What is the speed of an object at rest

Physics
1 answer:
sammy [17]2 years ago
4 0
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

What is the role of the nervous system?
zimovet [89]
The nervous system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. (The role) The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. It is part of the overall nervous system that also includes a complex network of neurons, known as the peripheral nervous system. (Central nervous system)

How do you do this problem?
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

First, find the velocity of the projectile needed to reach a height h when fired straight up.

Given:

Δy = h

v = 0

a = -g

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = v₀² + 2(-g)(h)

v₀ = √(2gh)

Now find the height reached if the projectile is launched at a 45° angle.

Given:

v₀ = √(2gh) sin 45° = √(2gh) / √2 = √(gh)

v = 0

a = -g

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = √(gh)² + 2(-g)Δy

2gΔy = gh

Δy = h/2

A 107 gram apple falls from a branch that is 2 meters above the ground. (a) How much time elapses before the apple hits the grou
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The time of motion is 0.64 s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the apple, m = 107 g

height of fall, h = 2 m

The velocity of the apple when it hits the ground is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2} \\\\v = 6.261 \ m / s

The time of motion is calculated;

v = u + gt

6.261 = 0 + 9.8t

6.261 = 9.8t

t = 6.261 / 9.8

t = 0.64 s

Therefore, the time of motion is 0.64 s

A small current element carrying a current of I = 1.00 A is placed at the origin given by d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j Find the magnetic
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the x ‑axis at x = 2.50 m is -6.4 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along z direction)

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the z ‑axis at z = 5.00 m is 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along x direction)

Explanation:

Use Biot, Savart, the magnetic field

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

Given that,

i = 1.00A

d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j

r = 2.5m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (2.5m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =2.5m

on the axis of x at x = 2.5

r = \sqrt{(2.5)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 2.5m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{2.5 \hat i}{2.5}\\\\= 1\hat i

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(2.50)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = -6.4\times10^{-11} T

(Along z direction)

B)r = 5.00m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (5.00m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =5.00m

on the axis of x at x = 5.0

r = \sqrt{(5.00)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 5.00m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{5.00 \hat i}{5.00}\\\\= 1\hat i\\

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(5.00)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = 1.6\times10^{-11} T

(Along x direction)

Explain the theory of plate tectonics and how they have changed Earth’s surface over time. Include the role of plate tectonics i
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement of the plates across the Earth's lithosphere (the crust and upper mantle) through immense periods of time. Earth's litoshphere is composed of 7 (or 8, depending on how they are defined) major plates and many more minor plates.

The movement is attributed to different phenomena stemming from Earth's rotation, gravity, and mantle dynamics. All of these forces play a role in influencing the size, shape, and positioning of the different landmasses that currently shape our continents and islands.

Explanation:

In a nutshell, land originated from magma in the Earth's core escaping through the cracks and making its way to the ocean. The water cooled down the magma and this process created all of the land both above and below the sea. The landforms that we see all around the Earth today were formed thanks to collisions and separations of the plates thoughout billions of years.
