This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.
I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.
Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .
Then . . .
-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.
-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.
So now, here are the masses:
Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .
Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:
Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.
Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.
Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).
Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).
Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.
The data convincingly show that wave frequency does not affect wave speed. An increase in wave frequency caused a decrease in wavelength while the wave speed remained constant. The last three trials involved the same procedure with a different rope tension.
Compression and rarefraction, the other guy's answer it's wrong
Given Information:
Initial speed = u = 3.21 yards/s
Acceleration = α = 1.71 yards/s²
Final speed = v = 7.54 yards/s
Required Information:
Distance = s = ?
Answer:
Distance = s = 13.61
Explanation:
We are given the speeds and acceleration of the runner and we want to find out how much distance he covered before being tackled.
We know from the equations of motion,
v² = u² + 2αs
Where u is the initial speed of the runner, v is the final speed of the runner, α is the acceleration of the runner and s is the distance traveled by the runner.
Re-arranging the above equation for distance yields,
2αs = v² - u²
s = (v² - u²)/2α
s = (7.54² - 3.21²)/2×1.71
s = 46.55/3.42
s = 13.61 yards
Therefore, the runner traveled a distance of 13.61 yards before being tackled.
