The mountains on the Moon were formed by what process?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The mountains that we observe on the moon, from earth are those rims forming the lunar mountains and mountain ranges. It has formed due to the asteroidal impact on the surface of the moon, billions of years back, resulting in the depressions and the highland areas. Due to this impact, a huge amount of heat energy generated that eroded and melted much of the materials from the moon's surface.

A large fake cookie sliding on a horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 375 N

spayn [35]

Answer:

The conservation of energy should be used to answer this question.

At the position where the spring is unstretched, the elastic potential energy of the spring is zero.

$K_1 + U_1 - W_f = K_2 +U_2\\K_1 - W_f = U_2$

since $U_1$ and $K_2$ is equal to zero.

$W_f = F_fx\\\\U_2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\19 - (10)x = \frac{1}{2}(375)x^2\\\\375x^2 + 20x - 38 = 0$

The roots of this quadratic equation can be solved by using discriminant.

$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_1 = -0.346\\x_2 = 0.292$

We should use the positive root, so

x = 0.292 m.

We should use energy conservation between the point where the spring is momentarily at rest, and the point where the spring is unstretched.

$K_2 + U_2 - W_f = K_3 + U_3\\U_2 - W_f = K_3$

since the kinetic energy at point 2 and the potential energy at point 3 is equal to zero.

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 - F_fx = K_3\\K_3 = 15.987 - 2.92 = 13.067 J$

Explanation:

In questions with springs, the important thing is to figure out the points where kinetic or potential energy terms would be zero. When the spring is unstretched, the elastic potential energy is zero. And when the spring is at rest, naturally the kinetic energy is equal to zero.

In part b) the cookie slides back to its original position, so the distance traveled, x, is equal to the distance in part a). The frictional force is constant in the system, so it is quite simple to solve part b) after solving part a).

A runner whose mass is 54 kg accelerates from a stop to a speed of 7 m/s in 3 seconds. (A good sprinter can run 100 meters in ab

Darya [45]

Answer:

a. $F=126N$

b. $E_K=1323J$

Explanation:

Given:

$m=54kg$

$v=7 m/s$

$t= 3s$

The runner force average to find given the equations

$F=m*a$

$a=\frac{v}{t}$

$F=m*\frac{v}{t}=54kg*\frac{7m/s}{3s}$

$F=126N$

Work done by the system by this force so

$W=F*d$

$W=E_K$

$E_K=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2$

$E_K=\frac{1}{2}*54kg*(7m/s)^2$

$E_K=1323J$

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Correct answer: The fourth claim

Explanation:

No claim is most accurate but if you have to choose the best from the bad one, it's fourth - Its height decreased as its motion increased.

The potential energy depends from height Ep = m g h and kinetic

energy depends besides mass from velocity (motion) Ek = m v²/ 2

God is with you!!!

All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is

andre [41]

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
So, if the acceleration is zero, this means that the rate of change of velocity is zero, which also means that the body is moving with constant velocity.
Since we are given that the net forces acting on the body is zero, this means that the body is at equilibrium

Based on this:
<span>All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is in a state known as equilibrium.

Note that if this constant velocity is equal to zero, then the body would be at rest (not moving)</span>
