Answer:

The measurement of the force it takes to work against gravity is called weight. You can measure weight on a scale. If you try to pick up heavy objects, you might need to be as strong as a super hero to lift them. Lifting overcomes the pull of gravity. Heavier objects need to have a strong force to lift them.

From a hot air balloon that is at rest at a certain height, a projectile is launched horizontally at 30m / s, how fast will it h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A. 50 m/s

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (10 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 40 m/s

In the x direction, the velocity is constant at 30 m/s.

The overall speed is:

v² = (30 m/s)² + (40 m/s)²

v = 50 m/s

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

$angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}$

so we have

$distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}$

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

$d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec$

distance of star B is given as

$d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec$

So star A is closer than star B

A 20.0 cm tall object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 34.0 cm. Where will the image

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.Theimage will be located at -0.13m or -13 cm

2.The height of the image will be 0.052m or 5.2cm

Explanation:

Given that;

Height of object, h=20 cm = 0.2m

Object distance in front of convex mirror, o,= 50 cm =0.5m

Radius of curvature, r, =34 cm =0.34m

Let;

Image distance, i,=?

Image height, h'=?

You know that focal length,f, is half the radius of curvature,hence

f=r/2 = 0.34/2 = 0.17m ( this length is inside the mirror, in a virtual side, thus its is negative)

f= -0.17m

Apply the relationship that involves the focal length;

$=\frac{1}{o} +\frac{1}{i} =\frac{1}{f}$

$=\frac{1}{0.5} +\frac{1}{i} =-\frac{1}{0.17}$

Re-arrange to get i

$\frac{1}{i} =-2-5.88\\\\\\\frac{1}{i} =-7.88\\\\i=-0.13m$

This is a virtual image formed at a negative distance produced through extension of drawing rays behind the mirror if you use rays to locate the image behind the mirror

Apply the magnification formula

magnification, m=height of image÷height of object

$m=\frac{h'}{h} =-\frac{i}{o}$

substitute the values to get the height of image h'

$\frac{h'}{0.20} =-\frac{-0.13}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.13*0.20}{0.5} \\\\\\h'=\frac{0.025}{0.5} =0.052m\\\\\\h'=5.2cm$
