Astronaut A can cover 10 meters per minute walking with the heavy shovel. What does

Physics
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d) The speed of the astronaut

Explanation:

The sentence describes the speed of the astronaut. This speed value is 10meters per minute.

Now let us understand why;

  • Speed is the distance divided by time. It is a scalar quantity without regard for direction but it has magnitude.
  • The value 10meters per minute clearly shows this instance. We do not know the direction the astronaut is moving towards.
  • Velocity, like speed is the displacement of a body with time. It is a vector quantity and it shows the direction of motion.
  • For example, 10m/s due west is a velocity value because we know the direction.

Therefore, since there is no directional sense, the value indicates speed.

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

What travels by vibrating particles? Mechincal Waves or ElecrtoMagnetic Waves.
Naddik [55]

Answer:mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves require the particles of the medium to vibrate in order for energy to be transferred. For example, water waves, earthquake/seismic waves, sound waves, and the waves that travel down a rope or spring are also mechanical waves.

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration​
cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.
