If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant velocity, is it in equilibrium? If a projectile is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s
Irina18 [472]

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant.  Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero.  Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM.  The required answer is: YES.

If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward.  There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity.  Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium.  Too bad.

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?
Natali5045456 [20]
Equation of motion:

y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m

5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}

a = g = 9.81  \frac{m}{ s^{2}}

\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}

1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} =  \sqrt{t^{2}}

<u><em>t = 1.05s</em></u>

How are changes in energy and matter related
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is the speed of light (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Given the huge value of c^2, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.

A golf ball is struck at 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees. What is the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

v_x=37.50

Explanation:

The rectangular components of a vector \vec v having a magnitude v and angle θ are:

v_x=v\cos\theta

v_y=v\sin\theta

The golf ball has an initial speed of 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees.

The variables of the equations have the values:

v = 75 m/s

θ = 60°

Substituting into the formula:

v_x=75\cos 60^\circ

v_x=75\cdot 0.5

v_x=37.5~m/s

Without specifying units and with precision to the hundredths place:

\mathbf{v_x=37.50}

Volcanic belts form along
andre [41]
I believe that the correct answer is c. The boundaries of earth's plates. This is because when the plates move the mantle seeps out through the gaps the previous plate had been at this is also called seafloor spreading because as the mantle seeps up it forms new crust that pushes the other plates further apart
