What motivates you to learn physics?

Physics

I guess it's a little different for everyone. Physics ultimately is the study of the universe and every component of it, and physics studies why things are the way they are and characteristics that control the way things act. 

For me, I am motivated by my natural curiosity: "why is the sky blue?"... that sorta thing. I want to know the reasons behind phenomena like why the earth spins and how fast a kettle boils if it has X litres of water. Physics, unlike any other discipline, can explain this sort of thing. And for me that's so valuable as in my opinion the way to truly understand the world we live in is to immerse in the physics behind the way things are. 

Curiosity and a desire to know why is arguably the best explanation for wanting to learn physics. 

As someone in grade 12 doing physics I can tell you that studying physics is extremely rewarding yet extremely challenging and requires a lot of effort to understand concepts. Good luck and any questions PM me :D

jack be nimble jack be quick jack jumped over the candlestick with a velocity of 5.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees to horizont
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The vertical component of Jack's initial velocity is:

5.0

⋅

sin

30

∘

=

5.0

⋅

1

2

=

2.5

m/s

With gravitational acceleration

9.8

m/s

2

, he will reach the highest point of his trajectory after:

2.5

9.8

≈

0.255

s

The average vertical component of his velocity in that

0.255

s

will be:

1

2

⋅

2.5

=

1.25

m/s

So the highest point of his trajectory will be:

0.255

⋅

1.25

≈

0.32

m

So he will pass approximately

7

cm

above the top of the candle.

The horizontal component of his velocity will be a constant:

5.0

⋅

cos

30

∘

=

5.0

√

≈

4.33

m/s

So Jack's trajectory will be substantially longer than it is high and he will spend little time anywhere near above the candle.

PLZ HELP ON #22-26!!!! <br><br>Please explain why and how you got your answer.

22. a - (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2d) 
a = (0 - 23^2)/(170) 
a = -3.1 m/s^2

23. Find the time (t) to reach 33 m/s at 3 m/s^2
33-0/t = 3 
33 = 3t 
t = 11 sec to reach 33 m/s^2
Find the av velocuty: 33+0/2 = 16.5 m/s
Dist = 16.5 * 11 = 181.5 meters to each 33m/s speed. Runway has to be at least this long. 

24. The sprinter starts from rest. The average acceleration is found from: 
(Vf)^2 = (Vi)^2 = 2as ---> a = (Vf)^2 - (Vi)^2/2s = (11.5m/s)^2-0/2(15.0m) = 4.408m/s^2 estimated: 4.41m/s^2
The elapsed time is found by solving
Vf = Vi + at ----> t = vf-vi/a = 11.5m/s-0/4.408m/s^2 = 2.61s

25. Acceleration of car = v-u/t = 0ms^-1-21.0ms^-1/6.00s = -3.50ms^-2
S = v^2 - u^2/2a = (0ms^-1)^2-(21.0ms^-1)^2/2*-3.50ms^-2 = 63.0m 

26. Assuming a constant deceleration of 7.00 m/s^2
final velocity, v = 0m/s 
acceleration, a = -7.00m/s^2
displacement, s - 92m 
Using v^2 = u^2 - 2as 
0^2 - u^2 + 2 (-7.00) (92) 
initial velocity, u = sqrt (1288) = 35.9 m/s 
This is the speed pf the car just bore braking. 

I hope this helps!!

There are_____ atoms are in every living things.
tester [92]

When atoms, the basic units of chemical elements, combine into chemical compounds, they form molecules. Organisms have many different kinds of molecules, from water and simple salts to complex molecules such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). One protein, called hemoglobin, carries oxygen in the blood and is what makes blood red. Hemoglobin contains atoms of six different elements—carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and iron.
