Which best describes a value for density
scoray [572]
Density can be any number, as long as it has the right units.

A unit of density has to be (a unit of mass) divided by (a unit of volume).
The most common one is gram/cm^3.

Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed during the later stages of their descents?
BartSMP [9]
Firstly they have a acceleration downwards due the force downwards due they gravitational field acting on it's mass.
as it falls it gains speed, and as it gains speed the air Resistance which is a upward force actin on the drop increases, eventually the rain drop's upward and downward forces are balanced and hence there is no RESULTANT force therefore no acceleration, so the drops falls in constant speed (terminal verlocity is a better term)

Are you wondering that why is the raindrop still moving given that the forces are balanced? If so according to Newton's 1st law an object will keep moving or Remain at rest until a RESULTANT force acts on it.

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the flo
yuradex [85]

Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37
