Answer:

The meteor accelerates

Explanation:

Let's see the options:

- the meteor travels downward relative to Earth,  that is, from the sky to the Earth.

- The meteor is affected by Earth’s gravitational force field, which attracts it to Earth.

- As a consequence of the previous item, it suffers acceleration (Earth gravitational acceleration), and then, its velocity is not constant.

Replacing an object attached to a spring with an object having 14 the original mass will change the frequency of oscillation of
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

<em>The frequency changes by a factor of  0.27.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The frequency of an object with mass m attached to a spring is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

where f is the frequency

k is the spring constant of the spring

m is the mass of the substance on the spring.

If the mass of the system is increased by 14 means the new frequency becomes

f_{n} = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{14m} }

simplifying, we have

f_{n} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{14} } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

f_{n} = \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

if we divide this final frequency by the original frequency, we'll have

==> \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  ÷  \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

==> \frac{1}{3.742*2\pi  } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }  x  2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

==> 1/3.742 = <em>0.27</em>

Is the square root of gravity equal to pi ?
Kisachek [45]
This is more to do with mathematics than physics, 
but the square root of gravity on its own means nothing, its simply a acceleration due to gravity near the earth surface.
trying to find the speed of a falling object is a simple conservation of energy problem, then it has a meaning in that context.
however standing alone, it has no bearing to the real world. it is simply a  mathematical term or construct we use in order to explain the real world. you see this all over the place in physics, you just have to get used to it.
for example:
mv^2=mhg
v^2=gh
v= SQRT(gh)
=SQRT(g)SQRT(h)
so SQRT means nothing on its own, simply a mathematical term to used to calculate the effects and actions in the real world.
i cant really compare it to Pi, sorry 
but i hope you have a better understanding :)

A 0.30 kg ball of putty is thrown at a stationary 1.2 kg cart. The ball of putty is initially moving with a speed of 6.0 m/s. Th
Lemur [1.5K]
<span>In order to determine the speed of the entire assembly, we employ conservation of momentum. Momentum p = mv where m is the object's mass and v is the velocity.
   The putty ball's initial momentum p1 = 0.3kg*6m/s = 1.8 kg*m/s
   That momentum is conserved, so the momentum of the new system having mass 0.3 kg + 1.2 kg = 1.5 kg is:
   1.8 kg*m/s = 1.5kg*v. Solving for v, we find that the velocity is 1.2 meters/second.</span>

The Achilles tendon connects the muscles in your calf to the back of your foot. When you are sprinting, your Achilles tendon alt
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a)5mm

b)3.3%

Explanation:

first note down the what's given

Y_{tendon} = 0.15x10^{10} N/m^{2}

Area=A= 1.1x10^{-4} m^{2}

Mass of the runner=m_{r}=70kg

Fmax= 8 F (since tendon can stretch 8 times of runner's weight)

= 8 m_{r}g=8 x 70 x 9.8=> 5488N

L=15cm=> 0.15m

a)We know that, Y={Fmax.L}/AΔL

YAΔL=Fmax. L

ΔL=\frac{Fmax L}{YA} =\frac{5488*0.15}{0.15x10^{10}x1.1x10^{-4}  }

ΔL=4.99x10^{-3} m => 5mm

b) L=15cm= 150mm

Fractional change can be determined by,

(ΔL/L) *100

=\frac{4.99}{150} *100

=3.33%
