Why aren't humans as evolved as we think we are?

bezimeni [28]

Well there is many ways we are not evolved as much as we think we are from being we die from a lot of diseases to world hunger and other things to be honest humans are far from being really evolved in life we really need to focus on cures and solving world hunger and fighting among ourselves

Hope this helps

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 34 m/s to 17 m/s in 6 seconds. What is the automobiles acceleration?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

v denotes final velocity
a denotes acceleration
u denotes initial velocity
t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)

Un the way to the moon, the Apollo astro-

kherson [118]

Answer:

Distance = 345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

$r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]$

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

$F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2} } \\$

$F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a} }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]$

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

$G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2} } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} }$

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

$\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m} )^{2} } = \frac{7.36*10^{22} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17} \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0$

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

$r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}\\ where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) } }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]$

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

<u>Second part</u>

<u />

The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:

re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]

Now the acceleration can be found as follows:

$a = G*\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e} ^{2} } \\a = 6.67*10^{11} *\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(345.72*10^{6})^{2} } \\a=3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]$

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.

Crazy boy [7]

A) Work energy relation;
Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
F = 900/0.04
= 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
= 22500/(5×10^-3)
= 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds
