A rock is thrown across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 8m/s. Which statement best describes the motion of the rock?

Physics

Answer:

Option C: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop"

Explanation:

Since this is a real event, and not an ideal situation where there is no friction forces acting between the frozen pond and the rock, there is going to exist some force of dynamic friction (even small) acting between them. One can look up coefficients of dynamic friction between similar objects, and realize that some small force will be acting as the rock slides on the surface of the pond. That force acts always opposite the direction of movement, therefore decelerating the rock. The rock's speed will continue reducing in magnitude until it eventually stops.

Then, the selected answer is: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop."

A child in a tree house uses a rope attached to a basket to lift a 24 N dog upward through a distance of 4.9 m into the house.
jenyasd209 [6]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

117.6 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Force of the dog is 24 N
  • Distance upward is 4.9 m

We are required to calculate the work done

  • Work done is the product of force and distance
  • That is; Work done = Force × distance
  • It is measured in Joules.

In this case;

Force applied is equivalent to the weight of the dog.

Work done = 24 N × 4.9 m

                  = 117.6 Joules

Hence, the work done in lifting the dog is 117.6 Joules

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop, IR =  E- V  

                                                    IR = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

IR = V

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

What combination of variables will make an experiment the most reliable
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combination of two controlled variables will make an experiment the most reliable.

Variables are the values that we take under any circumstance while doing an experiment so that we can keep on changing  and get new results at the end.

It is important to have them in pair so that two values can be kept on changing in terms of any constant condition. This will help to get better results in over all experiment data.

In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance
