Answer:

C. 0 J

Explanation:

When an object moves in a circle, friction provides the centripetal force. Hence, it is acting towards the centre of the circle. The displacement of the object is tangential to the circle at the point of interest. Hence, the angle between the frictional force and the displacement is 90°.

Work done is given by

<em>W</em> = <em>Fd</em> cos <em>θ</em>

where <em>F</em> is the force, <em>d</em> is the displacement and <em>θ</em> is the angle between them.

<em>W</em>  = <em>Fd</em> cos 90° = 0 J

Hence, the work done by friction is 0 J.

when using parallax distance is calculated from the sun and not earth do you think this matters? explain your answer.
Elden [556K]

When using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

<h3>What is parallax distance?</h3>

Parallax enables astronomers to measure the distances of far away stars by using trigonometry.

<h3>Why does astronomers measure parallax distance from sun?</h3>

As the distance of star increases, the parallax angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement.

So taking a refence from the earth instead of the sun will impact the accuracy of their measurement.

Thus, when using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

Osmium (os) is the densest element known (density = 22.57 g/cm3). Calculate the mass in pounds and in kilograms of an os sphere
Rufina [12.5K]

<u>Answer:</u>

    Mass in kg = 39.88

    Mass in pounds = 87.92

<u>Explanation:</u>

   We have the expression for Density, ρ = Mass / Volume, in this case density is given and we need to find mass and volume.

   Volume of a sphere, we have the expression V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius of sphere.

   Radius of sphere, r = Half of diameter = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

   So V = \frac{4}{3}* \pi* 7.5^3 = 1767.15 cm^3

  Mass = Volume *  Density = 1767.15*22.57 = 39884.49 g

    Mass in kg = 39884.49/1000 = 39.88 kg

    Mass in pounds = 39.88*2.205 = 87.92 lb

You’re driving your car towards an intersection. A Porsche is stopped at the red light. You’re traveling at 36 km/h (10 m/s). As
34kurt

Your position at time t, relative to the stop line:

x_1=-15\,\mathrm m+\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t

The Porsche's position:

x_2=\dfrac12\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

a. You pass the Porsche immediately after the time it takes for x_1=x_2:

-15\,\mathrm m+\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t=\dfrac12\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=2.3\,\rm s

at which point you both will have traveled 7.8 m from the stop line.

b. The equation in part (a) has two solutions. The Porsche passes you at the second solution of about t=4.4\,\rm s, at which point you both will have traveled 29 m.

c. At time t, the Porsche is moving at velocity

v=\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

so that at the moment it passes you, its speed is 13 m/s, which is about 46.8 km/h and below the speed limit, so neither of you will be pulled over.
