Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a = 0.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})

\omega = 2.10 rad/s

so final tangential speed is given as

v = r\omega

v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}

a = 0.53 m/s^2

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car
gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

  • V_i = 110m/s
  • V_f = 80m/s
  • t_i = 0s
  • t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²

Why is the spectrum of a star called an absorption spectrum?
ladessa [460]
It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum

1. The successful launch of communication satellites

2.More people will be interested in studying science

But science would probably be focused on space exploration and there will probably be less scientists in other fields such as chemistry.
