Doss [256]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

10 km/h

Explanation:

Before calculating the average speed, we need to convert the time taken for the trip from minutes to hours. Since 1 hour cointains 60 minutes, we have:

1 h: 60 min = t : 30 min\\t=\frac{1 h \cdot 30 min}{60 min}=0.5 h

Karen's average speed is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 5 km is the distance covered

t = 0.5 h is the time taken for the trip

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=\frac{5 km}{0.5 h}=10 km/h

A 900 kg car moves around a 500 m radius curve at 25.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force on
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

9375 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Centripetal force (F) = mv²/r.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car, r = radius of the curve.

Given: m = 900 kg, r = 600 m, v = 25 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (900×25²)/600

F = 9375 N.

Hence the centripetal force on the car is 9375 N

You are launching a 2 kg potato out of a potato cannon. The cannon is 2.0 m long and is aimed 70 degrees above the horizontal. I
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

What are three observations an astronaut might make while viewing Russia at night
Lunna [17]

1. Physical size of Russia compared to other countries, despite a lack of visible borders from space.

2. Part of Russia's outline would likely be obscured by the various clouds and objects in the stratosphere; this would allow the astronaut to view potential cloud and weather patterns on earth.

3. An astronaut could see outlines of Russia's geography such as mountain ranges.

Hope that it helps :)

Where are the physics in football
sasho [114]

Answer:

The branch of physics that is most relevant to football is mechanics, the study of motion and its causes.

Explanation:

When the ball leaves the punter's foot, it is moving with a given velocity (speed plus angle of direction) depending upon the force with which he kicks the ball. The ball moves in two directions, horizontally and vertically. Because the ball was launched at an angle, the velocity is divided into two pieces: a horizontal component and a vertical component.
