Answer:

d. $1 \times 10^{5}$ kilometers per hour

Explanation:

Halley's comet is named after the astronomer Halley. This comet entered the inner solar system from the Kupier's belt. It is very large in size. It appears every 75 or 79 years in the inner solar system and can be seen with the naked eye. Its orbit is elliptical in shape. It reflects the sun light, otherwise it is entirely dark and made up of volatile material, as observed

Answer:

in first case the torque is maximum.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

τ = F x d x Sinθ

In case A: the angle between force vector and the distance vector is 90 so torque is

τ = F x d

In case B: the angle between force vector and the distance is 30°.

τ = F x d x Sin30

τ = 0.5 Fd

So the torque is maximum in first case.

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating

lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time:
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction. If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up".
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

The static frictional force between a 95-kilogram object and the floor is 45 Newtons. The kinetic frictional force is only 22 Ne

Lisa [10]

Answer:

F = 69.5 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction, and it can be calculated by the following expression.

$f=N*miu$

where:

N = normal force [N]

miu = friction coefficient

f = friction force = 22 [N]

Now we must calculate the force exerted by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F - f = m*a$
