Answer:

2) Earth

Explanation:

As per Kepler's first law we know that all planets and all satellites revolves in elliptical path with one of its focii as Sun or planet around which satellite and planets are revolving.

Now here we need to know about the focii of moon which is revolving around Earth in its elliptical path.

So as per same law we can say that since moon is revolving around the Earth so its focii must be Earth

So here correct answer would be

2) Earth

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

Traveling with an initial speed of a car accelerates at along a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of Also, t

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A) 30 s, 792 m

B) 10.28 s, 4108.2 m = 4.11 km

Explanation:

A) Traveling with an initial speed of 70 km/h, a car accelerates at 6000km/h^2 along a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of 120 km/h? Also, through what distance does the car travel during this time?

Using the equations of motion.

v = u + at

v = final velocity = 120 km/h

u = initial velocity = 70 km/h

a = acceleration = 6000 km/h²

t = ?

120 = 70 + 6000t

6000t = 50

t = (50/6000) = 0.0083333333 hours = 30 seconds.

Using the equations of motion further,

v² = u² + 2ax

where x = horizontal distance covered by the car during this time

120² = 70² + 2×6000×x

12000x = 120² - 70² = 9500

x = (9500/12000) = 0.79167 km = 791.67 m = 792 m

B) At t = 0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When t = 3 s, bullet B is fired upward with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s. Determine the time t, after A is fired, as to when bullet B passes bullet A. At what altitude does this occur?

Bullet A is fired upwards with velocity 450 m/s

Bullet B is fired upwards with velocity 600 m/s too

Using the equations of motion, we can obtain a relation for when vertical distance covered by the bullets and time since they were fired.

y = ut + ½at²

For the bullet A

u = initial velocity = 450 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = 450t - 4.9t² (eqn 1)

For the bullet B, fired 3 seconds later,

u = initial velocity = 600 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

t = T

y = 600T - 4.9T²

At the point where the two bullets pass each other, the vertical heights covered are equal

y = y

450t - 4.9t² = 600T - 4.9T²

But, note that, since T starts reading, 3 seconds after t started reading,

T = (t - 3) s

450t - 4.9t² = 600T - 4.9T²

450t - 4.9t² = 600(t-3) - 4.9(t-3)²

450t - 4.9t² = 600t - 1800 - 4.9(t² - 6t + 9)

450t - 4.9t² = 600t - 1800 - 4.9t² + 29.4t - 44.1

600t - 1800 - 4.9t² + 29.4t - 44.1 - 450t + 4.9t² = 0

179.4t - 1844.1 = 0

t = (1844.1/179.4) = 10.28 s

Putting this t into the expression for either of the two y's, we obtain the altitude at which this occurs.

y = 450t - 4.9t²

= (450×10.28) - (4.9×10.28×10.28)

= 4,108.2 m = 4.11 km

Hope this Helps!!!!

The graph represents the force applied on an 3.00kg crate while it moved 5.0m. A. How much total work is done on the crate? B. I

jeka57 [31]

a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.

first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15

second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20

total work done: 35 J

b. the force was first applied = 6 N

F = m.a

a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²

vf²=vi²+2as

vf²=6²+2.2.5

vf²=56

vf=7.5 m/s

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

$v=u+at$

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

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

$\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2$

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec² [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

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

$\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576$

$\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}$

$\Rightarrow t^2=36$

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.
