A grasshopper leaps into the air at a 62° angle above the horizontal, and follows a parabolic arc in free fall after it leaves t

he ground. Mark all of the following that are true at the top of that parabolic arc?
a. The grasshopper is in equilibrium at the top of the arc.
b. The grasshopper's total velocity vector is zero.
c. The grasshopper's acceleration vector is zero.
d. None of the above.

Answer:

d. None of the above.

Explanation:

In a parabolic motion, you have that in the complete trajectory the component velocity is constant and the vertical component changes in time. Then, the total velocity vector is not zero.

In the complete trajectory the gravitational acceleration is always present. Then, the grasshopper's acceleration vector is not zero.

At the top of the arc the grasshopper is not at equilibrium because the gravitational force is constantly acting on the grasshopper.

Then, the correct answer is:

d. None of the above.

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera
Ede4ka [16]
The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w
where 
m_w = 30 g is the mass of the water
C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C) is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
Q = m_i L_f
where m_i is the mass of the ice while L_f =334 J/g is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
m_i =  \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

           L₀ = L_f

           I₀ w₀ = I w

          w =\frac{I_o}{I} w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

          I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

        I <I₀

        I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.

A stone on ground is zero energy​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.

A car is moving at a rate of 72 km/hr .How far does car move when it stop after 4 seconds? ​
Zanzabum

Answer:

Assuming it starts at 72 kmph and hits a dead stop: Divide 72 by 60 for distance per minute. So, 1.2km per minute. 1.2km is 1200m and 4 seconds is one fifteenth of a minute.
