Answer:

horizontal distance on moon > horizontal distance on earth

Explanation:

Let the time of fall is t and the height from which they fall is h.

The time of fall is

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Time of fall on earth

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_{e}}

Time of fall on moon

t'=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_{m}}

As the gravity on moon is less than the gravity on earth

So, t' > t

Horizontal distance = horizontal velocity x time

So, the horizontal distance on moon is more than the horizontal distance on earth.

Please help! What's the answer to this question, A 5.6 nC electric charge is placed in an Electric Field and experiences a force
zvonat [6]

Answer:

1321 N/C

Explanation:

From the question,

Electric Field (E) = Electric Force(F)/Electric Charge(q)

E = F/q............ Equation 1

Given: F = 7.4 μN = 7.4×10⁻⁶ N, q = 5.6 nC = 5.6×10⁻⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 1

E = ( 7.4×10⁻⁶)/(5.6×10⁻⁹)

E = 1.321×10³ N/C

E = 1321 N/C

Hence the magnitude of the electric field at that location is 1321 N/C

A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational
-Dominant- [34]
Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

A mouse is sitting on a record player. The mouse is 10 cm away from the center of the record. The record player plays at 45 rpm
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

       v = 0.4712 m / s       In the opposite direction of the turntable

Explanation:

For this exercise the mouse to remain motionless must run at the same speed as the record player point moves,

Let's use rotational kinematics to find the speed of the record player at the point where the mouse is

          v = w r

Let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

         w = 45 rpm (2π rad / 1rev) (1 min / 60s) = 4.712 rad / s

         r = 10 cm = 0.10 m

Let's calculate

         v = 4.712 0.10

         v = 0.4712 m / s

In the opposite direction of the turntable

A fish (6 kg) is being yanked vertically upward out of the water and the fishing line breaks. If the line is rated to a maximum
ANEK [815]

Answer:

15.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s²

From the question,

F-W = ma......................... Equation 1

Where F = Tension on the line, W = weight of the fish, m = mass of the fish, a = acceleration of the fish.

But,

W = mg........................ Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F-mg = ma

make a the subject of the equation

a = (F-mg)/m.................... Equation 3

Given: F = 150 N, m = 6 kg,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

a = [150-(6×9.8)]/6

a = (150-58.8)/6

a = 91.2/6

a = 15.2 m/s²

Hence the minimum acceleration of the fish = 15.2 m/s²

Who is Rachel Carson and why is she important to environmentalism
ryzh [129]
Rachel Carson was an American marine biologist, who after the discovery of the effects of synthetic pesticides on the environment, became a conservationist.. She wrote a book called, <em>Silent Spring</em> which helped advance the worldwide environmental movement. Her book, <em>Silent Spring</em> expressed her feelings and thoughts on the environmental problems, including many problems with synthetic pesticides like DDT. <em />This then influenced a nationwide ban on many pesticides, including DDT. Her book lead to the inspiration of the grassroots movement and the creation of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency. Rachel Carson was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter.
