No.  If time is the horizontal axis and distance is the vertical axis, then
it is not possible for a distance-vs-time graph to be a vertical line.

A vertical line would mean:

-- the object was at all distances at the same time,

-- it moved from any location to any other location in no time, and

-- it moved with infinite speed.

Even light doesn't do that.  A distance-vs-time graph for light is
not a vertical line.  It's a slanted line with slope of  (3 x 10⁸) m/s.

No, because time takes place on the x-axis and time never stops, so time would have to stop in order for it to be a vertical line.

If the hiker starts climbing at an elevation of 350 ft, what will their change in gravitational potential energy be, in joules,
Kitty [74]

Answer:

352,088.37888Joules

Explanation:

Complete question;

A hiker of mass 53 kg is going to climb a mountain with elevation 2,574 ft.

A) If the hiker starts climbing at an elevation of 350 ft., what will their change in gravitational potential energy be, in joules, once they reach the top? (Assume the zero of gravitational potential is at sea level)

Chane in potential energy is expressed as;

ΔGPH = mgΔH

m is the mass of the hiker

g is the acceleration due to gravity;

ΔH is the change in height

Given

m = 53kg

g = 9.8m/s²

ΔH = 2574-350 = 2224ft

since 1ft = 0.3048m

2224ft = (2224*0.3048)m = 677.8752m

Required

Gravitational potential energy

Substitute the values into the formula;

ΔGPH = mgΔH

ΔGPH = 53(9.8)(677.8752)

ΔGPH = 352,088.37888Joules

Hence the gravitational potential energy is 352,088.37888Joules

Calculate the average speed of an automobile that travels 60km east and then 80km north in two hours
lbvjy [14]
We need to calculate speed , so we don't need to consider direction.
speed =distance/time
=(80+60)/2
=70.

But if we were to calculate velocity,we would need to consider the direction.
The direction of resultant displacement would be in north east direction with displacement
=√60^2 +80^2
=100km

The average velocity=100/2=50kmph

WARRIOR [948]
The <span>researchers </span>might not get accurate results because of the following points:

1) The students may lie about the drug use.
2) The students may write correct information and might later feel guilty of writing the truth.
3) High school Students dont know much about drug types and its usage.
4) This task must be conducted in person, with students.

Question 10 of 10
Bad White [126]

Answer:

D. The Federal Reserve Bank can provide a short-term loan to banks

to prevent them from running out of money.

Explanation:

A bank run occurs when a large number of depositors withdraw their deposits simultaneously from a bank.

As the number of withdraws increases, the available cash in the bank decreases until a point that the bank can't give depositors their money.

In these situations, The Federal Reserve Bank acts as a lender of last resort that helps to reinforce the effect of deposit insurance, and to reassure bank customers that they will not lose their money.

(a) Calculate the linear acceleration of a car, the 0.220-m radius tires of which have an angular acceleration of 11.0 rad/s2. A
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The value is  a_t =  2.42 \  m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The radius of the tires is  r =  0.22 \  m

   The  angular acceleration is  \alpha  =  11.0 \ rad/s^2

Generally the linear acceleration is mathematically represented as

     a_t =  r *  \alpha

=>  a_t =  0.22  *  11

=>  a_t =  2.42 \  m/s^2
