Answer:

The gravitation field strength of earth can be written as 9.8 N/Kg or 10 N/Kg. This means that an object with a mass of 1kg will be attracted towards the centre of Earth by a force of 9.8 N/kg or 10 N/kg

PHYSICS HELP PLEASE!! MUST SHOW MATH WORK!!

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

1) Distance traveled by bird = 403 meter

2)Average speed = 1.66 km /hour

3) Zcceleration = 2 $m/s^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

1) Distance traveled = Speed * Time taken = 31 * 13 = 403 meter.

2) Average speed = Total distance covered / Time taken for that distance to cover.

Total distance covered = 2+0.5+2.5 = 5 km

Time taken = 3 hours

Average speed = 5/3 = 1.66 km /hour

3) Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so acceleration a = change in velocity/time.

Change in velocity = 14 - 6 = 8 m/s

Time = 4 seconds

So acceleration = 8 / 4 = 2 $m/s^2$

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci

vovikov84 [41]

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know.

m1 = 125 kg v1 = 12m/s v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg v2 = -13m/s v'2 = ?

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$
$(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'$
$1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation.

$-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')$
$0.03m/s=(v_{2}')$

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.

Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her h

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the water to get to the ground from the hose held at 1 m above the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the water. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 3.5 m/s

Time (t) = 0.45 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 3.5 × 0.45

s = 1.58 m

Finally, we shall compare the distance travelled by the water and the position to which Ferdinand is located to see if they are the same or not. This is illustrated below:

Ferdinand's position = 10 m

Distance travelled by the water = 1.58 m

From the above, we can see that the position of the water (i.e 1.58 m) and that of Ferdinand (i.e 10 m) are not the same. Thus, Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.
