Answer:

the earth gravity

Explanation:

Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us.

A material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a _____.
notsponge [240]

Answer: The correct answer is "metalloid".

Explanation:

Metal is the material which can conduct electricity as it contains free electrons. It is good conductor of electricity. For example, copper, silver.

Metal can be drawn into wires. This property of material is called ductile.

Metal can be beaten into sheets. This property of material is called malleable.

Non metal is the material which cannot conduct electricity as it does not contain free electrons. They are poor conductor of electricity. For example, oxygen.

Metalloid: It has properties of both metals and non metal. It is electrical conductor. For example, semiconductor- silicon and germanium. But they cannot be pulled into wires.

Therefore, a material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a metalloid.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

A uniform disk has a moment of inertia that is (1/2)MR2. A uniform disk of mass 13 kg, thickness 0.3 m, and radius 0.2 m is loca
kicyunya [14]
The angular momentum of an object is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity.
L = Iω
I = 1/2 MR²
I = 1/2 x 13 x (0.2)
I = 1.3

ω = 2π/t
ω = 2π/0.3
ω = 20.9

L = 1.3 x 20.9
= 27.2 kgm²/s

Amy has a mass of 30 kg, and she is riding a skateboard traveling 5 m/s. What is her momentum?
Flauer [41]
Hey there!

So we know that m*v=P.
And in this question m=30
v=5 m/s
P = 30*5 Kgm/s
P = 150 Kgm/s

So, your final answer is 150 Kg.m/s

Hope this helps! :)
