Superman throws a boulder of weight 3800 n at an adversary on the surface of the earth, where the magnitude of the acceleration

due to gravity, g = 9.80 m/s2 . what horizontal force must superman apply to the boulder to give it a horizontal acceleration of 12.8 m/s2 ?

The weight of the boulder is 3800 N, therefore its mass i s
3800/9.8 = 387.755 kg

If the horizontal acceleration is 12.8 m/s², then the horizontal force applied is
F = (387.755 kg)*(12.8 m/s²) = 4.963 x 10³ n = 4.963 kN

Answer: 4.963 kN

When point charges q = +8.4 uC and q2 = +5.6 uC are brought near each other, each experiences a repulsive force of magnitude 0.6
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

it is separated by 80 cm distance

Explanation:

As per Coulombs law we know that force between two point charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 = +8.4\mu C

q_2 = +5.6 \mu C

force between two charges is given as

F = 0.66 N

now we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.66 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.4 \mu C)(5.6 \mu C)}{r^2}

r = 0.8 m

so it is separated by 80 cm distance

An object falls from the top of a building that is 25 m high. Air resistance is negligible.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>

Given that we can write that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height

v^2 = 2gh

v = √2 * 9.8 * 25

v = 22.1 m/s

Why do remote controls for TV’s use infrared waves to communicate?
Delvig [45]

Answer:  An IR remote (also called a transmitter) uses light to carry signals from the remote to the device so it can be controlled. It emits pulses of invisible infrared light that correspond to specific binary codes. These codes represent commands, such as power on, volume up, or channel down.

What specific structures are in electroreceptors?
Slav-nsk [51]
Electroreception is limited to aquatic environments because on here is the resistivity of the medium is low enough for electric currents to be generated as the result of electric fields of biological origin.  In air, the resistivity of the environment is so high that electric fields from biological sources do not generate a significant electric current.  Electroreceptor are found in a number of species of fish,  and in at least one species of mammal,  the Duck-Billed platypus.

It is claimed that if a lead bullet goes fast enough, it can melt completely when it comes to a halt suddenly, and all its kinet
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

354.72 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of lead bullet

c = specific heat of lead = 128 J/(kg °C)

L = Latent heat of fusion of lead = 24500 J/kg

T_{i} = initial temperature = 27.4 °C

T_{f} = final temperature = melting point of lead =  327.5 °C

v = Speed of lead bullet

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of bullet = Heat required for change of temperature + Heat of melting

(0.5) m v^{2} = m c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + m L\\(0.5) v^{2} = c (T_{f} - T_{i}) + L\\(0.5) v^{2} = (128) (327.5 - 27.4) + 24500\\(0.5) v^{2} = 62912.8\\v = 354.72 ms^{-1}
