Answer:

The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is 60 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial horizontal velocity of the projectile, Vₓ = 30 m/s

time of the motion of the projectile, t = 2 s

The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is given by the range of the projection;

X = Vₓt

X = 30 x 2

X = 60 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is 60 m

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. Just because it is small doesn't mean it needs to be excluded. If that were the case I would've been out of my friend group a while ago

2. Look at it it's fricking beautiful (see attachment)

3. It is just a great planet I don't think there needs to be any reason given I meannn you agree?

4. There's no other reason needed it's fricking gorgeous and amazing it needs no other reason. It needs a freaking

PLEASE HELPPP ASAP
vodomira [7]

Answer:

F = 12.5N

Explanation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

F = ma

F = (2.5kg) x (5m/s^2)

F = 12.5N

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

In which mechanical test is a specimen deformed with a gradually increasing load that is applied uniaxially along the long axis
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Compression Test

Explanation:

The Specimen is undergoing a compression test. It is similar to tensile test with the difference that the force is compressive and applied along the direction of stress. Both Tensile and compression tests are performed on Universal Testing machine. Compression test is done to determine the product's reaction when it is compressed, squashed and crushed.
