The tension in the string corresponds to the gravitational attraction between the Sun and any planet.

Answer:

<h2>Gravitational Force.</h2>

Explanation:

While Steve is whirling a rubber cork, it developes a situation which is similar to the Solar System. In the rubber cork movement, there's "circular" motion which is possible thanks to the string, that is, the string works as "attraction force", allowing the system to maintain its movement.

Now, in the Solar System, the graviational force is like the string, it's the physical magnitude that maintains planets on their movements, attached to the Sun someway.

False
<u>
</u><u>T</u>here reason why it's false is because Nitrogen is not responsible for clouds and precipitation. The real answer is that Water (Ocean / Other) is responsible for clouds and precipitation.

A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).
just olya [345]

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles (\vec r_{cm}), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}} (1)

Where:

m_{i} - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

\vec r_{i} - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that \vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m), m_{1} = 1\,kg, \vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m), m_{2} = 4.50\,kg, \vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m) and m_{3} = 4\,kg, then the coordinates of the third particle are:

(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}

(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})

(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)

(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
pickupchik [31]
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height. 

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

A force of 25 newtons moves a box a distance of 4 meters in 5 seconds.
Simora [160]

By definition, we have that the work done is given by:

W = F * d

Where,

F: force in the direction of displacement

d: displaced distance

Substituting values we have:

W = (25) * (4)\\W = 100 Nm

Then, the power is given by:

P = \frac{W}{t}

Where,

t: time

Substituting values we have:

P = \frac{100}{5}

P = 20\frac{Nm}{s}

Answer:

The work done on the box is 100 Nm, and the power is 20 Nm/s.
