Explain why there is no acceleration horizontally on an object in Projectile Motion. A. There is no acceleration horizontally be

cause velocity is constant in the x- direction. B. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity increases in the x- direction. C. There is no acceleration horizontally because velocity decreases in the x-direction . D. There is no acceleration vertically because velocity is constant in the y -direction .

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

The force of gravity does not affect the horizontal component in projectile motion; a projectile maintains a constant horizontal velocity. So there is no acceleration ( a=0 ) in horizontal direction as velocity remains constant.

A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor .

R = Wman - T

What is the speed that is measured in speedometer to track speed violation?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The officer's unit detects this 135-mile-per-hour speed and should subtract the patrol car's 70-mile -per-hour ground speed to get your true speed of 65 miles per hour. Instead, the officer's ground-speed beam fixes on the truck ahead and measures a false 50-mile-per-hour ground speed.

Explanation:

A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles, they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards.

The following three questions refer to a situation in which a driver is in a car that crashes into a solid wall. The car comes t

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 45000 N / s , p₀ '= 1800 , b) I = -45000 N s , I = 1800 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse equals the change in momentum

I = Δp

1) the initial moment of the car

p₀ = M v

p₀ = 1500 30

p₀ = 45000 N / s

the change at the moment is

Δp = 45000

because the end the car is stopped

moment of the person

P₀ ’= m v

p₀ '= 60 30

p₀ '= 1800

D₀ '= 1800

2) of the momentum change impulse ratio

car

I = Δp

I = -45000 N s

person

I = Δpo '

I = 1800 Ns

3) the object that give the momentum to stop the wall motoring

The person is stopped by the impulse given by the car

a) This area is the one that absorbs most of the vehicle impulse

be) If using a safety painter, the time during which the greater force will act, therefore the lessons decrease

c) The air bag helps reduction in the speed of the person relatively quickly.

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.

A 1 036-kg satellite orbits the Earth at a constant altitude of 98-km. (a) How much energy must be added to the system to move t

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) The Energy added should be 484.438 MJ

b) The Kinetic Energy change is -484.438 MJ

c) The Potential Energy change is 968.907 MJ

Explanation:

Let 'm' be the mass of the satellite , 'M'(6× $10^{24}$ be the mass of earth , 'R'(6400 Km) be the radius of the earth , 'h' be the altitude of the satellite and 'G' (6.67× $10^{-11}$ N/m) be the universal constant of gravitation.

We know that the orbital velocity(v) for a satellite -

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Gmm}{R+h} }$ [(R+h) is the distance of the satellite from the center of the earth ]

Total Energy(E) = Kinetic Energy(KE) + Potential Energy(PE)

For initial conditions ,

h = $h_{i}$ = 98 km = 98000 m

∴Initial Energy ( $E_{i}$ ) = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$ + $\frac{-GMm}{(R+h_{i} )}$

Substituting v= $\sqrt{\frac{GMm}{R+h_{i} } }$ in the above equation and simplifying we get,

$E_{i}$ = $\frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{i}) }$

Similarly for final condition,

h= $h_{f}$ = 198km = 198000 m

∴Final Energy( $E_{f}$ ) = $\frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{f}) }$

a) The energy that should be added should be the difference in the energy of initial and final states -

∴ ΔE = $E_{f}$ - $E_{i}$

= $\frac{GMm}{2}$ ( $\frac{1}{R+h_{i} }$ - $\frac{1}{R+h_{f} }$ )

Substituting ,

M = 6 × $10^{24}$ kg

m = 1036 kg

G = 6.67 × $10^{-11}$

R = 6400000 m

$h_{i}$ = 98000 m

$h_{f}$ = 198000 m

We get ,

ΔE = 484.438 MJ

b) Change in Kinetic Energy (ΔKE) = $\frac{1}{2}$ m[ $v_{f} ^{2}$ - $v_{i} ^{2}$ ]

= $\frac{GMm}{2}$ [ $\frac{1} {R+h_{f} }$ - $\frac{1} {R+h_{i} }$ ]

= -ΔE

= - 484.438 MJ

c) Change in Potential Energy (ΔPE) = GMm[ $\frac{1}{R+h_{i} }$ - $\frac{1}{R+h_{f} }$ ]

= 2ΔE

= 968.907 MJ
