As a rocket flies through the air, it both translates and rotates. The rotation occurs about a point called the center of gravity. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of the rocket.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After two hours, the velocity of the car is 54 km/h. After four hours

MariettaO [177]

With that information you can only suppose a uniformly accelerated motion. This is, acceleration is constant.

Then, acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = (58 -54)km/h / 2 h = 4km/h / 2 h = 2 km/h^2

Then the equation for velocity, V is

V = Vo + a*t = Vo + 2 (km/h^2) * t = Vo + 2t

Vo is the initial velocity, which you can find using V = 54km/h and t = -2

Vo = V after 2 hours - a*(2hours) = 54km/h - 2(km/h^2)*2h = 54km/k - 4km/h = 50km/h

Then, the equation is: V = 50 km/h + 2t

Valid for constant acceleration.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

There is a loss of fluid in the container of 0.475L

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to the change of voumen in a substance depending on the temperature.

The formula that describes this thermal expansion process is given by:

$\Delta V = \beta V_0 \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta V =$ Change in volume

$V_0 =$ Initial Volume

$\Delta T =$ Change in temperature

$\beta =$ coefficient of volume expansion (Coefficient of copper and of the liquid for this case)

There are two types of materials in the container, liquid and copper, so we have to change the amount of Total Volume that would be subject to,

$\Delta V_T = \Delta V_l - \Delta V_c$

Where,

$\Delta V_l$ = Change in the volume of liquid

$\Delta V_c$ = Change in the volume of copper

Then replacing with the previous equation we have:

$\Delta V = \beta_l V_0 \Delta T- \beta_c V_0 \Delta T$

$\Delta V = (\beta_l-\beta_c)V_0\Delta T$

Our values are given as,

Thermal expansion coefficient for copper and the liquid to 20°C is

$\beta_c = 51*10^{-6}/\°C$

$\beta_l = 400*10^{-6}/\°C$

$V_0 = 16L$

$\Delta T = (95\°C-10\°C)$

Replacing we have that,

$\Delta V = (\beta_l-\beta_c)V_0\Delta T$

$\Delta V = (400*10^{-6}/\°C-51*10^{-6}/\°C)(16L)(95\°C-10\°C)$

$\Delta V = 0.475L$

Therefore there is a loss of fluid in the container of 0.475L

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal

givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion. Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.
