The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Describe how the passenger could determine the speed of the car as accurately
as possible.
(3)
Answer:
To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need data. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to measure it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring time and distance, and a method for measuring each.
Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:
Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp postEach time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatchPress stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp postRecord your dataCalculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap dataCalculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speedOf course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.
Three vector are oriented as shown in figure below where. A=20.0units, B=40.0units, And C=30.0. (a) The x and Y component of the resultant vector. (b) The magnitude of the resultant vector. (c) Direction of the resultant vector { please help me}
Answer:
Explanation:
a). Vertical component of vector B = Bsin(45)
= 40sin(45°)
= 28.28 units
Horizontal component of vector B = Bcos(45°)
= 40cos(45°)
= 28.28 units
Vertical component of vector C = Csin(45°)
= 30sin(45°)
= 21.21 units
Horizontal component of vector C = Ccos(45°)
= 30cos(45°)
= 21.21 units
Vertical forces = A + Bsin(45°) - Csin(45°)
= 20 + 28.28 - 21.21
= 27.07
Horizontal forces = Bcos(45°) + Ccos(45°)
= 28.28 + 21.21
= 49.49 units
b). Magnitude of resultant force = [tex]\sqrt{(27.07)^2+(49.49)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{3182.045}[/tex]
= 56.41 units
c). Direction of the resultant force → Along vector B (at an angle of 45° from the horizontal line)

An 80 kg diver jumps from a 10 m high platform. What is the gravitational potential energy of the diver right before they jump (top of platform)
Answer:
0 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 80kg
Height = 10m
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
[tex] G.P.E = mgh[/tex]
Where;
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
But since we're determining the gravitational potential energy just before the driver jump, the height would be zero (0) meters.
Gravitational potential energy= mgh
Gravitational potential energy = 80*9.8*0
Gravitational potential energy = 0 Joules.
This ultimately implies that, if an object or body hasn't moved (jumped) from its reference point, its gravitational potential energy would be equal to zero.
The light is in one direction after passing through a polarizer
True or false
Answer:
Light propagating in a plane that makes a 0 degree angle with the polarizer will pass through and all other planes will only pass the component of the vector that is in line with the polarizer. What the image suggests, and other images like the second one, is that the light is now all propagating parallel to a single plane
Explanation:
hope this helps
Answer:
true
Explanation:
a polarizer allows only light of a specific wavelength to pass through
A person can jump out of an airplane at 5000 feet, without a parachute, AND land on the ground safely (without any injury), IF they can manage to do what physics trick?
Lengthen the moment/time of impact
Bend knees right before impact
Spread out arms and legs to slow down
Shorten the length/time of impact
Answer:
Momentum is equal to mass for velocity (p1=mv)
But momentum is also equal to Force for time of impact (p1=Ft). Hence the impact force is inversely proportional to the fall time and directly proportional to the mass and fall velocity : F=mv/t^2 or F=p1/t
If he slows down, v diminishes and F diminishes
Hence correct Answer is C
Jenny and Anne wanted to see who could throw a ball the hardest. They decided to each throw a ball against a wall as hard as they could and measure how far the ball rolled away from the wall
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Jenny and anne wanted to see who could throw the ball the hardest. they decided to each throw a ball against the wall as hard as they could and measured how far the ball rolled away from the wall. what might be the variables in this experiment;
Solution:
There are different type of collisions. In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved and there is loss in kinetic energy while in an elastic collision, momentum is not conserved and there is no loss in kinetic energy.
During inelastic collision, the objects stick together while during an elastic collision, the objects separate.
When the ball is thrown against the stationary wall, there is momentum due to the force of impact. The distance at which the ball is rolled away from the wall depends on:
a) mass of the ball, b) velocity of the ball, c) mass of the wall d) type of collision (elastic or inelastic)

Fission reactions are currently used to provide energy for many different sources. Where does the energy produced during the reaction come from?
Answer: From the mass lost during the reaction, or the mass defect.
The energy produced during a reaction come from the heat energy which is released during splitting of uranium atoms.
What is a fission?Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in the atmosphere, a process called as fission. This reaction generates heat energy to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electric energy. Because, the nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce any greenhouse gas emissions.
Uranium and plutonium are the most commonly used atoms for fission reactions in nuclear power reactors because they are very easy to initiate and control with time. The energy which is released by fission in these reactor heats water into the steam. The steam generated is used to spin a turbine to produce carbon-free electric energy.

Read the excerpt from " Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry." Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face! Clouds of the west – sun there half an hour high – I see you also face to face. Which statement best describes the effect of repeating the phrase "face to face"? It shows that the narrator sees the facial features of others. It demonstrates that the narrator is surrounded by nature. It demonstrates that the narrator is surrounded by people. It shows that the narrator is suspicious of the sea and sky.
Answer:
It demonstrates that the narrator is surrounded by nature.
Explanation:
Walt Whitman's "Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry" is a free verse poem written about the speaker's return trip on a ferry. He talks about his daily commute on the Brooklyn ferry, like the other commuters, and how they all share the same experience.
The given lines are from the very first stanza of the poem. The speaker repeats "face-to-face" when talking about nature. He sees the "flood-tide below" and the "clouds" high in the sky. This repetition demonstrates that he is surrounded by nature, amidst the throng of people around him. This shows the speaker's attitude of seeing the beauty of nature in any way he can, despite the bustle of commuting from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

A car covers 400m distance in 50 sec find it's speed?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8 \ m/s}}[/tex]
Explanation:
