It's B.  Gravity is the force causing the car to accelerate.  As it goes down the hill the gravitational potential energy it had at the top of the hill is converted into kinetic energy.  That is, the car gains kinetic energy as a result of its increased speed, the kinetic energy is not causing the car to accelerate.  It is only a function of its current speed.

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Explain yo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.

An observer standing near a window 5 m high observe that an object falling downwards is passing across the window in 0.5 s. Find
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of

h(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+h_0 which says:

The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.

For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;

g = 10 m/s/s, and

t = .5sec

5=\frac{1}{2}(-10)(.5)^2+h and

5 = -5(.5)² + h and

5 = -5(.25) + h and

5 = -1.25 + h so

h = 6.25

That's how high the window is above the ground.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is  planetary motion</h2>

Explanation:

According to Johannes Kepler, the laws governing planetary motion

states that:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas          

   during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major of its orbit.

Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer

Born: 27 December 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany

Died: 15 November 1630

A worker drops a wrench from the top of a tower 80m tall. What is the velocity when the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

39.6 m/s

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Δy = 80 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (80 m)

v = 39.6 m/s
