Hello!

The answer is Gravity. Lets take a look at the options:

A. Nope, this would be if the shuttle was going horizontal.

B. Again, this would be if the shuttle was going horizontal.

C. Yes! This is the only force that is being overcome by using the rocket thrusts to move up.

D. No, the shuttle is using its thrust rocks to push against gravity.

I hope this helps! :)

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.

According to the work-energy theorem, if work is done on an object, its potential and/or kinetic energy changes. Consider a car

Leni [432]

Answer:

The force of the car engine.

Explanation:

The work- energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Its expression is given by :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Also, W = F.d

$Fd=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Where

F is the force applied by the engine of car

d is the displacement

m is the mass of an object

u is the initial speed

v is the final speed

So, the force of the car engine increased the car’s kinetic energy. Hence, this is the required solution.

The system consists of a 20-lb disk A, 4-lb slender rod BC, and a 1-lb smooth collar C. If the disk rolls without slipping, dete

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the collar will be 3.076 ft/s

Explanation:

Given data

weight of the disk, Wa = 20lb

weight of rod BC, Wbc = 4lb

weight of collar, Wc = 1lb

Considering the equation of equilibrium

Vb = 1.5Wbc

Wa = 1.875 Wbc

to calculate the velocity of the collar using energy conservation equation

T1 + V1 = T2 + V2

$0+4(1.5 \sin 45)+2(3 \sin 45)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{20}{32.2}\right)(0.8)\right)$

=> $(1.875 W b c)+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{20}{32.2}\right)(1.5 W b c)+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{20}{32.2}\right)$

=> $(1.5 W b c) \frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{1}{12}\left(\frac{4}{32.2}\right)(3)\right\}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{32.2}\right)$

=> $(2.598 W b c)+4(1.5 \sin 0)+2(3 \sin 0)$

Wbc = 1.18rad/sec

i.e.

$V _c=2.598 \times 1.18$

= 3.076 ft/ s
