Explanation:

It would be easier to lift the hammer, during the nailing, in Pluto than on earth but it would require more hammer jacks to drive the nail through the floorboard. This is because the gravity on Pluto is weaker than on Earth. The additional acceleration of the hammer (due to gravity) would be lesser hence you would require to put in a bit more energy for the downforce of the hammer.

On the sun, it would be difficult to lift the hammer than here on earth. This is because the gravity of the sun is much greater than on earth. If you would manage to lift the hammer, the downforce of the hammer on the nail would have an added acceleration of the gravity of the sun hence the force of the hammer hitting the nail would be higher hence rapidly driving it through the floorboard.

Why are isotopes not shown on the periodic table

Fofino [41]

Hey there!

The periodic table is arranged by number of protons/electrons which is the same for all isotopes of an element. <u>A different isotope will have a different number of neutrons only, which does not qualify it for a separate space on the periodic table.</u>

I hope this helps!

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object ________ the gain in momentum of another object.

Virty [35]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁ = - (P'₂ - P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The girl whirling the ball should let go off ball when the ball is at a position such that tangent to the circle is in the direction of the target.

the tangent at any point in a circular path indicates the direction of velocity at that point. And the moment when the centripetal force is removed the ball will follow the tangential path at that moment.

A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what

Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0 as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25$

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.
