An object 1,000 km above earths surface would accelerate

1 answer:

5 0

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of the gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The formula is ‘the change in velocity= gravity x time’ The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[1]

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m

Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are $v_f\ and\ v_s$ . The kinetic energies of father and son are $K_f\ and\ K_s$ . The mass of father and son are $m_f\ and\ m_s$

(a) According to given conditions, $K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s$

And $m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f$

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

$K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2$ .............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

$K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2$ ...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

$\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}$ ..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

$\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}$

$v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2$

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

$v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s$

(b) Put the value of $v_f$ in equation (3) as :

$v_s=7.09\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The lungs art part of The excretory system....
somatic nervous system is ..... autonomic nervous system....

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn

vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is : A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.
