If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,
с Stay the same
Explanation:
- The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
- Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
- Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
- The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are force and mass.
- Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
Answer:
k1 + k2
Explanation:
Spring 1 has spring constant k1
Spring 2 has spring constant k2
After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.
x1 = x2
Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are
k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x
k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x
While F = F1 + F2
Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces
F = F1 + F2
F = k1*x + k2*x
= x(k1 + k2)
Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)
Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,
The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
Answer:
The fractional kinetic energy will be lost if the collision is inelastic. In inelastic collision, the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy.
The lost energy became heat and sound energy.
Explanation:
During inelastic collision, the kinetic energy of a moving object does not conserve. It changes into another form of energy such as sound energy and heat energy etc.
For example, when a moving car hit another car or wall etc, the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy. This type of collision is inelastic collision.
Answer:
Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, U = 2.5m/s
Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²
Time, t = 6secs
To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion
V = U + at
Substituting into the equation, we have
V = 2.5 + 1.5*6
V = 2.5 + 9
Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s
