Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

An object when when projected at an angle, will have some horizontal velocity and vertical velocity such that,

$v_x=v\cos\theta\ \text{and}\ v_y=v\sin\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

The horizontal component of the projectile remains the same because there is no horizontal motion. Vertical component changes at every point.

As a projectile falls, vertical velocity increases in magnitude, horizontal velocity stays the same .

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:0.25 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of blob $m=50 gm$

initial velocity $u=-5 m/s\ \hat{i}$

time of collision $t=20 ms$

we know Impulse is equal to change in momentum

initial momentum $P_i=mu$

$P_i=50\times 10^{-3}\times (-5)=-0.25 kg-m/s$

Final momentum $P_f=50\times 10^{-3}v$

$P_f=0$ as final velocity is zero

Impulse $J=P_f-P_i$

$J=0-(-0.25)$

$J=0.25 kg-m/s$

1. Study the map. What do you think divergent boundary means ? What about convergent boundary ?

olasank [31]

Answer:

Convergence generally means coming together, while divergence generally means moving apart. In the world of finance and trading, convergence and divergence are terms used to describe the directional relationship of two trends, prices, or indicators.

Hope this helps! :)

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

$L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}$

where

$L_0$ is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

$L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m$

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?

vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
Observation of the landscapes
Close observation of outcrops
