You are riding in a car on the freeway when a large truck speeds by you. Why is your car pushed towards the truck?

an astronaut drops a hammer and an egg while standing on the surface of the moon. which one will the surface first?

elena-s [515]

The two will fall at the same speed and reach the surface at the same time. This is because the two will experience the same gravitational acceleration on the moon. However, on the earth surface the two will land on the surface of the earth at the same time due to air resistance such that the egg will experience a higher air resistance than the hammer. On, the moon, where there is no noticeable atmosphere there is no air resistance on either object and both fall at the same speed. It is also important to note that their mass doesn't affect their speed.

A 3.5 kg object moving in two dimensions initially has a velocity v1 = (12.0 i^ + 22.0 j^) m/s. A net force F then acts on the o

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The work done by the force is 820.745 joules.

Explanation:

Let suppose that changes in potential energy can be neglected. According to the Work-Energy Theorem, an external conservative force generates a change in the state of motion of the object, that is a change in kinetic energy. This phenomenon is describe by the following mathematical model:

$K_{1} + W_{F} = K_{2}$

Where:

$W_{F}$ - Work done by the external force, measured in joules.

$K_{1}$ , $K_{2}$ - Translational potential energy, measured in joules.

The work done by the external force is now cleared within:

$W_{F} = K_{2} - K_{1}$

After using the definition of translational kinetic energy, the previous expression is now expanded as a function of mass and initial and final speeds of the object:

$W_{F} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2})$

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final speeds of the object, measured in meters per second.

Now, each speed is the magnitude of respective velocity vector:

Initial velocity

$v_{1} = \sqrt{v_{1,x}^{2}+v_{1,y}^{2}}$

$v_{1} = \sqrt{\left(12\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(22\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v_{1} \approx 25.060\,\frac{m}{s}$

Final velocity

$v_{2} = \sqrt{v_{2,x}^{2}+v_{2,y}^{2}}$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{\left(16\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(29\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$v_{2} \approx 33.121\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, if $m = 3.5\,kg$ , $v_{1} \approx 25.060\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} \approx 33.121\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the work done by the force is:

$W_{F} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (3.5\,kg)\cdot \left[\left(33.121\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(25.060\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right]$

$W_{F} = 820.745\,J$

The work done by the force is 820.745 joules.

26. Which of the following is NOT a result of the Earth's precession?

ExtremeBDS [4]

The Earth's axis' orientation in space gradually shifts due to the precession.

Precession is the name given to this motion, which is characterized by a cyclic wobble in the direction of the Earth's axis of rotation over a period of 25,772 years. The third motion of the Earth to be discovered, following the much more evident daily rotation and yearly revolution, is precession. The axial tilt of the Earth gradually changes over time as a result of precession. The points on the Earth's orbit where the equinoxes and solstices fall will shift over time. As a result, 13,000 years from now, the location of the summer solstice will change to that of the winter solstice. The Earth's axis changes its direction due to precession. In relation to the stars, the celestial poles steadily shift.

Ayuda por favor !

Mrrafil [7]

La respuesta es 3 ohmios

Resistencia total = (1/12 + 1/4) ⁻¹

= (1/3) ⁻¹

= 3 ohmios

Por ejemplo, dos resistencias, R1 y R2 están en serie, la resistencia combinada es R1 + R2.

Cuando se conecta en paralelo, la resistencia total es el recíproco de (1 / R1 + 1 / R2)

En este caso las resistencias están en paralelo

Espero que esto ayude, que tengas un día bendecido!
