Rina8888 [55]

Answer:1. Roche limit

2.hydrogen

3.atmosphere

4.mercury

5.venus

6.when an object passes the Roche limit, the strength of gravity on the object increases. If the density of the planet is higher, then the object can break up farther away from the planet. If the density is lower, then the Roche limit is located closer to the planet

7.Farther our in the solar system, beyond the frost line, hydrogen was at a low enough temperature that it could condense. This allowed hydrogen to accumulate under gravity, eventually forming the Jovian planets

I attached the missing picture.
We can figure this one out using the law of conservation of energy.
At point A the car would have potential energy and kinetic energy.
$A: mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}$
Then, while the car is traveling down the track it loses some of its initial energy due to friction:
$W_f=F_f\cdot L$
So, we know that the car is approaching the point B with the following amount of energy:
$mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL$
The law of conservation of energy tells us that this energy must the same as the energy at point B.
The energy at point B is the sum of car's kinetic and potential energy:
$B: mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}$
As said before this energy must be the same as the energy of a car approaching the loop:
$mgh_2+\frac{mv_2}{2}=mgh_1+\frac{mv_1^2}{2}- F_fL$
Now we solve the equation for $v_1$ :
$v_1^2=2g(h_2-h_1)+v_2^2+\frac{2F_fL}{m}\\
v_1^2=39.23\\
v_1=\sqrt{39.23}=6.26\frac{m}{s}$

A car travels 500m in 50s, then 1,500m in 75s. Calculate its averages speed for the whole journey

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

15m/s

Explanation:

500 ÷ 50 = 10m/s

1500 ÷ 75 = 20m/s

10 + 20 = 30

30 ÷ 2 = 15m/s

A physics student with too much free time drops a watermelon from a roof of a building, hears the sound of the watermelon going

tatiyna

Answer:

28.6260196842 m

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

t = Time taken by the watermelon to fall to the ground

Time taken to hear the sound is 2.5 seconds

Time taken by the sound to travel the height of the cliff = 2.5-t

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

For the watermelon falling

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2$

For the sound

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=340\times (2.5-t)$

Here, distance traveled by the stone and sound is equal

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{340}{4.905}(2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2+69.3170234455t-173.292558614=0$

$t=\frac{-69.31702\dots +\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1},\:t=\frac{-69.31702\dots -\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow t=2.4158\ s\ or\ -71\ seconds$

The time taken to fall down is 2.4158 seconds

$h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 2.4158^2=28.6260196842\ m$

Height of the buidling is 28.6260196842 m
