For this we need to use several formulas:
v = a*t
This simply means that after 1 second we will have some speed and if we double time, speed will double as well.

But, relation time-traveled distance isn't linear. Traveled distance we calculate:
s = 1/2*a*t^2                we can say that h=s
so if we double time, traveled distance will increase 4 times because of square relation between time and traveled distance.

New traveled distance (h2) will be: h2=4*h

b)  Because distance depends on gravity acceleration in free fall h2 will certainly change but the relation h2=4*h will remain the same.

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. to determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a 1.50 kg wrench from 5.50
Vesnalui [34]
1. calculate the value of acceleration that objects gains in that period of time
•calculating acceleration
5.50 = 1/2at^2
5.50*2/t^2 = a
11.00/0.657 = a
16.74=a
now you got the acceleration
2. you have laws of gravitation for that

g = Gm/r^2
where g is the acceleration value
16.74 = 6.754*10^-11 × m/ 6.28*10^4
105.14*10^4 /6.754*10-11 = m
15.567*10^15 = m
that would be the mass of the planet ...

A crate pushed along the floor with velocity vâ i slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. if the mass of the cra
Alenkinab [10]
<span>d The mass is doubled which means that both the momentum and kinetic energy are also doubled. Also the normal force that's acting along with the coefficient of kinetic friction is also doubled. So the friction that's working to slow down the crate is doubled. So the crate will have double the kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated, but the rate of dissipation is also doubled, so the total time required to dissipate the kinetic energy is the same. And since both crates start out with the same velocity and since they'll lose energy (and velocity) at the same proportional rate, they'll take the same distance to slide to a stop.</span>

A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washe
STALIN [3.7K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to thermal expansion.

The thermal expansion is given by the function,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

\Delta L= Change in Length

\Delta T =Change in Temperature

\alpha =Coeficiente de dilatación lineal

L_0 = Initial Length

By quickly deducing the formula, we can realize that the greater the change in temperature, the greater the change in the length of the radius.

The change in length is proportional to the change in temperature. Considering that the other two terms are constant we have that the correct one would be: <em>The hole in the center of the washer will expand.</em>
