Answer:

Shadows are made by blocking light. Light rays travel from a source in straight lines. If an opaque (solid) object gets in the way, it stops light rays from traveling through it. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position and size of the light source compared to the object.

What volume In liters is a cube 20cm on a side? If the cube is filled with water what is the mass of the water?

frez [133]

1 liter = 1000 cm^3
20cm * 20cm * 20cm = 8000 cm^3
8000/1000 = 8 liters

Since 1ml of water = 1 cm^3 = 1 grams
8 liters = 8000 grams = 8 kilograms

a student lift a 25kg mass at vertical distance of 1.6m in a time of 2.0 seconds. a. Find the force needed to lift the mass (in

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a. F = 245 Newton.

b. Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. Power = 196 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 25kg

Distance = 1.6m

Time = 2secs

a. To find the force needed to lift the mass (in N );

Force = mass * acceleration

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8

F = 25*9.8

F = 245N

b. To find the work done by the student (in J);

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 245 * 1.6

Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. To find the power exerted by the student (in W);

Power = workdone/time

Power = 392/2

Power = 196 Watts.

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 28 m/s 2 for 9.7 s until its motor stops. Disre

vredina [299]

Answer:

5080.86m

Explanation:

We will divide the problem in parts 1 and 2, and write the equation of accelerated motion with those numbers, taking the upwards direction as positive. For the first part, we have:

$y_1=y_{01}+v_{01}t+\frac{a_1t^2}{2}$

$v_1=v_{01}+a_1t$

We must consider that it's launched from the ground ( $y_{01}=0m$ ) and from rest ( $v_{01}=0m/s$ ), with an upwards acceleration $a_{1}=28m/s^2$ that lasts a time t=9.7s.

We calculate then the height achieved in part 1:

$y_1=(0m)+(0m/s)t+\frac{(28m/s^2)(9.7s)^2}{2}=1317.26m$

And the velocity achieved in part 1:

$v_1=(0m/s)+(28m/s^2)(9.7s)=271.6m/s$

We do the same for part 2, but now we must consider that the initial height is the one achieved in part 1 ( $y_{02}=1317.26m$ ) and its initial velocity is the one achieved in part 1 ( $v_{02}=271.6m/s$ ), now in free fall, which means with a downwards acceleration $a_{2}=-9,8m/s^2$ . For the data we have it's faster to use the formula $v_f^2=v_0^2+2ad$ , where d will be the displacement, or difference between maximum height and starting height of part 2, and the final velocity at maximum height we know must be 0m/s, so we have:
