Dalvin pushed a 20kg obiect a distance of 10 meters in 30 seconds. He pushed a 40kg object a distance of 5 meters in 30 seconds.

Answer:

Explanation:

The force applied on a body is given as:

Force = mass x acceleration

First scenario;

Mass of object = 20kg

distance = 10m

time = 30s

Second scenario;

Mass of object = 40kg

distance = 5m

time = 30s

speed 1 = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{10}{30}$ = 0.33m/s

speed 2 = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{5}{30}$ = 0.167m/s

The first scenario;

F = 20 a

Second scenario;

F = 40 a

Momentum of 1 = mass x velocity = 20 x 0.33 = 6.6kgm/s

Momentum of 2 = mass x velocity = 40 x 0.167 = 6.68kgm/s

Force = $\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

m(v-u) = momentum

From this scenario, the first body has a lesser force and mass compared to the second one because it has a slightly higher momentum.

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles

givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Andrej [43]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

Which of these is not an example of

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A) The process that give us day and night.

Explanation:

From the answer choices provided the one that is not an example of this is the process that give us day and night. This is because, the day/night cycle occurs as the Earth spins on it's axis. This cause one side of the Earth to be facing the Sun, which is the side that is currently experiencing day time while the other side is experiencing night time. As the Earth spins the cycles repeat. This is not an example of revolving.
