Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why, then, doesn’t a heavy object fall faster than a ligh

t object?

Its becuase weight and mass are different. Even if an object weighs more than another object it might not have more mass than the other object.

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.550 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
olga55 [171]
Let u = upward initial speed of the flea.

At the maximum height of h = 0.550 m, the vertical velocity is v = 0.
Therefore, from the formula
 v² = u² - 2gh,
obtain
0 = u² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(0.55 m) 
u² = 10.78 m²/s²
 u = 3.283 m/s

Answer: The initial upward speed is 3.28 m/s (nearest thousandth)

PLEASE HELP !!!
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is <u>D) Alpha and Gamma</u>

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A <u>transmutation</u> is the <u>conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.</u>

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.

A 2000 kg truck is traveling at 5 m/s and collides with a 1000 kg car that is not moving. After the collision, the 2000 truck st
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s

A bus is designed to draw its power from a rotating flywheel that is brought up to 3000 rpm by an electric motor. The flywheel i
Arada [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of rotational kinetic energy. Once this energy is found we will proceed to find the time from the definition of the power, which indicates the change of energy over time. Let's start with the kinetic energy of the rotating flywheel is

E_r = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Here

I = moment of inertia

\omega = Angular velocity

Here we have that,

\omega = 3000\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 314.159rad/s

Replacing the value of the moment of inertia for this object we have,

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{MR^2}{2})\omega^2

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2000(0.5)^2}{2})(314.159)^2

E_r = 1.233698*10^7J

The expression for average power is

P = \frac{E_r}{\Delta t}

\Delta t = \frac{E_r}{P}

\Delta t = \frac{1.233698*10^7}{20*10^3}

\Delta t = 616.8s \approx 620s

Therefore the correct answer is 620s.

What does it mean when work is positive?
Degger [83]

Answer:

To have a positive job, the two vectors must have the same direction

Explanation:

Work is a scalar defined as the scalar product of two vectors, the froce and the displacement. To have a positive job, the two vectors must have  

collinear and that their arrows point in the same direction.

You can also appreciate this from the work equation

       W = F. r

bold indicate vector

      W = F  r cos θ

 

With θ the angle between force and displacement
