Answer:

the wind carries abrasive materials

Explanation:

such as sand and salt over time theses small particles slowly strip way at the land form sculpting it by eroding the softer layers first

How long does it take an automobile traveling 66.7 km/h to become even with a car that is traveling in another lane at 52.7 km/h

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The time taken is $t = 32.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of first car is $v_1 = 66.7 \ km/h = 18.3 \ m/s$

The speed of second car is $v_2 = 52.7 \ km/h = 14.64 \ m/s$

The initial distance of separation is $d = 119 \ m$

The distance covered by first car is mathematically represented as

$d_t = d_i + d_f$

Here $d_i$ is the initial distance which is 0 m/s

and $d_f$ is the final distance covered which is evaluated as $d_f = v_1 * t$

$d_t = 0 \ m/s + (v_1 * t )$

$d_t = 0 \ m/s + (18.3 * t )$

The distance covered by second car is mathematically represented as

$d_t = d_i + d_f$

Here $d_i$ is the initial distance which is 119 m

and $d_f$ is the final distance covered which is evaluated as $d_f = v_2* t$

$d_t = 119 + 14.64 * t$

Given that the two car are now in the same position we have that

$119 + 14.64 * t = 0 + (18.3 * t )$

$t = 32.5 \ s$

It would be A. Because think of the explanations Jasons friend could say to them that would be a negative 'statement'.

Choose all facts that increase the orbital velocity of a vessel around planet B. Bigger mass of planet B smaller mass of planet

telo118 [61]

Answer:

- Bigger mass of planet B

- orbiting closer to planet B

Explanation:

The orbital velocity of the vessel around the planet can be found by equalizing the force of gravity between the vessel and the planet and the centripetal force:

$G\frac{mM}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m is the mass of the vessel

M is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the vessel and the centre of the planet

v is the orbital velocity of the vessel

Re-arranging the formula, we find an expression for v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

We see that:

- the bigger the mass of the planet, M, the bigger the velocity

- the bigger the distance between the vessel and the planet, r, the smaller the velocity

So, the correct choices that increase the orbital velocity are:

- Bigger mass of planet B

- orbiting closer to planet B

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.540 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?

jok3333 [9.3K]

For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
$2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2$
where $a=g=-9.81 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so $v_f =0$ . Therefore we can solve to find $v_0$ :
$v_0 = \sqrt{2ah}= \sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.540 m)} =3.25 m/s$
