Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An aurora is a natural electric phenomenon that creates bright and colorful light displays in the sky. These dramatic and colorful lights are created when electrically charged particles from solar winds enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with gases in the atmosphere.

How long will it take a ball to roll 10 meters along the floor at a speed of 0.5m/s

Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

because m/s=s/t so,

0.5m/s=10m/t

t=10m/0.5m/s

t=5sec

A 2.0-kg ball has a momentum of 25kg.m/s what is the ball's speed?

Reil [10]

We know, momentum = mass * speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg * s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 0.550-kg projectile flying with 335 m/s, 72 meters above the ground?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.550kg

Speed = 335 m/s

Height = 72 meters

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$G.P.E = 0.550 * 9.8 * 72$

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Explanation:

Forces on Block A:

Let the x-axis be (+) towards the right and y-axis be (+) in the upward direction. We can write the net forces on mass $m_A$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = f_N - T = -m_Aa\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Ag = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

Substituting (2) into (1), we get

$\mu_km_Ag - T = -m_Aa \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(3)$

where $f_N= \mu_kN$ , the frictional force on $m_A.$ Set this aside for now and let's look at the forces on $m_B$

Forces on Block B:

Let the x-axis be (+) up along the inclined plane. We can write the forces on $m_B$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = T - m_B\sin30= -m_Ba\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(4)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Bg\cos30 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(5)$

From (5), we can solve for N as

$N = m_B\cos30 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(6)$

Set (6) aside for now. We will use this expression later. From (3), we can see that the tension T is given by

$T = m_A( \mu_kg + a)\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(7)$

Substituting (7) into (4) we get

$m_A(\mu_kg + a) - m_Bg\sin 30 = -m_Ba$

Collecting similar terms together, we get

$(m_A + m_B)a = m_Bg\sin30 - \mu_km_Ag$

$a = \left[ \dfrac{m_B\sin30 - \mu_km_A}{(m_A + m_B)} \right]g\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(8)$

Putting in the numbers, we find that $a = 1.4\:\text{m/s}$ . To find the tension T, put the value for the acceleration into (7) and we'll get $T = 21.3\:\text{N}$ . To find the force exerted by the inclined plane on block B, put the numbers into (6) and you'll get $N = 50.9\:\text{N}$
