The Hubble Space Telescope is a joint ESA/NASA project and was launched in 1990 by the Space Shuttle mission STS-31 into a low-Earth orbit 569 km above the ground. During its lifetime Hubble has become one of the most important science projects ever. Hope this helps! ~ Autumn :)
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.
Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
Answer:
<em>v = 381 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Linear Speed</u>
The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:
Where:
x = Distance traveled
t = Time needed to travel x
We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.
The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:
Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:
The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:
The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:
Thus the time is:
t = 0.0016 s
Thus the speed of the bullet is:
v = 381 m/s
Yes the Earth is bigger than the Moon.
The moon is one-quarter the size of Earth.
