The force of gravity decreases at a constant rate as we move away from a planet like Jupiter. True or false

1 answer:

4 0

True because when going to Earth from a planet let's say, gravity increase and farther from Earth gravity decreases because the closer you get to the core of Earth, the more it increases

How was the solar system formed? Please explain.

Scientists believe that thesolar system<span> was </span>formed<span> when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust.</span>

The eagle drops the trout a height of 6.1 m the fish travels 7.9 m horizontaly before hitting the water what is the velocity of

Semenov [28]

The velocity of the eagle is 7.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the fish is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal velocity of the fish is equal to the horizontal velocity of the eagle

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, using the following suvat equation:

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

where:

s = 6.1 m is the vertical displacement of the fish

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the fish

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the fish:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.1)}{9.8}}=1.12 s$

Now we know that during this time, the fish travels a horizontal distance of

x = 7.9 m

Therefore, the horizontal velocity of the fish is

$v_x = \frac{x}{t}=\frac{7.9}{1.12}=7.0 m/s$

And therefore, this is the initial velocity of the eagle.

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

How many components do vectors have, and what are they?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

There are two components for a two-dimensional coordinate system/vector.

Explanation:

For two-dimensional vectors, such as velocity, acceleraton, etc, there are two components, the x- and y-components.

These components could be rotated or translated, depending on the coordinate system.

Instead of rectangular cartesian system, the components could also be in the form of polar coordinates, such as radius and theta (angle).

For three-dimensional vectors, such as velocity in space, there are three components, in various coordinate systems.
