A ball falls from a shelf. Assuming there is no friction, why is the conservation of mechanical energy independent of mass?(1 po

int)
The displacement of the ball is insignificant compared with Earth's size.

The mass of the ball is insignificant compared with the mass of Earth.

Mass is eliminated when equating elastic potential energy with kinetic energy.

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}

A main difference between asteroids and comets is that asteroids are mostly made of rock and comets are mostly made of metals ca
avanturin [10]

We can confirm that the difference between a comet and an asteroid lies in their compositions and physical characteristics <u>derived from those compositions</u>.

As stated in the question, the main difference between an asteroid and a comet is their compositions, meaning the materials from which they form.

Asteroids are rocky objects which a heavy metal composition, while comets tend to be made of dust, ice, and <em><u>some </u></em>rocky material. Some extra differences include:

  • Comets reflect a steady amount of light (because of their ice composition)
  • Asteroids will <em><u>reflect light at random intervals due to some metals that may be present on their surface</u></em>
  • Comets tend to have a tail made of water from the melting ice when reflecting sunlight.

Therefore, we can confirm that the main difference between asteroids and comets is their compositions, which lead to distinct physical characteristics.

A vector makes an angle of 30° with the positive x-axis.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

W = 112.58 N-unit

Explanation:

Given:

- Force F = 10 N

- Angle Q of force with x axis: 30 degrees

- distance to be moved d = 13 units along + x axis

Find:

Work Done by the force F:

Solution:

The work by force in positive x direction can only be done if the both the direction of distance traveled and direction of force are parallel vectors. Hence we compute the component of Force F in x direction F_x:

                                       F_x = F*cos(Q)

                                       F_x = 10*cos(30)

                                       F_x = 8.66 N

        Hence,

                                  Work Done by force

                                        W = F_x * d

                                       W = 8.66 * 13

                                  W = 112.58 N-unit
