Since the Sun has more mass, why do objects on earth not move closer to the Sun instead of staying put on Earth?

Answer:

Because the Earth has it's own gravity that keeps us put, and we also have the moon.

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta

V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})

V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s

V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta

V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})

V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{A}=V_{Ax}t

x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)

x_{A}=6.46m

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s

V_{By}=-2.195 m/s

y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}

-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}

t= -0.9159s    or   t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{B}=V_{Bx}t

x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)

x_{B}=9.77m

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Which of the following properties of water help to explain why icebergs float in the ocean?
crimeas [40]
The reason why icebergs float in the ocean has to do with temperature. Icebergs are colder than the ocean water and therefore the cold water is less dense than the warm water and this causes the Iceberg to float.

The design speed of a multilane highway is 60 mi/hr. What is the minimum stopping sight distance that should be provided on the
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Part a: When the road is level, the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b: When the road has a maximum grade of 4%, the minimum stopping sight distance is 528.19 ft.

Explanation:

Part a

When Road is Level

The stopping sight distance is given as

SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}

Here

  • SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
  • u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
  • t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
  • a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
  • G is the grade of the road, which is this case is 0 as the road is level

Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0)}\\SSD=220.5 +342.86 ft\\SSD=563.36 ft

So the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b

When Road has a maximum grade of 4%

The stopping sight distance is given as

SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}

Here

  • SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
  • u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
  • t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
  • a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
  • G is the grade of the road, which is given as 4% now this can be either downgrade or upgrade

For upgrade of 4%, Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35+0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +307.69 ft\\SSD=528.19 ft

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% upgrade is 528.19 ft.</em>

For downgrade of 4%, Substituting values

                              SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +387.09 ft\\SSD=607.59ft

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% downgrade is 607.59 ft.</em>

As the minimum distance is required for the 4% grade road, so the solution is 528.19 ft.
