Answer:

The associated SI unit of force and weight is the Newton, with 1 kilogram weighing 9.8 Newtons under standard conditions on the Earth's surface. However, in the US common units, the pound is the unit of force (and therefore weight). The pound is the widely used unit for commerce.

Kyle and Jenny both have pet rabbits. They wanted to see who had the fastest rabbit, so they each recorded data at their homes a

jekas [21]

Answer:

v_kyle = 0.5 m/s

v_jennies = 0.333 m/s

Kyle's Rabbit was the fastest

Explanation:

For the velocity of Kyle's Rabbit:

d = distance covered = 40 m

t = time taken = (1 min)(60s/1 min) + 20 s = 80 s

$v_{kyle} = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{40\ m}{80\ s}$

v_kyle = 0.5 m/s

For the velocity of Jennies Rabbit:

d = distance covered = 30 m

t = time taken = (1 min)(60s/1 min) + 30 s = 90 s

$v_{jennies} = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{30\ m}{90\ s}$

v_jennies = 0.333 m/s

It is clear from the results that:

Kyle's Rabbit was the fastest

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives

denpristay [2]

Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

$E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

$r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So the initial total energy is

$E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J$

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

$r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

so its gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J$

And since it hits the ground with speed

$v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s$

it also has kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J$

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

$E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J$

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

$\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

For a particular pipe in a pipe-organ, it has been determined that the frequencies 296 Hz and 370 Hz are two adjacent natural fr

user100 [1]

Answer:

fundamental frequency of pipe will be equal to 74 Hz

Explanation:

We have given for a particular organ pipe two adjacent frequency are 296 Hz and 370 Hz

Speed of the sound in air is 343 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency for the pipe

Fundamental frequency will be equal to difference of the two adjacent frequency

So fundamental frequency = 370 - 296 = 74 Hz

So fundamental frequency of pipe will be equal to 74 Hz
