Providing that it does not collide with another object, what is the most likely reason that an object moving through space would

change velocity?

<em>GRAVITY !</em>

The object doesn't have to collide or even TOUCH something else in order to feel a gravitational force toward it.

If there's a gravitational force between the space object and ANYTHING else, (and there always is !), then that force will change the object's speed or direction of motion.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane m=1400\ kg

distance moved d=40\ m

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

W_T=T\cdot d

W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40

W_T=548.8\ KJ

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

W_T+W_g=0

W_g=-548.8\ KJ

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

a person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. calculate (a) how high it goes, and (b) how long
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

a) about 20.4 meters high

b) about 4.08 seconds

Explanation:

Part a)

To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

-9.8 \frac{m}{s} =\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:

-9.8  =\frac{0-20}{t}\\t=\frac{20}{9.8} s = 2.04 s

Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi=20*(2.04)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*2.04^{2}\\Xf-Xi=20.408 m

Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)

Xf-Xi=0=20*(t)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^{2

To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:

0= t(20-\frac{9.8}{2} t)

Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:

1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and

2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:

0= 20-\frac{9.8}{2} t\\t=\frac{20*2}{9.8} = 4.08 s
