Which literary device portrays a character's reflections?
DochEvi [55]
Of the literary devices you provided to choose from, snap hots and thought shots are not even devices so they fall off the list.

sensory language can explain the senses the character is using - helping figure out his reflections,

but figuratve language can helop the best. the character says something figuratively and we can analyze what they meant to find out what they were thinking

a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During which part of the journey was the car acceleratin
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a)  600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change)  of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th
ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.

What is meant by global warming?
pychu [463]

The global warming is the uniform heating of the globe due to the effect of greenhouse gases.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Global warming is thus the theory that says that earth is warming up with an increase in temperature over time due to increment in the greenhouse gases.

These are greenhouse gases that are getting increased due to the human activity or say over exploitation of the natural resources. The heating of the globe has caused ozone layer depletion which is also causing warming.

A descending elevator of mass 1,000 kg is uniformly decelerated to rest over a distance of 8 m by a cable in which the tension i
Stolb23 [73]

The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.
