Which of the following best describes the electromagnetic spectrum?

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?

Bumek [7]

A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit.
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this dista

Nastasia [14]

Answer:A)u =4.295m/s , B)a = 29.746m/s² C) F=3,153N

Explanation:

Using the kinematic expression

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

Given that he reaches a height of 0.940 m above the floor,

the final velocity = 0

Here, acceleration due to gravity is acting in opposite the initial direction of motion. So, a=-9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.940

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

- u² = -18.4428

cancelling the minus in both sides , we have that

u² = 18.4428

u = √18.4428

u =4.295m/s

(b) His acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2

Using v² = u² + 2as

where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s,

v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening = 4.295m/s,

a = acceleration while straightening his legs

s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.310m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (4.29m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.310m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.62 m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s²/(0.62 m)

a = 29.746m/s²

c) The force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Force= mass x acceleration.

F = 106 kg X 29.746m/s²

F = 3,153.076 rounded to 3,153N

Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when t

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:

x = γ(x' + ut')

x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.

x' = 0

t' = 5.00 s

u =0.800 c,

c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Then,

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)

γ = 1 / √0.36

γ = 1 / 0.6

γ = 1.67

Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')

x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)

x = 1.67 × (0+4c)

x = 1.67 × 4c

x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸

x = 2.004 × 10^9 m

x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m

Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:

but as x'=0 we just have:

t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)

t = γ•t'

t = 1.67 × 5

t = 8.35 seconds

b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.

Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,

such that

∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)

c. According to Stanley,

dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m

which is the same as in part (a)

A gardener uses a 60-N wheelbarrow to transport two bags of fertilizer weighing W = 252-N. Determine the maximum allowable horiz

Butoxors [25]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the maximum allowable horizontal distance be represented by "d".

Therefore, torque equation about A will be as follows.

$60 \times 0.15 + 252 \times 0.15 \times 2 + 252 \times d = 2 \times 75 \times (0.7 + 0.15 + 0.15)$

d = $\frac{[2 \times 75 \times (0.7+0.15+0.15) - 60 \times 0.15 - 252 \times 0.15 \times 2]}{252}$

d = 0.409 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum allowable horizontal distance from the axle A of the wheelbarrow to the center of gravity of the second bag if she can hold only 75 N with each arm is 0.409 m.
