Let's say the distance is D. Then the time going is D/10 sec. The time returning is D/20 s. The total time is 3D/20 s, and the total distance is 2D. The average speed for the round trip is (total distance)/(total time). That's (2D) ÷ (3D/20). That's (40D/3D) which is 13-1/3 m/s. (I thought it was going to depend on the distance, but it doesn't.)

Choose the appropriate words to complete the thought. A solar powered car converts _______________ energy into _________________
Natalija [7]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter C. A solar-powered car converts light energy to mechanical energy.

Solar cars use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into energy. Photovoltaic cells are the components in solar panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity<span>. They're made up of semiconductors, usually silicon, that absorb the light.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th
attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a

The height is   H  = 6.74 \  m

b

The horizontal distance is  D  = 23.74 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed is  v  =  15 \  m/s

  The angle is  \theta  =  40^o

   The height of the cannon from the ground is  h  =  2 m

  The distance of the net from the ground is k  =  1 m

 

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as  

     H  =  \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 *  g }  +  h

=>    H  =  \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8}  +  2

=>    H  = 6.74 \  m

Generally from kinematic equation  

    s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

         s  =  [-(h-k)]  

    =>  s =  -(2-1)

    =>  s  = -1 m

There reason why s =  -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

     a =  -g = -9.8

    u  =  v sin (\theta)

So

    -1 = (vsin 40 )t + \frac{1}{2} * (-9.8) t^2

=>  -4.9t^2 + 9.6418t + 1 = 0

using  quadratic formula to solve the equation we have

    t  =  2.07 \  s

Generally distance covered along the horizontal is  

   D  =  v cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  =  15 cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  = 23.74 \  m
