A satellite orbiting above the earth needs no power source to keep orbiting the earth. The best explanation for this involves th

e law of inertia. Simply put the law of inertia states A) for every force on an object that object exerts an equal and opposite force back. B) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. C) the net force equals the mass times the acceleration of and object. D) energy cannot be created or destroyed on changed forms.

The law of inertia is the second name for Newton's first law of motion, which states that B) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

The reason that space crafts do not need to be propelled is because there is no frictional force slowing them down as there would be on earth. This means that the craft keeps moving, according to the law of inertia.

B)

Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1)

v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2)

y=7.39\ m

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched near the Earth's surface forming an angle \theta with the horizontal plane, it describes a well-known path called a parabola. The only force acting (neglecting the effects of the wind) is the gravity, which acts on the vertical axis.

The heigh of an object can be computed as

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where y_o is the initial height above the ground level, v_{oy} is the vertical component of the initial velocity and t is the time

The y-component of the speed is

v_y=v_{oy}-gt

1) We'll find the vertical component of the initial speed since we have not enough data to compute the magnitude of v_o

The object will reach the maximum height when v_y=0. It allows us to compute the time to reach that point

v_{oy}-gt_m=0

Solving for t_m

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_{oy}}{g}

Thus, the maximum heigh is

\displaystyle y_m=y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}

We know this value is 8 meters

\displaystyle y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}=8

Solving for v_{oy}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2g(8-y_o)}

Replacing the known values

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(8-1.5)}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2) We know at t=1.505 sec the ball is above Julie's head, we can compute

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5+(11.29)(1.505)-\frac{9.8(1.505)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5\ m+16,991\ m-11.098\ m

y=7.39\ m

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can
gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

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.

Imagine that a small boy and his much larger father are enjoying a winter morning, sliding along the ice on a nearby playground.
kramer
You can write an hypothesis such as this:
The weight of an object has effects on the operating frictional force, the greater the weight, the higher the operating frictional force.
The father is the one with the higher weight while the son has the lower weight. The operating frictional force is the friction that their weights exert.
