Answer:

the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. Aug 29 2019

What is a lunar eclipse?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Moon eclipse is when the moon interposes between the sun and behind the Earth. The moon passes behind the Earth into its umbra and not viceversa! This is possible when the three of them are ALIGNED (in syzygy). In Romania, there was such eclipse that could be seen at an October night last year.

The basketball coach tells his team to run sprints back and forth across the court, which is 30 m long. They start at the left e

sp2606 [1]

Distance is the total length of an object's path. Displacement is the overall change in position, ie. how far an object is from its initial position.

The court is 30 m long, so a path going back and forth once is 60 m long. Going along this path 6 times totals 360 m.

The end point is the same as the starting point, so the displacement is 0 m.

A 10 g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 2 kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 19.6 n/m and whose

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

$x=0.478\ m$ is the compression in the spring

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bullet, $m=10\ g=0.01\ kg$

mass of block, $M=2\ kg$

stiffness constant of the spring, $k=19.6\ N.m^{-1}$

initial velocity of the spring just before it hits the block, $u=300\ m.s^{-1}$

Now since the bullet-mass gets embed into the block, we apply the conservation of momentum as:

$m.u=(M+m).v$

$0.01\times 300=(2+0.01)\times v$

$v=1.4925\ m.s^{-1}$

Now this kinetic energy of the combined mass gets converted into potential energy of the spring.

$\rm Kinetic\ energy=Spring\ potential\ energy$

$\frac{1}{2} (M+m).v^2=\frac{1}{2} k.x^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \times (2+0.01)\times 1.4925^2=\frac{1}{2} \times 19.6\times x^2$

$x=0.478\ m$ is the compression in the spring

What is the science behind the making of pop-up books?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer

The moveable parts of the pop up book are of often cut out by hand and are folded and glued by hand upon the printed pages. The cover is glued or sewn to the lining. Front and backs are often made up from board, which is just a heavier gauge paper than is used for the pages.

Explanation

Hope that this helps you and have a great day:)

g A ball thrown straight up into the air is found to be moving at 7.94 m/s after falling 2.72 m below its release point. Find th

kati45 [8]

The ball has height y and velocity v at time t according to

y = v₀ t - 1/2 g t ²

and

v = v₀ - g t

where v₀ is its initial speed and g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball is falling with a velocity of 7.94 m/s when it's 2.72 m below the release point, which at time t such that

-2.72 m = v₀ t - 1/2 g t ²

-7.94 m/s = v₀ - g t

Solve for t in the second equation:

t = (v₀ + 7.94 m/s)/g

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for v₀ :

-2.72 m = v₀ (v₀ + 7.94 m/s) /g - 1/2 g ((v₀ + 7.94 m/s)/g)²

-2.72 m = v₀²/g + (7.94 m/s) v₀/g - 1/2 (v₀ + 7.94 m/s)²/g

2 (-2.72 m) g = 2v₀² + 2 (7.94 m/s) v₀ - (v₀ + 7.94 m/s)²

2 (-2.72 m) (9.80 m/s²) = 2v₀² + (15.9 m/s) v₀ - (v₀² + (15.9 m/s) v₀ + 63.0 m²/s²)

-53.3 m²/s² = v₀² - 63.0 m²/s²

v₀² = 9.73 m²/s²

v₀ = 3.12 m/s
