Answer:

Metal is cold because it is a good conductor. A conductor carries heat away from and object. Heat flows from your hand into the metal and then is conducted rapidly away into the bulk of the metal, leaving the metal surface and your skin surface relatively cool.

You are welcome.

Metal has EXTREME thermal conductors...meaning that the metal can easily change due to weather, even when wind blows on it, usually that is why it is cold

Hope this helps..You're welcome ;)

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the building.

Nadusha1986 [10]

The height of the building is 53.4 m (projectile motion)

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

First of all, we consider the horizontal motion, which is a uniform motion at constant speed. The equation that gives the horizontal distance travelled is:

$d=v_x t$

where:

$v_x = 50 m/s$ is the horizontal velocity of the ball, which is constant since there are no forces in this direction

d = 165 m is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball

Solving for t, we find the time of flight:

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s$

Now we analyze the vertical motion: it is an accelerated motion, we can use the suvat equation

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the vertical displacement, which is the height of the building

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

t = 3.3 s is the time of flight

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for s, we find the height of the building:

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.3)^2=53.4 m$

Forces are measured in Newtons (N). Why are forces considered to be vectors?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A force has both magnitude and direction, therefore: Force is a vector quantity; its units are newtons, N. Forces can cause motion; alternatively forces can act to keep (an) object(s) at rest. ... Consider two forces of magnitudes 5 N and 7 N acting on a particle, with an angle of 90◦ between them.

False. light bounces off the object giving it its colors :)

A satellite that weighs 4900 N on the launchpad travels around the earth's equator in a circular orbit with a period of 1.667 h.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

(a)F= 3.83 * 10^3 N

(b)Altitude=8.20 * 10^5 m

Explanation:

On the launchpad weight = gravitational force between earth and satellite.

W = GMm/R²

where R is the earth radius.

Re-arranging:

WR² / GM = m

m = 4900 * (6.3 * 10^6)² / (6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24) = 488 kg

The centripetal force (Fc) needed to keep the satellite moving in a circular orbit of radius (r) is:

Fc = mω²r

where ω is the angular velocity in radians/second. The satellite completes 1 revolution, which is 2π radians, in 1.667 hours.

ω = 2π / (1.667 * 60 * 60) = 1.05 * 10^-3 rad/s

When the satellite is in orbit at a distance (r) from the CENTRE of the earth, Fc is provided by the gravitational force between the earth and the satellite:

Fc = GMm/r²

mω²r = GMm / r²

ω²r = GM / r²

r³ = GM/ω² = (6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24) / (1.05 * 10^-3)²

r³ = 3.612 * 10^20

r = 7.12 * 10^6 m

(a) F = GMm/r²

F=(6.67 * 10^-11 * 5.97 * 10^24 * 488) / (7.12 * 10^6 )²

F= 3.83 * 10^3 N

(b) Altitude = r - R = (7.12 * 10^6) - (6.3 * 10^6) = 8.20 * 10^5 m

1 7 points If you take less time to perform a task, you have less power output. O True O False

horsena [70]

True

The rate at which work is done is referred to as power. A task done quite quickly is described as having a relatively large power. The same task that is done more slowly is described as being of less power. Both tasks require he same amount of work but they have a different power.
