A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)

Physics

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓

The slow coning pattern of the spin axis of the Earth's precession will move the end of this axis in a complete circle in a peri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

26000 years

Explanation:

Precession describes the angular motion of the Earth's body. Since the attitude of telescopes relative to the Earth's body can be controlled with high accuracy, and telescopes can measure the direction of incoming light also with high accuracy, the motion of Earth is under permanent high precision monitoring. Thus the basic numerical descriptor of precission, an angular rate of 5029.0966 seconds of arc per Julian century, traditionally denoted p (for precession) is a measured value from observed coordinate changes of thousands of stars over, say, two centuries. The understanding of this value in terms of forces acting on an oblate Earth from the Moon is well understood so that an extrapolation back and forth over a few full cycles contains little uncertainties. Of course, you can find details on the coordinate transformations mentioned above (the direct observational effect of precession) on the net. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia article on precession covers the astronomical aspect very poorly. You thus better look for other sources.

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air. Make a claim about the effect of air temperature on the speed of
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: The temperature of the air affects the speed of sound in the due to the fact that colder contains air molecules with low kinetic energy. For warm air the kinetic energy of the molecules is high causing them to move in rapid motion. Because of these vibrations and collisions sound waves moves in a faster rate.
