The forces exerted by earth and a skier become an action reaction force pair when the skier accelerates while earth doesnt seem

to move at all. expalin why the skier accelerates whu,e tthe earth doesn't seem to move at all?

Explanation:

We know from newton's 2nd law that F= m/a. That is force directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to acceleration. F is same for the skier and Earth but mass is different for both. m for earth is way larger than the m for skier. So, for constant Force , a of Earth must very small as compared with a of the skier.

Autorhythmic cells can generate action potentials spontaneously because they have Autorhythmic cells can generate action potenti
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

They can generate potentials spontaneously because they have Unstable Membrane Potentials.

Explanation:

Autorythmic cells or Pacemaker cells are cells that provide Action potentials (electrical impulses) that starts off the cardiac cycle.

N:B This action potential is created spontaneously.

To explain further, the heart originate in specialized cardiac muscle cells, called autorhythmic cells, that can excite themselves and therefore are able to generate an action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. And this sets the cardiac cycle i

(Pumping of the heart) into motion. (The pace maker potential)

The Autorhythmic cells create an action potential spontaneously

And this is possible because they have an UNSTABLE RESTING POTENTIAL that is continuously depolarizing, while it drifts slowly toward threshold. As Na+ ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes less negative gradually, thus generating the pacemaker potential.

A 4 kg object moving to the left collides with and sticks to a 3 kg object moving to the right. Which of the following is true o
madam [21]

Answer:

D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.

Explanation:

This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?

Not. So. Fast.

We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .

Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.

Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!

Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?

That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately 7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x,

where

  • u is the initial velocity of the object,
  • v is the final velocity of the object.
  • a is its acceleration, and
  • x is its displacement.

In this case, x is the same as the change in the ball's height: x = 2.5\; \rm m. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, u = 0. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h.

In this case, v would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2.

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.
