Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration:

Fg = m v² / r

Also, the force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states the Fg = mMG / r², where m and M are the masses of the objects, G is the universal constant of gravitation, and r is the distance between the objects.

mMG / r² = m v²/ r

MG / r = v²

This means the square of the orbital velocity is equal to the mass of the sun times the universal constant of gravity divided by the orbital radius.  So whichever planet has the smallest orbital radius will have the highest orbital velocity.  Of the four options, that would be Mercury.

A ball rolls off the edge of a table with a fairly large horizontal velocity. Which of the following statements are true? (Selec
Degger [83]

Answer:

A.The vertical velocity is constantly increasing as the ball falls.

B.The horizontal velocity does not noticeably change as the ball falls.

G.The horizontal velocity does not affect how long it will take the ball to fall to the floor.

H.The velocity vector of the ball changes as it travels through the air.

Explanation:

As the ball is projected horizontally so here the vertical component of the velocity is zero

So the time to reach the ground is given as

H = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

so we will have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

so this is the same time as the ball is dropped from H height

Since there is no force in horizontal direction so its horizontal velocity will always remain constant while vertical velocity will change at constant rate which is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

So overall the velocity vector will change due to net acceleration g

1. Plot the following graphs:
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

(a) The distance-time graph for an object with uniform speed is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(b) The distance-time graph for an object with non-uniform speed is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(c) The velocity-time graph for a car with uniform motion is giving by a horizontal line graph at the speed of constant motion with a zero gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(d) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with uniform acceleration is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(e) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with non-uniform acceleration is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(f) According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest with no motion unless acted by a force, an therefore, will have no motion with time

Two children are pulling on opposite sides of a blanket. The brother is pulling with a force of 3 N. The sister is pulling with
Citrus2011 [14]
Let F1=Force exerted by the brother (+F1)
F1= Force exerted by the sister (-F2)

Fnet=(+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet= (+F1) + (-F2)
Fnet=F1 - F2
Fnet= (+3N)+(-5N)
Fnet= -2N

-F

towards the sister (-F) (greater force applied)
