Answer:

C) No air resistance or gravity

Explanation:

For headwind imagine an airplane flying. The wind is hitting the front of the aircraft. Just like the wind is hitting the front of the ball. This increases the drag force and the ball will eventually slow and let the force of gravity act.

For tailwind imagine a sailboat. The wind catches the sail a pushes the boat. Both the wind and boat are going the same way so the angle of the wind is coming from behind. This is why it is called a tail wind.

If a ball is thrown, it has wind resistance and gravity. Otherwise just imagine the ball traveling all around the earth. Because the ball only has the force of lift and thrust, the ball will stay in motion until it hits something strong enough to counteract its thrust.

The description does not state any contact with another object. Also the ball will immediately stop if it has less newtons of force.

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

Does the surrounding air become warm or cool when vapour phase of H2O condenses? Explain

mel-nik [20]

The surrounding air will become warm when water vapor condenses. The vapors when become water will give away latent heat they have, we know that latent heat is required for the object to change states, so, the latent heat the water vapor had when it became water vapor from water will be given out when it again becomes water.

A) The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion

suter [353]

A) The mass of the continent is $2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

B) The kinetic energy is 2016 J

C) The speed of the jogger should be 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the continent can be calculated as

$m = \rho V$

where

$\rho = 2800 kg/m^3$ is its density

V is its volume

We have to calculate its volume. We know that the continent is represented as a slab of side 5900 km (so its surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth of 26 km, so its volume is:

$V=(5900 km)^2 (26 km)=9.05\cdot 10^8 km^3 =9.05 \cdot 10^8 \cdot (10^9 m^3/k^3)=9.05\cdot 10^7 m^3$

So, the mass of the continent is

$m=\rho V = (2800)(9.05\cdot 10^{17})=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the continent, we have:

$m=2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$ is the mass

$v=4 cm/year$ is the speed

We have to convert the speed into SI units. we have:

1 cm = 0.01 m

$1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60) s = 3.15\cdot 10^7 s$

So, the speed is

$v=4 cm/year = 0.04 m/year \cdot \frac{1}{3.15\cdot 10^7}=1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s$

Therefore, the kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg)(1.27\cdot 10^{-9} m/s)^2=2016 J$

Again, the kinetic energy of an object is

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

For the jogger in this problem, his mass is

m = 80 kg

And we want its kinetic energy to be equal to that of the continent, so

K = 2016 J

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find what speed the jogger needs to have this kinetic energy:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2016)}{80}}=7.1 m/s$

The operator of a space station observes a space vehicle approaching at a constant speed v. The operator sends a light signal at

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The speed of the light signal as viewed from the observer is c.

Explanation:

Recall the basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is the same in ALL inertial frames. Based on this, the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.
