What's the average speed of an object moving 3790 meters in 249 s.
NISA [10]

Heya!!

For calculate velocity, lets applicate formula

                                                 \boxed{d = v * t}

                                               <u>Δ   Being   Δ</u>

                                         d = Distance = 3790 m

                                             t = Time = 249 s

                                             v = Velocity = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "v":

\boxed{v= 3790\ m / 249\ s}

⇒ Resolving

\boxed{ v = 15,22 \ m/s }

Result:

The velocity is <u>15,22 meters per second.</u>

Good Luck!!

The eagle drops the trout a height of 6.1 m the fish travels 7.9 m horizontaly before hitting the water what is the velocity of
Semenov [28]

The velocity of the eagle is 7.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the fish is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal velocity of the fish is equal to the horizontal velocity of the eagle

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

s = 6.1 m is the vertical displacement of the fish

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the fish

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the fish:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.1)}{9.8}}=1.12 s

Now we know that during this time, the fish travels a horizontal distance of

x = 7.9 m

Therefore, the horizontal velocity of the fish is

v_x = \frac{x}{t}=\frac{7.9}{1.12}=7.0 m/s

And therefore, this is the initial velocity of the eagle.

What is in the crysphere
butalik [34]

I think you mean the Cryosphere?

But the answer is D- Earths Ice

This word Cryosphere comes from the greek word "kryos" which means cold

Many people think of the cryosphere as being the north and south poles  but snow and ice can be found in a lot of places on the Earth

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.
