Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

Starting from rest, a car undergoes a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. How far will the car travel in the two seconds?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

If time is specified, the distance may be estimated in constant acceleration using the formula: X=(at2)/2 if the beginning velocity is 0. (A automobile begins from a stop...) As a result, X=(6*10*10)/2=600/2 = 300 m.

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

A 24 kg crate is moving at a constant speed because it is being pushed with a force of 53n. What would be the coefficient of kin
____ [38]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor can be calculated using the formula μ = Ff / N, where Ff is the frictional force, N is the normal force, and μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

In this case, the normal force is equal to the weight of the crate, which is 24 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 235.2 N. The frictional force can be calculated using the formula Ff = μ * N, where μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.

If we substitute the values for N and Ff into the formula for the coefficient of kinetic friction, we get:μ = 53 N / 235.2 N = 0.225

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.225.
