2. Can you place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g so they are in equilibrium. Justify your answer.

Physics

Bond [772]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Equilibrium means their sum must be zero.

Here the forces are 5g, 6g, and 12g.

For number of forces to be in equilibrium the magnitude of largest vector should be less than sum of the magnitude of other vectors.

Here

        Magnitude of largest force = 12 g

        Sum of magnitudes of other forces = 5g + 6g = 11g

       Magnitude of largest force >   Sum of magnitudes of other forces

So this forces cannot form equilibrium.

We cannot place three forces of 5g, 6g, and 12g in equilibrium.

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

It's nighttime, and you ve dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90 m above the ed
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>

How do we know that solar system formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust
Mademuasel [1]

The evidence of this research is published in the scientific journal Nature communication.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our solar system shaped about 4.5 billion years prior from a thick haze of interstellar gas and residue. The cloud crumbled, potentially due to the shock wave of a close by detonating star, called a supernova. At the point when this residue cloud crumbled, it framed a sun powered cloud—a turning, whirling plate of material.

The research is distributed in the latest issue of journal Nature Communications. About 4.6 billion years prior, a haze of gas and residue that in the end framed our nearby planetary group was upset. The following gravitational breakdown framed the proto-Sun with an encompassing plate where the planets were conceived.
