On Earth, how can you tell up from down?

2 answers:

4 0

Well if your talking ABOUT the earth then they use satellite imagery and scan the earth, and I’m pretty sure they would know the bottom from the top because of the contents and such. But when i think about it there really isn’t a up and down on the earth cause it’s a sphere, or maybe the moon is the bottom and the sun is the top.

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is $6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, $v_{x} = 1 ft/s$

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

$20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}$

$l^{2}= 500$

Now,

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 500$ (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}$

where

$\frac{dx}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

$v_{x}$ = velocity along the x-axis.

$v_{y}$ = velocity along the y-axis

$xv_{x} = -yv_{y}$

$v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s$

$|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s$

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

$v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay$

$(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay$

$0.25 = 2ay$

$\frac{0.25}{2y} = a$

$a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.8×104 m/s when at a distance

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

In circular or elliptical orbits , the angular momentum is conserved because torque is zero.

mr₁v₁ = mr₂v₂

2.2 x 10¹¹ x 1.8 x 10⁴ = 4.2 x 10¹⁰ v₂

v₂ = 9.42 x 10⁴ m/s.

= 9.4 x 10⁴ m/s

The mass of helium gas in a balloon is ________.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

Mass of an object is defined as the amount of matter contained in it. In this case, the mass of helium gas in a balloon is the amount of matter inside the balloon. It is independent of the outside condition.

Hence, out of 4 options, the correct option is (b).
