It would most likely be harder to breathe and we would probably not get enough sun

If the earth just doubles its size in an instant, the oxygen present in the atmosphere could be much larger. Due to these, we could theorize that insects could grow much larger because the size of their body is heavily dependent on the maximum amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere. Air pressure also increases thus those aerial enthusiasts would enjoy their professions.

Which forces tend to slow down an object

laila [671]

The answer is "friction and air resistance" gravity does some of the work by keeping the object from floating away, but friction and air resistance does the biggest part. Friction is how rough the ground it meaning on tile, dirt, grass, etc... that would slow down the object and air resistance is the gravity pushing on the object also making it stop.

Hope this helps!

A baseball is batted. It's a long fly ball. 4 seconds later the ball reaches the outfield 100 meters away and returns to the hei

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

First we should define the variables

T=4

Dx = 100

ay=-9.8

ax=0

We can use formula 1 from the BIG 5

x=(v+v0)t/2

By plugging in our variables we can get 100=4(v+v0)/2

Which is 50=v+v0

v=v0 since horizontal acceleration always equals zero

so 2v0 = 50

v0 = 25

Answer:

spring deflection is x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with Newton's second law. Let's analyze the situation the car goes down a road and finds a dip (hollow) that we will assume that it has a circular shape in the lower part has the car weight, elastic force and a centripetal acceleration

Let's write the equations on the Y axis of this description

Fe - W = m $a_{c}$

Where Fe is elastic force, W the weight and $a_{c}$ the centripetal acceleration. The elastic force equation is

Fe = - k x

4 (k x) - mg = m v² / R

The four is because there are four springs, R is theradio of dip

We can calculate the deflection (x) of the springs

x = (m v2 / R + mg) / 4

x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, how many seconds is it in the air?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.3 seconds

Explanation:

time in air = 2(v)/g

2(100sin(37))/9.8

=12.28 seconds
