Rest and motion are relative terms why?

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

A student has a mass (including clothes and shoes) of 65.0 kg. She drinks a 12 oz. can of soda, with a nutritional energy conten

Stella [2.4K]

She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J, m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g, Efficiency = 20 %

GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

g represents the gravity,

h represents the height.

585760 = 65000 $\times$ 9.8 $\times$ h

h = 0.92 m.

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is: $w_{c} =m_{c} g$ and maximum tension is $T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N$

total mass and weight is :

$M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg$

$w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N$

∑ $F_{y} =ma_{y}$

$T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}$

$a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg$

$=0.645m/s^2$

maximum acceleration

$a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0$

using $y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2$

to solve for t

$t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }$

$t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s$

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

disa [49]

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).

Retrograde. Planets seem to move forward and then backward sometimes. This is really because we pass them as we move in our orbit but astronomers wanted to try to describe the solar system with earth at the center so elaborate models were employed.
