What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ

Stolb23 [73]

A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force

These are types of individual forces

Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force
Air Resistance Force
Tensional Force

An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= $\frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }$

= (.54 + .82 )c/ $1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}$

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 25 kg, sit in seats opposite one another in a rotating merry-go-round with an arm leng

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$92.25 kgm^2$

Explanation:

Assume both children bodies are point particles. The total moment of inertia about the rotation axis of 2 points particles of mass 16 kg and 25 kg at 1.5 m arm length is

$\sum I = m_1r_1^2 + m_2r_2^2$

where $m_1 = 16 kg, m_2 = 25 kg$ are the masses of 2 children $r_1 = R-2 = 1.5m$ are their distance to the center of rotation

$\sum I = 16*1.5^2 + 25*1.5^2 = 1.5^2(16 + 25) = 92.25 kgm^2$

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m$

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m$

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
