Describe the main differences between the composition of Earth and that of the Sun.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: The earth is comprised of silicate materials as well as metals. The amount of gas is less here because of its location near to the sun. Due to its relative high surface temperature, the gases such as hydrogen and helium gets evaporated and disappears.

Whereas the sun is entirely comprised of hydrogen and helium gas, of which hydrogen is the dominant one. It has an extremely high temperature of about 5500°C.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig

solniwko [45]

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of $\vec r_0=(15.5\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ .

4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of $\vec v_0=\left(3.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\,\vec\imath$ . His position at time $t$ is given by the vector

$\vec r=\vec r_0+\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2$

where $\vec a$ is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time $t$ . He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular $\vec a=-g\,\vec\jmath$ where $g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ . Splitting up the position vector into components, we have $\vec r=r_x\,\vec\imath+r_y\,\vec\jmath$ with

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t$

$r_y=15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

The Coyote hits the ground when $r_y=0$ :

$15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=1.8\,\mathrm s$

4b. Here we evaluate $r_x$ at the time found in (4a).

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.8\,\mathrm s)=6.3\,\mathrm m$

5. The shell has initial position vector $\vec r_0=(1.52\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ , and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of $\vec r=(3500\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath$ .
