A 30 N force toward the west is applied to an object. The object moves 50 m east during the time the force is applied. What is t
katovenus [111]

Answer:

D.<u>-1500Joules</u>

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy of the object s equivalent to the workdone by the body in the west direction (negative x direction)

Workdone = Force * Distance

Given

Force = 30N

Distance moved by the object = 30m

Required

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = 30 * 50

Kinetic energy = 1500Joules

Since the body moves in the negative  direction, hence the kinetic energy will be <u>-1500Joules</u>

Rahul kept two plane mirrors at a certain angle in front of a burning candle. He could see 5 images of the candle in the mirrors
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The angle between the mirrors is 90°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of image = 5

Rahul kept two plane mirrors at a certain angle in front of a burning candle.

We need to find the angle between the mirrors

Using given data

When Rahul kept two plane mirrors at a certain angle in front of a burning candle then see the 5 image of candle in the mirrors.

If rahul kept two plane mirrors at a 90° then we get the 5 image of candle.

Firstly we see the two images in both mirror and now first image of first mirror is see in second mirror and second image of second mirror is see in first mirror.

So, we can say that we see the 5 image of candle in the mirrors.

Hence, The angle between the mirrors is 90°.

How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia?
daser333 [38]
I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)
