In order to overcome an object’s inertia (resistance to change), it must be acted upon by an unbalanced force, so the answer to the problem is letter C.

According to Newton's first law, the law of inertia, an object's velocity will not change unless it is acted upon by an outside force. This means that objects at rest tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

An airplane is delivering food to a small island. It flies 100 m above the ground at a speed of 150 m/s .
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The airplane should release the parcel 6.7*10^2 m before reaching the island

Explanation:

The height of the plane is y_0=100m, and its speed is v=150 m/s

When an object moves horizontally in free air (no friction), the equation for the y measured with respect to ground is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

And the distance X is

x = V.t     [2]

Being t the time elapsed since the release of the parcel

If we isolate t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2] we get

X = V . \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Using the given values:

x = 150 m/s  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 100m}{9.8 m/sec^2}}

x = 6.7*10^2 m

Aaron Agin nodded off while driving home from play practice this past Sunday evening. His 1500-kg car hit a series of guardrails
Inessa [10]

Answer: 6.48m/s

Explanation:

First, we know that Impulse = change in momentum

Initial velocity, u = 19.8m/s

Let,

Velocity after first collision = x m/s

Velocity after second collision = y m/s

Also, we know that

Impulse = m(v - u). But then, the question said, the guard rail delivered a "resistive" impulse. Thus, our impulse would be m(u - v).

5700 = 1500(19.8 - x)

5700 = 29700 - 1500x

1500x = 29700 - 5700

1500x = 24000

x = 24000/1500

x = 16m/s

Also, at the second guard rail. impulse = ft, so that

Impulse = 79000 * 0.12

Impulse = 9480

This makes us have

Impulse = m(x - y)

9480 = 1500(16 -y)

9480 = 24000 - 1500y

1500y = 24000 - 9480

1500y = 14520

y = 14520 / 1500

y = 9.68

Then, the velocity decreases by 3.2, so that the final velocity of the car is

9.68 - 3.2 = 6.48m/s

A teacher sets up a stand carrying a convex lens of focal length 15 cm at 20.5 cm mark on the optical bench. She asks the studen
Brums [2.3K]
We get the clearest image if there is no magnification. When we have no magnification the image and real object have the same size.
If we look at the diagram that I  attached we can see that:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i}{d_0}
Two triangles that I marked are similar and from this we get:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f}
The image and the object must have the same height so we get:
\frac{h_i}{h_0}=\frac{d_i-f}{f};h_i=h_0\\&#10;1=\frac{d_i-f}{f}\\&#10;d_i=2f
This tells how far the screen should be from the lens. 
The position of the screen on the optical bench is:
S=20.5cm+2f=20.5+2\cdot 15cm=50.5cm

If an electronic circuit experiences a loss of 3 decibels with an input power of 6 watts, what would its output power be, to the
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.

Given:

loss in decibles = 3 dB

Input power = 6 Watt

To find:

Output power = ?

Formula used:

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Solution:

3 dB loss = 0.5 ratio

Output power is given by,

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Output power = 6 × 0.5

Output power = 3 Watt

Thus, output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.
