A rock is thrown straight up. What is the net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory?

Physics

Korolek [52]4 years ago

Answer:

Net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory is force due to gravity (mg).

Explanation:

The forces acting on a rock thrown up are force due to gravity and air resistance. Air resistance is directly proportional to velocity of rock, when velocity is zero air resistance is zero. When it is at the top of its trajectory its velocity is zero. So air resistance is also zero. Hence only gravitational force acts on the rock.

Net external force acting on the rock when it is at the top of its trajectory is force due to gravity (mg).

Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0 gal gas tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per seco
Maslowich
A)
R1 = 30/(7*60)
We are multiplying 7 with 60 because there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
R1 = 30/420 = 0.0714 gallons/second

b) For this we need to express gallons to cubic meters.
1 gallon = 0.003785 m^3
R2 = 0.0714*0.003785 = 0.00027 m^3/s

c) V = R2*t    where V is volume of some tank.
which means that
t=V/R2    
t =  3698.8s   or 
t = 1.0274 hours

What is initial velocity
Lapatulllka [165]

Initial Velocity is the velocity at time interval t = 0 and it is represented by u. It is the velocity at which the motion starts. They are four initial velocity formulas: (1) If time, acceleration and final velocity are provided, the initial velocity is articulated as. u = v – at.

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.

acontainer is filled whith mercury to alevel of 10m whit water to alevel of 8m and whit oil to alevel of 5m the densities oil ,w
Alborosie

Answer:

1450.4 KNm^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure = ρhg

where: ρ is the density of the liquid, h is the height and g the force of gravity.

Total pressure exerted by the liquids at the base = Pressure of oil + Pressure of water + Pressure of mercury

So that,

i. Pressure of oil = ρhg

(ρ = 0.8 g/cm³ = 800 kg/m³)

                        = 800 x 5 x 9.8

                        = 39200

Pressure of oil = 39200 Nm^{2}

ii. Pressure of water = ρhg

(ρ = 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³)

                                      = 1000 x 8 x 9.8

                                     = 78400

Pressure of water = 78400 Nm^{2}

ii. Pressure of mercury = ρhg

(ρ = 13.6 g/cm³ = 13600 kg/m³)

                      = 13600 x 10 x 9.8

                      = 1332800

Pressure of mercury = 1332800 Nm^{2}

So that,

Total pressure exerted by the liquids at the base = 39200 + 78400 + 1332800

                                               = 1450400

                                               = 1450.4 KNm^{2}

Total pressure exerted by the liquids at the base is 1450.4 KNm^{2}.
