12. A volcano erupts on Earth's surface causing a piece of rock with a mass of 95 kg to be ejected from rest to an acceleration

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, D. 902.5 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the rock ejected by the volcano, m = 95 kg

The acceleration of the ejected rock, a 9.5 m/s²

The force acting on an object is defined as the product of the mass and its acceleration. It is given by the relation,

F = m x a

= 95 x 9.5

= 902.5 N

Hence, the force exerted on the rock by the eruption is, F = 902.5 N

Which planet orbits in a different plane than all of the others?

coldgirl [10]

Although they're all 'close', none of the planets orbits in the same plane as any other planet. They're all in slightly different planes.

The farthest out compared to all the others is Pluto, with an orbit inclined about 17 degrees compared to the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit). But Pluto is officially not a planet, so I don't think it's a good answer.

The next greatest inclination compared to Earth's orbit is Mercury. That one is about 7 degrees.

The other six planets are all in different orbital planes inclined less than 7 degrees compared to Earth's orbit.

Question 11 (1 point)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth surface.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where,

G.P.E represents gravitational potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

This ultimately implies that, anytime there is height, the object must have gravitational potential energy.

Hence, an object possesses gravitational potential energy due to its height (position) and the earth's gravitational force.

How do you find the acceleration of an object?

artcher [175]

Rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for acceleration. You can change this formula around to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the acceleration, simply divide the force by the mass of the object being accelerated.

Hope i helped :)

What is the time constant of a series circuit where the capacitor is 0.330μF and the resistor is 10Ω ?

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$\tau=3.3*10^{-6}s$

Explanation:

Take at look to the picture I attached you, using Kirchhoff's current law we get:

$C*\frac{dV}{dt}+\frac{V}{R}=0$

This is a separable first order differential equation, let's solve it step by step:

Express the equation this way:

$\frac{dV}{V}=-\frac{1}{RC}dt$

integrate both sides, the left side will be integrated from an initial voltage v to a final voltage V, and the right side from an initial time 0 to a final time t:

$\int\limits^V_v {\frac{dV}{V} } =-\int\limits^t_0 {\frac{1}{RC} } \, dt$

Evaluating the integrals:

$ln(\frac{V}{v})=e^{\frac{-t}{RC} }$

natural logarithm to both sides in order to isolate V:

$V(t)=ve^{-\frac{t}{RC} }$

Where the term RC is called time constant and is given by:

$\tau=R*C=10*(0.330*10^{-6})=3.3*10^{-6}s$
