Explanation:

A stone is thrown upward neglecting air resistance. ... Why is it important that a satellite remain above Earth's atmosphere? The air resistance will slow it down and burn it. What happens to a satellite close to Earth's surface if it is given a speed exceeding 11.2 km/s?

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$

Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s$

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 106.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resistin

otez555 [7]

Answer:

"1155 N" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration,

$a=3 \ m/s^2$

Forces resisting motion,

$F_f=432 \ N$

Mass,

$m = 241 \ kg$

By using Newton's second law, we get

⇒ $F-F_f=ma$

Or,

⇒ $F=ma+F_f$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=(3\times 241)+432$

⇒ $=723+432$

⇒ $=1155 \ N$

Naily [24]

Answer:

True, The humans have modified their environment the ecological system

Explanation:

Human is a part of the earth system and they are included in the ecological system that in particular is concerned with the provision of the feedback mechanism and cyclic flow of the system of energy such as the atmosphere, cryosphere, and the biosphere and the hydrosphere.

The human has already and influences the earth's physical system alike that of the atmospheric system in terms of the climate changes and the global warming that is taking place at a massive scale.

They are influencing the soil and land systems in terms of the depletion resources and the disturbing the hydrological cycles on earth that further influence the amounts of rainfall patterns.

The three examples given above are those of the use of the natural resources and thereby depletion of resources which are needed to sustain the functioning of the planet and various fields of the economics and the geology and that of the socio systems are also impacted and these forms the earth's major sphere of life.
