Which body exerts the force that propels the sprinter, the blocks or the sprinter?

Physics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago

Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
malfutka [58]

Answer:  A) 6.38(10)^{6} m

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia I of a sphere is:

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2} (1)

Where:

I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2} is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

m=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Isolating r from (1):

r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}} (2)

Solving:

r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}} (3)

Finally:

r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer: C. Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.

Explanation:

The periodic table contains vertical columns called as groups and horizontal rows called as periods.

Period 2 contains 8 elements which are lithium, beryllium , boron , carbon, nitrogen, oxygen , fluorine and neon. Only Lithium and beryllium are metals.

Group 18 contains all the noble gases which are all non metals.

Metals are the elements which loose electrons easily and form positive ions. Non-metals are the elements which can gain electrons easily and form negative ions.

Metals are present on left side of the periodic table and as we move to right side of the periodic table , the metallic character decreases and thus non metals are found on the right side of the periodic table.

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters
