Answer:

velocity.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which consists of:

- a magnitude, which is equal to the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken for the displacement to occur:

v=\frac{d}{t}

- a direction, which is equal to the direction of the displacement

In this case, we are given both the magnitude (70 miles/hour) and the direction (north), so this is an example of velocity.

I believe this would be an example of Mary's velocity. We have her speed and direction which is all you need to find velocity.

An object of mass 82kg is accelerated upward at 3.2m/s/s. what force is required
vampirchik [111]

F = m · a

In order to accelerate 82 kg upward at the rate of 3.2 m/s², a NET upward force of (82kg · 3.2m/s²) =  262.4 Newtons is required.

But if the object is on or near the surface of the Earth, then there's a downward force of (82kg · 9.8m/s²) = 803.6 N already acting on it because of gravity.

So you need to apply (803.6N + 262.4N) = <em>1,066 Newtons UPward</em>, in order to cancel its own weight and accelerate it upward at that rate.

In which of the following cases will the normal force on a box be the greatest? A. When the box is placed in a stationary elevat
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

 D. When the box is placed in an elevator accelerating upward

Explanation:

Looking at the answer choices, we know that we want to find out how the normal force varies with the motion of the box. In all cases listed in the answer choices, there are two forces acting on the box: the normal force and the force of gravity. These two act in opposite directions: the normal force, N, in the upward direction and gravity, mg, in the downward direction. Taking the upward direction to be positive, we can express the net force on the box as N - mg.

From Newton's Second Law, this is also equal to ma, where a is the acceleration of the box (again with the upward direction being positive). For answer choices (A) and (B), the net acceleration of the box is zero, so N = mg. We can see how the acceleration of the elevator (and, hence, of the box) affects the normal force. The larger the acceleration (in the positive, i.e., upward, direction), the larger the normal force is to preserve the equality: N - mg = ma, N = ma+ mg. Answer choice (D), in which the elevator is accelerating upward, results in the greatest normal force, since in that case the magnitude of the normal force is greater than gravity by the amount ma.

Why does a rocket continue to rise after it runs out of fuel
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: The surface of the pad pushes the rocket up while gravity tries to pull it down. As the engines are ignited, the thrust from the rocket unbalances the forces, and the rocket travels upward. Later, when the rocket runs out of fuel, it slows down, stops at the highest point of its flight, then falls back to Earth.

Please help me with this, I will mark as Brianalist if right...​
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

To me, it's option 1

Newton third law states that Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Hence, given the fact that the engine is on, it should be producing a constant force every time so, the speed should be constant as the force propelling it is the same
