Answer: The work is negative

Explanation: The work is defined as the movement done by a force.

In this case, becuse the motocycle is driving upward in a inclinated ramp, the force of gravity will pull downwards, in the oposite direction of wich the motocycle is moving, this means that the work is negative, this means that the force is oposing to the motion of the motocycle and the motocycle needs to cancel this negative work in order to move.

Negative - when the motorcycle displacement has a component in the opposite direction of the given force, that force is doing negative work on the motorcycle.

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s

professor190 [17]

Answer:

955.36 seconds ≈ 16 minutes

Explanation:

Power(P) is the rate of doing work(W)

That is, P = W/t, where t is the time.

multipying both sides with 't' and dividing with 'P', we get: t=W/P

Here, W = 5.35 x 10^10 J and P = 5.6 x 10^7 W ( 1 W = 1 J/s).

Therefore , on dividing W with P, we get 955.36 seconds.

What method has detected the most extrasolar planets so far?
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Answer: The Transit  method</h2>

Detecting extrasolar planets by direct observation (with a telescope) is a complicated task. This is because any planet constitutes an extremely dim light source compared to the star around which it orbits.

So, to detect this extremely dim source is quite difficult due to the glare of the star's light that dulls it.

In this sense, scientists and astronomers have made several methods to find these extrasolar planets, among which the most successful has been the transit method.

This method is based on <u>astronomical transit</u>, a phenomenon in which a body (a planet in this case) passes in front of a larger one (the star), blocking (eclipsing) its vision to some extent.

It should be noted that this is the method currently used in the search for extrasolar planets. Space agencies such as ESA (Europe) and NASA (USA) have put into orbit satellites with extremely sensitive photometric sensors to observe even the smallest variations of intensity of a star due to the passage of a planet.

Which of the following statements is TRUE in regards to Signal #2?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

2) Signal #2 is a digital signal that transmits signals in segments/intervals.

Explanation:

Signals are form of information propagating from the source to a display unit for appropriate interpretation. It can be either in a digital or analogue form.

A digital signal is a definite signal which is discrete in time and amplitude. It is mostly in the form of codes obtained from set of values. Graphically it transmits in the form of 1 and 0, showing a point of maximum amplitude (1) and minimum amplitude (0).

Analog signal is continuous signal describing the variation of two variables with respect to time.
