1} *  T + M^0LT^{-2} * T^2

Apply law of indices

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1+1} + M^0LT^{-2+2}

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0} + M^0LT^{0}

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0}

Both sides of the equation are equal

Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to ?
garik1379 [7]
<span>A mechanical wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium 

And yeah lol 
A mechanical wave is a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another :) 

This what you needed? </span>
