As soon as a bowling ball rolls off the edge of a table its horizontal component of velocity

Physics
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B) Remains constant

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant velocity, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance)

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration, due to the presence of the force of gravity (pointing downward), that accelerates the ball towards the ground with acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2.

We are only interested in the horizontal motion of the ball: we said that there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction, therefore the horizontal component of the the velocity of the ball is constant.

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since <u>the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents</u>, such as <u>humidity (rainfall included) and temperature</u>.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of <u>higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </u>

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).
dolphi86 [110]

               (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

         =    (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60)          m³/sec

         =                  0.000631  m³/sec

A meter stick A hurtles through space at a speed v = 0.25c relative to you, with its length aligned with the direction of motion
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • relativistic length of stick A, L=1\ m
  • relativistic velocity of stick A with respect to observer, v=0.25c=7.5\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

<em>Since the object is moving with a velocity comparable to the velocity of light  with respect to the observer therefore the length will appear shorter according to the theory of relativity.</em>

<u> Mathematical expression of the theory of relativity for length contraction:</u>

L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}

where:

L = relativistic length

L_0= original length at rest

\gamma = Lorentz factor =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

\Rightarrow 1=\frac{L_0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }}

L_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Dante drew a diagram of an electric generator.
dimaraw [331]

Answer: There should be one brush on each slip ring.

Explanation:

A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is known as an electric generator. The magnets are kept surrounding armature and axle. The armature rotates in between the magnets. This generates electric current which is detected by the ammeter.

It is based on Faraday's law - when a conductor moves in a magnetic field, an emf is induced in the conductor. Thus, a battery is not required. There should be one brush on each slip ring because the brushes must make contact with the rotating rings to supply current to the coil.
