Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Tycho Brahe saw a super nova which inspired him to study astronomy.His observations are 5 times more accurate than other astronomers of his time   and thus he was given a private island to study about astronomy  .He made most accurate naked eye measurements ever.

So he can be said to be the "greatest naked eye astronomer of all time"

That minimum coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road that will allow the car that will round safely.
liraira [26]

Answer:

The answer is "0.13562748"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Using formula:

\bold{U_s=\frac{v^2}{rg}}

Given:

r=1.60 \times 10^2 \ m\\\\g=9.8\\\\v= 52.5\ \frac{km}{hr}= 14.583\ \frac{m}{s}

put the value into the above-given formula:

U_s= \frac{14.583^2}{160 \times 9.8}

    = \frac{212.663889}{1568}\\\\=0.13562748

The potential energy of an object attached to a spring is 2.60 J at a location where the kinetic energy is 1.40 J. If the amplit
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This is the equation for elastic potential energy, where U is potential energy, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the spring constant. 

 U = (1/2)kx^2 

 U = (1/2)(5.3)(3.62-2.60)^2 

 U =  2.75706 J

The airplane is flying with a constant velocity. Which force acting on the airplane below represents the friction from air resis
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer to the question is  C i.e C represents the friction from air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand friction.

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two bodies in contact when there is a relative motion between them.

The air resistance is that frictional force which is provided by the air to the moving body through it. Hence, the friction from air resistance will be directed opposite to the motion of the body.

In the given diagram, the airplane is going horizontally. The force A acts in forward direction while force C acts in backward direction. The forces B and D are acting vertically.  There is no motion in vertical direction. Hence, the net force of A and C will cause the airplane to move.

As the plane is moving along the direction of A, the frictional force must act along the direction of C.

a. 46 m/s east

The jet here is moving with a uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find its velocity:

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity calculated at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

The jet in the problem has, taking east as positive direction:

u = +16 m/s  is the initial velocity

a=+3 m/s^2  is the acceleration

Substituting t = 10 s, we find the final velocity of the jet:

v=16 + (3)(10)=46 m/s

And since the result is positive, the direction is east.

b. 310 m

The displacement of the jet can be found using another suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the jet in this problem,

u = +16 m/s  is the initial velocity

a=+3 m/s^2  is the acceleration

t = 10 s is the time

Substituting into the equation,

s=(16)(10)+\frac{1}{2}(3)(10)^2=310 m

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)
