A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15 m/s

A velocity vs time graph what is the acceleration of the object
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

If the object is moving with an acceleration of +4 m/s/s (i.e., changing its velocity by 4 m/s per second), then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s/s.

What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision
barxatty [35]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not

Explanation:

Let's define the two types of collision:

- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:

1) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved

Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.

- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:

1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved

In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.

A small car of mass m and a large car of mass 4m drive along a highway at constant speeds VS and VL. They approach a curve of ra
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

v_S=\sqrt{2}v_L

Explanation:

The acceleration experimented while taking a curve is the centripetal acceleration a=\frac{v^2}{r}. Since a_S=2a_L, we have that: \frac{v_S^2}{r_S}=\frac{2v_L^2}{r_L}

They take the same curve, so we have: r_S=r_L=R

Which means: v_S^2=2v_L^2

And finally we obtain: v_S=\sqrt{2}v_L
