Answer:

the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. ... This means rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, your pet dog, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

to me, this means we would proabaly be sucked into outer space and could die if no astronaut gear is on

An RV is traveling 60 km/h along a highway. A boy sitting near the driver of the RV throws a ball to another boy at the back end

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Speed of the ball relative to the boys: 25 km/h

Speed of the ball relative to a stationary observer: 35 km/h

Explanation:

The RV is travelling at a velocity of

$v_{RV}=+60 km/h$

Here we have taken the direction of motion of the RV as positive direction.

The boy sitting near the driver throws the ball back with speed of 25 km/h, so the velocity of the ball in the reference frame of the RV is

$v_B = -25 km/h$

with negative sign since it is travelling in the opposite direction relative to the RV. Therefore, this is the velocity measured by every observer in the reference frame of the RV: so the speed measured by the boys is

v = 25 km/h

Instead, a stationary observer outside the RV measures a velocity of the ball given by the algebraic sum of the two velocities:

v = +60 km/h + (-25 km/h) = +35 km/h

So, he/she measures a speed of 35 km/h.

Lukalu is rappelling off a cliff. The parametric equations that describe her horizontal and vertical position as a function of t

andre [41]

Answer:

2.5 s, 5 m

Explanation:

The equations for the horizontal and vertical position of Lukalu are:

$x(t) = 8t\\y(t) = -16t^2 + 100$

we can find the time it takes her to reach the ground by requiring that the vertical position becomes zero:

y(t) = 0

So we find:

$0=-16t^2 +100\\16t^2 = 100\\t=\sqrt{\frac{100}{16}}=2.5 s$

The horizontal distance of Lukalu instead will be given by the equation for the horizontal position, substituting t = 2.5 s:

$x=8t = 8 \cdot 2.5 s =5 m$

A 35kg cannonball sits at rest on a flat level surface. What is the normal force exerted on the cannon ball. Use -9.8 m/s2 for a

Tom [10]

Answer:

a) N = 343 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember Newton's third law, which tells us that the force acting on a body is equal to the normal reaction force of equal magnitude but acting in the opposite direction.

$N=m*g$

where:

m = mass = 35 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$N = 35*9.8\\N= 343 [N]$
