Answer:

A Bicycle

Explanation:

A Space shuttle accelerating because the Earth pulls on it through the gravitational force.

A Truck is accelerating because acceleration is necessary for an object to change direction.

A car is accelerating because it is speeding up unexpectedly?????

A 1.2 kg ball drops vertically onto a floor from a height of 32 m, and rebounds with an initial speed of 10 m/s.

iren [92.7K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1.2 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 10 m/s

Height of the floor from ground, h = 32 m

(a) Let v is the final speed of the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 32}$

v = -25.04 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

The impulse acting on the ball is equal to the change in momentum. It can be calculated as :

$J=m(v-u)$

$J=1.2\times (-25.04-10)$

J = -42.048 kg-m/s

(b) Time of contact, t = 0.02 s

Let F is the average force on the floor from by the ball. Impulse acting on an object is given by :

$J=\dfrac{F}{t}$

$F=J\times t$

$F=42.048\times 0.02$

F = 0.8409 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Pigments are always made of natural materials

Kobotan [32]

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, the answer to the given statement is FALSE. Pigments are NOT always made of natural materials. Pigments can either be man-made or the one that occurred naturally as what you see in our environment. Hope this helps.

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of

frosja888 [35]

1. 27.3 m/s

The velocity of the gazelle at any time is given by:

$v=u+at$

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have:

u = 0 (the gazelle starts from rest)

$a=4.2 m/s^2$

t = 6.5 s

Substituting the data, we find the gazelle's top speed:

$v=0+(4.2)(6.5)=27.3 m/s$

2. 3.8 s

The distance covered by the gazelle is

d = 30 m

We know that the gazelle accelerates during the first part of the motion and then it continues at constant speed. We need to find first if the gazelle completes the race during the first part of its motion (accelerated motion); to do this, we can calculate what would be the distance covered by the gazelle before reaching the top speed, after t = 6.5 s:

$d'=\frac{1}{2}at^2 = \frac{1}{2}(4.2)(6.5)^2=88.7 m$

Which is larger than 30 m: this means that the gazelle covers the 30 m during its accelerated motion. Therefore, we can use again the equation:

$d=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

And substituting d = 30 m, we find the time:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(30)}{4.2}}=3.8 s$

3. 10.6 s

In this case, the distance the gazelle must cover is 200 m.

We know that in the first 6.5 s, the gazelle covers a distance of 88.7 m.

In the second part of the motion, the gazelle continues at its top speed, which is:

v = 27.3 m/s

The gazelle still have to cover a distance of

$d' = 200-88.7 =111.3 m$

Therefore, the time taken to cover this distance is

$t'=\frac{d'}{v}=\frac{111.3}{27.3}=4.1 s$

So, the total time the gazelle needs to cover 200 m is

t = 6.5 + 4.1 = 10.6 s

How does convection play a role in hurricanes

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Convection is what keeps the hurricane going in till the storm hits land.

Explanation:

Convection is the warm, moist current that rises above sea level and as it cools into water vapor it releases energy which a hurricane runs on. Once the hurricane hits land it continues to lose energy to keep it going because there's no convection from the sea currents rising above sea level to release energy.

Hope this helps.
