Answer:

Velocity = 8 ft/s

Acceleration = 0 m/s²

Explanation:

Since, the horse is moving with a constant velocity, whose magnitude is given as equal to 8 ft/s. Therefore, it will have the same velocity when it is 10 ft away from the barn. And the velocity of hay bale will be same as the velocity of horse, as the horse is carrying the bales. Therefore:

<u>Velocity = 8 ft/s</u>

Coming to the second part of the question, which relates to the acceleration of the hay bale, when horse is 10 ft away from the barn. The formula for acceleration is given as:

Acceleration = Change in Velocity/ Time

But, the velocity of the horse in constant, which means there is no change in velocity. Hence,

Change in Velocity = 0

Therefore,

Acceleration = 0/Time

<u>Acceleration 0 m/s²</u>

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov Gerasimenko. Although the comet's core is actually far from spheric

Viktor [21]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravity according to the Newtonian definitions. From finding this value we will use the linear motion kinematic equations to find the time. Our values are

Comet mass $M = 1.0*10^{13} kg$

Radius $r = 1.6km = 1600 m$

Rock was dropped from a height 'h' from surface = 1m

The relation for acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass 'm' with radius 'r' is

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

Where G means gravitational universal constant and M the mass of the planet

$g = \frac{(6.67408*10^{-11})(1*10^{13})}{1600^2}$

$g = 2.607*10^{-4} m/s^2$

Now calculate the value of the time

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1)}{2.607*10^{-4}}}$

$t = 87.58s$

The time taken for the rock to reach the surface is t = 87.58s

A distance of 2.00 mm separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is 0.0104 N, find the mass of

aleksklad [387]

Given the distance r = 2/1000 m, the force between them F = 0.0104 N, the mass of the two object can be calculated using formula:

F = G(m1m2)/r^2 since the mass are equal F = G (m^2)/r^2

And where G = is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1)

The mass of the two objects are 24.96 kg

Suppose two astronauts on a spacewalk are floating motionless in space, 3.0 m apart. Astronaut B tosses a 15.0 kg IMAX camera to

marta [7]

Answer:

$\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}$

(we need the mass of the astronaut A)

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the conservation law of the linear momentum P. First we need to represent every mass as a particle. Also we can simplify this system of particles by considering only the astronaut A with an initial speed $v_{iA}$ of 0 m/s and a mass $m_{A}$ and the IMAX camera with an initial speed $v_{ic}$ of 7.5 m/s and a mass $m_{c}$ of 15.0 kg.

The law of conservation says that the linear momentum P (the sum of the products between all masses and its speeds) is constant in time. The equation for this is:

$P_{i}=p_{ic}+p_{iA}\\P_{i}=m_{c}v_{ic}+m_{A} v_{iA}\\P_{i}=15*7.5 + m_{A}*0\\P_{i}=112.5 \frac{kg.m}{s}$

By the law of conservation we know that $P_{i} =P_{f}$

For $P_{f}$ (final linear momentum) we need to treat the collision as a plastic one (the two particles stick together after the encounter).

So:

$P_{i} =P_{f}=112.5\\$

$112.5=(m_{c}+m_{A})v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{m_{c}+m_{A}}=v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}$

Two cars start 200 m apart and drive toward each other at a steady 10 m/s. On the front of one of them, an energetic grasshopper

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Total distance does the grasshopper travel before the cars hit is 150 m

Explanation:

Each car moves x=100 m before they collide. Both the cars moving in constant velocity. time taken t by each car is

$t=\frac{x}{v}$

where x is the distance traveled with velocity v

$t=\frac{100}{10}\\t=10 sec$

The insect is moving through this time period with a constant velocity of 15 m/s

The distance traveled by grasshopper is

$distance=V_{gh} \times t\\distance=15 \times 10\\distance=150 m$
