Defiance Drake, Space Adventurer, desperately needs to reach a cargo vessel 100m away, or run out of air and die in deep space.

For our purposes, there are two relevant directions, the direction Defiance is traveling in (the x-direction, at 1 m/s), and direction of the cargo ship's motion, which is perpendicular to her motion (y-direction, 10 m/s). Defiance uses her jet boots, choosing to accelerate directly in the x-direction at 0.25g (she starts at (x=100,y=0)). If the cargo vessel is 25 m long, and its nose cone starts at x=0,y=0, will Defiance reach the ship or miss? If she misses, how should she have chosen her path (assume she cannot exceed 1 g)?

She misses. She should have accelerated faster in order to get to her target.

Answer:

Explanation:

the one thrown below the horizontal is going straight down, while the one above the horizontal will experience a projectile motion which will makes it move farther away from the building where it was projected.

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the box if you push on the box with a constant force 170.0 N that is parallel to
Degger [83]

The acceleration of the  box up the ramp is 9.65 m/s².

<h3>What is the magnitude of acceleration of the box?</h3>

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F(net) = ma

where;

  • m is the mass of the box
  • a is the acceleration of the box

The net force on the box is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

F(net) = F - μmgcosθ

where;

  • θ is the inclination of the plane
  • μ is coefficient of friction

F(net) = 170 -  (0.3 x 15 x 9.8 x cos55)

F(net) = 144.7

The acceleration of the box is calculated as;

a = F(net) / m

a = (144.7) / (15)

a = 9.65 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the  box up the ramp is 9.65 m/s².

A mass accelerates uniformly when the resultant force on it:
WARRIOR [948]
F = ma
So if you want the "a" to stay constant (as it is then uniform acceleration), the F must also be constant to apply a constant force.

How would local winds be affected if water and land release heat at the same time
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Local winds are driven by temperature differences in areas fairly close to each other. If water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate, there wouldn't be any temperature differences and nothing to power local winds. See the related link for further information.

Which force keeps an object moving in a circle? centripetal force fluid friction inertia momentum
Virty [35]

Answer:

Any object moving in a circle (or along a circular path) experiences a centripetal force. That is, there is some physical force pushing or pulling the object towards the center of the circle. This is the centripetal force requirement.
