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.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

$MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875$

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate

Juliette [100K]

Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.

Why was Thompson's Plum pudding model a significant departure from previous models?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiments led him to develop the plum-pudding model, which stated that each atom had positively charged particles spread throughout its negatively charged matter. Reword the statement so it is true. ... More alpha particles were deflected than he expected.

A 1.5 kg cart is attached to a spring with spring constant of 5 N/m. The cart & spring is pulled to stretch the spring by 3

vaieri [72.5K]

22.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

x = 3 m

$k = 5\:\text{N/m}$

The spring potential energy $PE_s$ is

$PE_s = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(5\:\text{N/m})(3\:\text{m})^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=22.5\:\text{J}$

If the net external force acting on a system is zero , then the total momentum of the system is zero

Neporo4naja [7]

If net external force acting on the system is zero, momentum is conserved. That means, initial and final momentum are same → total momentum of the system is zero.
