I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly. At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed. The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.
The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that.
That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.
To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion. The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things.
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.
This all makes me feel small. How about you ?
Answer:
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
Explanation:
As we know by Newton's 2nd law
here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law
so we know that
so we have
so correct answer will be
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
Hi there!
We can use the kinematic equation:
vf = Final velocity (? m/s)
vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)
a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)
d = distance (9.8 m)
Simplify the equation to solve for vf:
Substitute in the given values:
Answer:
Explanation:
ignore air resistance
Let t be the time of fall for the dropped stone.
½(9.8)t² = 43.12(t - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(t - 2.2)²
4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9(t² - 4.4t + 4.84)
4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9t² - 21.56t + 23.716
0 = 21.56t - 71.148
t = 71.148/21.56 = 3.3 s
h = ½(9.8)3.3² = 53.361 = 53 m
or
h = 43.12(3.3 - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(3.3 - 2.2)² = 53.361 = 53 m
