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.

What is the magnitude of the electric force between a proton and an electron when they are at a distance of 4.09 angstrom from e

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$F=1.38*10^{-9}N$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

Here k is the Coulomb constant. In this case, we have $q_1=-e$ , $q_2=e$ and $d=4.09*10^-10m$ . Replacing the values:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^{-19}C)}{(4.09*10^{-10})^2}\\F=-1.38*10^{-9}N$

The negative sign indicates that it is an attractive force. So, the magnitude of the electric force is:

$F=1.38*10^{-9}N$

Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive b

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Conservation of momentum is followed

m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂

3m x 2 = m v

v = 6 m/s

Total kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²

= 8.4 J

This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.

Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.

Which energy transformations occur when a candle burns

gayaneshka [121]

The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy as well as light energy. The energy transforms from chemical energy to heat and light energy. Because when the candle burns a chemical reaction occurs, and produces heat and light.
