An object is in motion when it undergoes a continuous change of what?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:
continuous change in position with respect to time

Explanation:
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to its time.
It's the vector quantity of speed as it has both magnitude and direction.

Hope this helps :)

A constant force is exerted for a short time interval on a cart that is initially at rest on an air track. This force gives the

Ilya [14]

Answer:

d) is the same as when it started from rest

Explanation:

using equation of motion

v = u + at

second law of momentum defines

F = ma

a = F /m

the equation becomes

v = u + (F/m)t

from hear

since v is directly proportional to the force and the force remain the same, the increase in the cart speed will also remain the same.

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Exploratory

Explanation:

<u>Focus groups</u>

It is a small group of 8-12 respondents guided by a moderator through a thorough debate on a specific subject or idea.It's great for generation of ideas, brainstorming, insight into motives, attitudes, and perceptions. it can show likes, dislikes,emotional requirements and prejudices.

Exploratory methods are used to gain initial insights that could pave the way for further investigation.

Some of the exploratory methods are focus groups, Key informant,case studies,secondary data and observational data.

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past

Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change. For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

Consider the following waves representing electromagnetic radiation: An illustration shows two waves representing electromagneti

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a) red wave hs a longer wavelength than the green wave

b)f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz , f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) E = 1.24 10⁻²² J , E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

Explanation:

a) The green wave are on the left in the electromagnetic spectrum so the red wave has a longer wavelength than the green wave

The green wavelength is in the range of 550 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of the wave is

c = λ f

f = c /λ

b) The frequency of the red wave is

f = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁻³

f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz

For the green wave

f_green = 3 10⁸/550 10⁻⁹

f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) The photon energy is given by the Planck equation

E = h f

E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 1.875 10¹¹

E = 1.24 10⁻²² J

For the green wave

E_green = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 5.45 10¹⁴

E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The speed of electromagnetic waves is constant and has a value of 3 108 m / s

The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength
