Answer:

A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work on it.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 2.09-kg object is at +2.97 m, a 2.93-kg object is at +2.53 m, a 2.57-kg

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x = 0 m

y = 1.02 m

Explanation:

M1 = 2.09 kg

y1 = 2.97 m

M2 = 2.93 kg

y2 = 2.53 m

M3 = 2.57 kg

y3 = 0 m

M4 = 3.92 kg

y5 = -0.496 m

since all objects are situated on the Y-axis, this means the x coordinate of the center of mass is 0.

To find the y coordinate of the center of mass, we apply the equation below.

sum of moment of the objects about the origin = moment of the total mass of objects about the center of mass

M1.y1 + M2.y2 + M3.y3 + M4.y4 = Mt.Y

(2.09 x 2.97) + (2.93 x 2.53) + (2.57 x 0) + (3.92 x -0.496) = (2.09 + 2.93 + 2.57 + 3.92) Y

11.68 = 11.51 Y

Y = 11.68 / 11.51 = 1.02 m

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters

amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

$a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)$

$a = 7.36 m/s^2$

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

$y = 10 m$

now by kinematics we have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2$

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

now the distance moved by it

$x = v_x t$

$x = 24.5 (1.65)$

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

final velocity in Y direction

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)$

$v_y = 12.14 m/s$

now magnitude of velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}$

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}$

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Please help I'm stuck on this question

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

increase

decrease

Explanation:

using formula

Vt=mg/6πηr

so if m increases V increases

r is the denominator so if r increases V decreases
