Hi there!

I. They are the same.

Due to the Conservation of Momentum, an explosion as such means that the TOTAL momentum of the system (all of the pieces) is conserved.

A block of gelatin is 120mm by 120mm by 40mm whrn unstressed. A force of 49N is applied tangentially to the upper surface causin
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa

The shearing strain is 0.25

The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm

F = force = 49 N

Displacement = 10 mm

Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain​, SS = ?

The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:

A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²

The shearing stress:

Ss=\frac{F}{A} =\frac{49}{0.0048} =10208.3333Pa

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

SS=tan\theta =\frac{Displacement}{L}  =\frac{10}{40} =0.25

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

Sm=\frac{10208.3333}{0.25} =40833.3332Pa

The earth travels around the sun once a year in an approximately circular orbit whose radius is 1.50x10^11 m. From this data det
seraphim [82]
(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
            C = 2πr
Substituting the known values, 
           C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
             C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s. 
          orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

               orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.

Would you expect to observe every supernova in our own Galaxy? Why or why not?
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
aliina [53]

Answer:

9.43 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:

W=K_f - K_i

where

W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W = 66,120 + (-36,733)=29,387 J

Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.43 m/s

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

<h2>59.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 70 × 0.85

We have the final answer as

<h3>59.5 N</h3>
