Answer:

Option A, B, C and D

Explanation:

First to all, we need to remember something. Mercury is the first planet to our solar system, therefore, it's the closest planet to the sun. Because of this, temperatures of that planet are way too high.

Mercury has a very thin atmosphere so it barely exists. It also has a low gravity and receives large gusts of solar winds from the Sun, that's why it has high temperature, and therefore, it's escape velocity is very low too.

Of course, it's one of the smallest planets in our solar system, so,the atmosphere of Mercury is unstable and constantly shifting. As the atmosphere’s materials are being made, they are also being taken away at the uppermost layers due to solar winds. The composition of the atmosphere can also change as you move across the planet.

•→ Acceleration of the body under S.H.M is proportional to its displacement.

•→ This motion is periodic.

•→ Mechanical energy is conserved in S.H.M

Explanation:

S.H.M is Simple Harmonic Motion

Calculate the weight of a new fast-food sandwich that has a mass of 0.1 kg (approximately the mass of a quarter pound). Think of
iragen [17]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

If you plan to sell these things on Earth, then the acceleration of gravity in the neighborhood of your drive-throughs will be 9.81 m/s².

Weight of each sandwich = (0.1 kg) x (9.81 m/s²).

Weight of each sandwich = 0.981 Newton.

This is only  1.9%  less than 1 even Newton.

You should start by setting up one restaurant in New York, one in Chicago, one in LA, and maybe one in Miami or Tulsa.  Sell it with a different name in each place, and see which name sells best.

You might want to try calling it

-- Isaac's burger

-- Gravity grub

-- Prism Patty

-- Mass 'o Meat

-- Unit-wich

and see if anything catches on.

I think I'd simply call it a "Newton Unit".

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm  

Diameter for aluminum bar  = 40 mm

Hole diameter  = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180  × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in  calculating the contraction on the bar is:

\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}

The relation used in  calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Total contraction on the Bar  = \dfrac{180 *10^3 \N  }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

A car is traveling with a velocity of 5.5 m/s and has a mass of 1200 kg. What is the kinetic energy?!
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>18150 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the Mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1200 \times  {5.5}^{2}  \\  = 600 \times 30.25

We have the final answer as

<h3>18150 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

a vector is 253 m long and points in a 55.8 degree direction, what’s the y and x- component of the vector?
BartSMP [9]

Well we know the hypotenuse of the triangle which is 253 m. And we know the angle of the triangle which is 55.8 degrees. So we want to find y. And to find y we use sin. And sin is a ratio, the ratio of the opposite leg, and hypotenuse. So sin(55.8) = y/253. Now we solve for y by multiplying both sides by 253. And finally we get 209.25 as the length of the y component.
