A person gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. The cart travels for
mash [69]

Answer:

Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Explanation:

  • Once released from the initial push, in absence of friction, the shopping cart would continue moving forward at a constant speed forever.
  • As it would move at a constant speed, no net force would be acting on it.
  • So, if it is gradually slowing, there must  be a net force producing an acceleration in a direction opposite to the movement.
  • This force is the kinetic friction force, and is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.
  • As any friction force, opposes to the relative movement between the cart and the horizontal floor, which means that is directed backward.
  • This is consistent with the direction of the acceleration of the cart.

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m

So the initial total energy is

E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

so its gravitational potential energy is

U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J

And since it hits the ground with speed

v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s

it also has kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic
Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
