A cat is running at 24 m/s. It then accelerates at 7 m/s2. How long will it take the cat to reach a speed of 49 m/s?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

t should be 3.57 second

Explanation:

Formula used is v = u+at

In which v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Substitute each of the info given into the formula and calculate.

49 = 24 + (7)t

t = 3.57s

Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning
konstantin123 [22]
Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.

Suppose you were asked to demonstrate electromagnetic induction. Which of the following situations will result in an electric cu
steposvetlana [31]
D. All of the above. When a wire loop is moved or rotated in a magnetic field, there is a change in magnetic flux which produces emf in wire loop and hence electric current is produced.
