Arturo dreams about travelling to faraway stars someday. He read that the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.

25 light years away. He also read that the Law of Special Relativity says that the mass of an object increases as its speed increases. It approaches infinity as it approaches the speed of light. How does this most likely affect the goals of the United States space program?

Answer:

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

The contraction of muscles in the stomach walls
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>The contraction of muscles in the stomach walls is called peristalsis. 
Peristalsis works to physically break down food and move it forward.

Hope this works! :)</span>

A warehouse worker is pushing a 90.0-kg crate with a horizontal force of 282 N at a speed of v = 0.850 m/s across the warehouse
Elanso [62]

Answer:

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law at the crate :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

m=90kg :  crate mass

F= 282 N

μk =0.351 :coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Crate weight  (W)

W= m*g

W= 90kg*9.8 m/s²

W= 882 N

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N Formula (2)   

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    , ay=0

N-W = 0

N = W

N = 882 N

We replace the  data in the formula (2)

Ff= μk*N  = 0.351* 882 N

Ff=  309.58 N

We apply the formula (1) in x direction:

∑Fx = m*ax    , ax=0

282 N - 309.58 N = 90*a  

a=  (282 N - 309.58 N ) / (90)

a= - 0.306 m/s²

Kinematics of the crate

Because the crate moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 0.850 m/s

d = 0.75 m

a= - 0.306 m/s²

We replace the  data in the formula (3)

vf²=(0.850)²+(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )

v_{f} = \sqrt{(0.850)^{2} +(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )}

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of higher velocity into a lower layer of lower velocity?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.
