<span>Answer: 1st, identify the givens and the unknown - this will give you parameter of what concept and formula are you going to use. Given: m= 1200kg v initial = 95km/hr v final = 0 2nd, focus on the units - in most cases units speak for the concept the unit of the unknown is kcal, thus its the unit of energy or work so, W = ? 3rd, provide the appropriate formula - give formula or equation that the given and the unknown are present since W = delta K.E =delta P.E W= 0.5m( vf^2 - vi^2) ---> best formula 4th, Substitute the given to the formula since 1 Joule = 1Nm 1N = 1kgms^-2 1cal = 4.19 J we express first 95 km/hr to m/s 95km/hr x 1000m/1km x 1hr/3600sec = 26.39 m/sec W= 0.5(1200kg)[(0^2- (26.39m/sec)^2] W=600 kg(0 - 696.43m^2/s^2) W=600kg(-696.43m^2/s^2) W=417859.3Nm or 417859.3 J W = 417859.3 J x 1 cal /4.19 J W = 99,727.7 cal or 99.728 kcal</span>

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency  . C. period . D. pitch  E. loudness 
Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant
ser-zykov [4K]
It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.3 m/s rel
Sonja [21]

consider east-west direction along X-axis  and north-south direction along Y-axis

V_{ra} = velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s

(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)

V_{ag} = velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s

(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)

V_{rg} = velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?

using the equation

V_{rg} = V_{ra} + V_{ag}

V_{rg} = 12 j + 6.3 i

V_{rg} = 6.3 i + 12 j

magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s

direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
