The object in the lower orbit will move faster in its orbit, and will have a shorter orbital period. None of that depends on their masses either.

A pencil rolls horizontally of a 1 meter high desk and lands .25 meters from the base of the desk. How fast was the pencil rolli

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:

$x=V_{o} cos\theta t$ (1)

$y=y_{o}+Vo sin \theta t + \frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x=0.25 m$ is the horizontal displacement of the pencil

$V_{o}$ is the pencil's initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling

$t$ is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground

$y_{o}=1 m$ is the initial height of the pencil

$y=0$ is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards

Begining with (1):

$x=V_{o} cos(0\°) t$ (3)

$x=V_{o}t$ (4)

Finding $t$ from (2):

$0=1 m+ \frac{-9.8m/s^{2}}{2}t^{2}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (4):

$x=V_{o}\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$ (7)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{0.25 m}{\sqrt{\frac{-2(1 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{o}=0.55 m/s$

Why does fluid pressure exist?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Fluid pressure from gravity is the weight of the fluid above divided by the area it is pushing on. Fluid pressure applies in all directions. Internal pressure of an object equals the external fluid pressure, otherwise the object could be crushed. Wind and heating can also create pressure.

For which pair of launch angles will two identical projectiles have equal ranges?. A. 19.24°, 80.54°B. 16.42°, 74.58°C. 60.23°,

AlladinOne [14]

The kinematic equations of motion that apply here are<span>y(t)=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>and<span>x(t)=votcos(θ)</span>Setting y(t)=0 yields <span>0=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>. If we solve for t, we obtain, by factoring,<span>t=<span>2vsin(θ)g</span></span>Substitute this into our equation for x(t). This yields<span>x(t)=<span><span>2v2cos(θ)sin(θ)</span>g</span></span><span>This is equal to x=<span><span>v^2sin(2θ)</span>g</span></span>Hence the angles that have identical projectiles are have the same range via substitution in the last equation is C. <span> 60.23°, 29.77° </span>

What constant acceleration, in SI units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s? How far has the car traveled when it

nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s

time t = 10 s

Let a be the acceleration and s be he distance traveled.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

26.8 = 0 + a x 10

a = 2.68 m/s

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s = 0 + 0.5 x 2.68 x 10 x 10

s = 134 m

As, 1 m = 3.28 ft

So, s = 134 x 3.28 ft

s = 439.6 ft
