Answer:

As an object moves faster, its mass increases. ... Because masses approach infinity with increasing speed, it is impossible to accelerate a material object to (or past) the speed of light. To do so would require an infinite force.

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre

Tanya [424]

Answer:

59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

1. 18 mph 327º

Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

Vector notation:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j$

2. 4 mph 60º

Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

Vector notation:

$2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j$

3. Addition:

You add the corresponding components:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j$

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23$

4. Direction:

Use the tangent ratio:

$tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73$

Find the inverse:

arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º

The original kinetic energy will be 0 J and the final kinetic energy will be 7500 J and the amount of work utilized will be similar to the final kinetic energy i.e., 7500 J.

Explanation:

As it is known that the kinetic energy is defined as the energy exhibited by the moving objects. So the kinetic energy is equal to the product of mass and square of the velocity attained by the car. Thus,

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

So the initial kinetic energy will be the energy exerted by the car at the initial state when the initial velocity is zero. Thus the initial kinetic energy will be zero.

The final kinetic energy is

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times 600 \times 5 \times 5$ = 7500 J

As the work done is the energy required to start the car from zero velocity to 5 m/s velocity.

Work done = Final Kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy

Thus the work utilized for moving the car is

Work done = 7500 J - 0 J = 7500 J

Thus, the initial kinetic energy of the car is zero, the final kinetic energy is 7500 J and the work utilized by the car is also 7500 J.

Gravity can be described as (2 points)

ladessa [460]

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.

Consider the following examples of homeostatic regulation: In response to an increase in plasma K concentrations, secretion of t

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Both are examples of negative feedback regulation.

Explanation:

The maintenance of the homeostasis in the body is controlled by the the feedback regulation of the body. Two main types of feedback regulation are positive regulation and negative regulation.

The negative regulation occurs when the final product of the reactions inhibits the further secretion of that product. In the given examples of aldosterone and calcium mechanism, the secretion of aldosterone and calcium decreases as the normal levels are acheived in the body.

Thus, the answer is both are examples of negative feedback regulation.
