An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Engular velocity: $w=1,24*10^{-3}/s$

Linear velocity: $V=7905 m/s$

The time it takes:

$t=5060s=84min$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1) $a=r*w^{2}$

Solving for w:

(2) $w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }$

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3) $w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s$

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

$V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s$

The perimeter of the orbit is:

$P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m$

The time it takes:

$t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min$

In the eastern US, hurricanesusually form over the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and travel north. When they are over the col

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.

Have a great day!

A vehicle is moving with 20m/s towards the east and another is moving 15m/s towards the west

just olya [345]

Answer:

5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A vehicle is moving with 20m/s towards the east and another is moving 15m/s towards the west.

It is assumed to find the resultant velocity of the vehicle. Let east side is positive and west is negative. So,

$v=v_1+v_2\\\\=20+(-15)\\\\=5\ m/s$

Hence, the resultant velocity of the vehicle is equal to 5 m/s.
