<span>By adding "south", the speed had both magnitude AND direction, becoming a vector, not a scalar which generic "speed" is. So the second option can be eliminated. Let's analyze the other part(s). A velocity is a distance/time. Do we have that? Yes! -> miles/hour. So, velocity is an option that theoretically fits this question. Buttt... It gives us a time, and acceleration is a change in a velocity (speed, with a direction)/time. So because it says "after 10 minutes", we consider the big picture to be talking about the change in velocity during that time span, which is simplified as "the acceleration" over that time. :)</span>

It is an example of Acceleration.

There was change in velocity within the 10 minutes.

Define and explain the Police Power
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Police powers are the fundamental ability of a government to enact laws to coerce its citizenry for the public good, although the term eludes an exact definition. The term does not directly relate to the common connotation of police as officers charged with maintaining public order, but rather to broad governmental regulatory power. Berman v. Parker, a 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, stated that “public safety, public health, morality, peace and quiet, law and order. . . are some of the more conspicuous examples of the traditional application of the police power”; while recognizing that “an attempt to define police powers reach or trace its outer limits is fruitless.”

A long cylindrical capacitor is made of a central wire of radius a = 2.50 mm surrounded by a conducting shell of radius b = 7.50
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The capacitance per unit length is 5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius a= 2.50 mm

Radius b=7.50 mm

Dielectric constant = 3.68

Potential difference = 120 V

We need to calculate charge per length for the capacitance

Using formula of charge per length

\lambda=\dfrac{4\pi\epsilon_{0}\Delta V}{2 ln(\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{120}{9\times10^{9}\times2 ln(\dfrac{7.50\times10^{-3}}{2.50\times10^{-3}})}

\lambda=6.068\times10^{-9}\ C/m

We know that,

\lambda=\dfrac{Q}{L}

We need to calculate the capacitance per unit length

Using formula of capacitance per unit length

C=\dfrac{\dfrac{Q}{L}}{\Delta V}

C=\dfrac{6.068\times10^{-9}}{120}

C=5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m

Hence, The capacitance per unit length is 5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m

A mass of 148 g stretches a spring 13 cm. The mass is set in motion from its equlibrium position with a downward velocity of 10
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm

0.3619sec

Explanation:

Given that

Mass,m=148 g

Length,L=13 cm

Velocity,u'(0)=10 cm/s

We have to find the position u of the mass at any time t

We know that

\omega_0=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{980}{13}}\\\\=8.68 rad/s

Where g=980 cm/s^2

u(t)=Acos8.68 t+Bsin 8.68t

u(0)=0

Substitute the value

A=0\\u'(t)=-8.68Asin8.68t+8.68 Bcos8.86 t

Substitute u'(0)=10

8.68B=10

B=\frac{10}{8.68}=1.15

Substitute the values

u(t)=1.15 \sin (8.68t)cm

Period =T = 2π/8.68

After half period

π/8.68 it returns to equilibruim

π/8.68 = 0.3619sec

Can density be used to identify what a substance is made of?
Korolek [52]
Possibly, if you have list of densities and you have to match it. I can't think of any other scenarios in which it would be able to.

Hope I helped! :)

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J
