Answer:

1. distance and period of time.

Explanation:

The speed is calculated using the formula $k = \frac{d}{t}$

"k" is the speed, "d" is the distance and "t" is the time.

You need distance and time to calculate the speed.

Speed is how fast an object is going. The direction is irrelevant to speed, not to be confused with velocity, which is speed in a given direction.

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c

amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of

Marat540 [252]

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

$\frac{10 - 0}{3} = 3.333333....$

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

$\frac{40 - 0 }{8} = 5.0$

5.0 m/s^2

$5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \: the \: answer \: is \: no$

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traﬃc moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traﬃc ligh

bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ .

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s, $\frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s$ ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

$t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s$

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traﬃc moving continuously is 6.88 s

What does it mean that are bodies are in osmotic equilibrium but chemical and electrical disequilibrium? Why? What molecules are

Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 30.1: Inductors in Circuits. A circuit has a 1 V battery connected in series with a switch.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.0133A

Explanation:

Since we have two sections, for the Inductor region there would be a current $i_1$ . In the case of resistance 2, it will cross a current $i_2$
