a. Speed is defined as rate of change of distance per unit time whereas velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement per unit time.

b. t=6000\ s is the total time taken in the trip

c. d=126000\ m is the total distance

d. s=54000\ m towards right from the starting point.

e. v_a=21\ m.s^{-1}

f. \vec v_a=9\ m.s^{-1} towards right.

Explanation:

a.

Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.

Speed is defined as rate of change of distance per unit time whereas velocity is defined as rate of change of displacement per unit time.

Speed is a directionless quantity while velocity constitutes direction.

b.

<em>Total time of round trip when we're given:</em>

  • distance travelled to the right, d_r=90000\ m
  • speed while travelling to the right, v_r=25\ m.s^{-1}
  • time spent at gas station, t_g=600\ s
  • time spent while travelling back towards the left, t_l=30\times 60=1800\ s
  • speed while travelling to the left, v_{_l}=20\ m.s^{-1}

<em>Now time taken for travelling towards right:</em>

t_r=\frac{d_r}{v_r}

t_r=\frac{90000}{25}

t_r=3600\ s

<u>Therefore total time taken in the round trip:</u>

t=t_r+t_l+t_g

t=3600+600+1800

t=6000\ s

c.

<em>Now, distance travelled towards left:</em>

d_l=v_{_l}\times t_l

d_l=20\times1800

d_l=36000\ m

<u>Therefore total distance:</u>

d=d_l+d_r

d=36000+90000

d=126000\ m

d.

Now, total displacement:

s=d_r-d_l

s=90000-36000

s=54000\ m towards right from the starting point.

e.

<u>Average speed:</u>

v_a=\frac{d}{t}

v_a=\frac{126000}{6000}

v_a=21\ m.s^{-1}

f.

<u>Average velocity:</u>

\vec v_a=\frac{s}{t}

\vec v_a=\frac{54000}{6000}

\vec v_a=9\ m.s^{-1} towards right.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 21.8 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 101 m from the base
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

t=2.10 s

u= 47.40 m/s

Explanation:

given that

h= 21.8 m

x= 101 m

g=9.8 m/s²

Lets take horizontal speed of  ball = u m/s

The vertical speed of the car at initial condition is zero ( v= 0).

We know that

h=vt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

v= 0 m/s

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

now by putting the values

21.8 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t=2.10 s

This is time when ball was in motion.

Now in horizontal direction

x = u .t

101 = u x 2.1

u= 47.40 m/s

At 1 atm pressure, the heat of sublimation of gallium is 277 kj/mol and the heat of vaporization is 271 kj/mol. to the correct n
Andreyy89
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

 a. 268 kJ 
<span>b. 271 kJ </span>
<span>c. 9 kJ </span>
<span>d. 6 kJ
</span>
So the key thing to realize here is what the information given to you actually means. Sublimation is going from a sold to a gas. Vaporization is going from a liquid to a gas. Hence you can create two equations from the information that you have: 

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (g) delta H = 277 kJ/mol </span>

<span>Ga (l) --> Ga (g) delta H = 271 kJ/mol </span>

<span>From these two equations, you can then infer how to get the melting equation be simply finding the difference between the sublimation (two steps) and vaporization (one step). </span>

<span>Ga (s) --> Ga (l) delta H = 6 kJ/mol </span>

<span>At this point, all you need to do is a bit of stoichiometry. You start with 1.50 mol and multiply by the amount of energy per mole (6 kJ/mol). </span>

What evidence supports the ages of our planets, moon, sun, and asteroids
Pie

It is indeed true that scientists have known about the background radiation (commonly known as the Cosmic Microwave Background) since the early 60s. It was first discovered quite by accident by Penzias and Wilson working at Bell Labs, who detected it as an unexplainable interference in their precision radio equipment. When people finally figured out exactly what it was they were seeing, they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery. Only a few years before, George Gamow had predicted that if the Big Bang theory were correct, we should observe just such a background radiation. The CMB is not the only evidence in favor of the Big Bang, but it is one of the most important. It is a natural consequence of the theory, and is pretty unexplainable in steady-state cosmology.

The 15-20 billion year number comes not from the CMB, but rather predominantly from measurements of nearby and distant galaxies, particularly their rates of expansion away from us. We find that the distance to a galaxy is proportional to its recessional velocity. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble Constant, H, which turns out to be (approximately) the reciprocal of the age of the universe. So we measure the age by measuring recessional velocities. T = 1/H is only true, however, if the universe is not significantly accelerating or decelerating its expansion rate. If the rate of expansion is rapidly accelerating, the universe may be older than 1/H = 15 billion years, give or take. Such an acceleration would be caused by a large value of the Cosmological Constant, a sort of anti-gravity force predicted by General Relativity. There is some evidence that this might be the case.

So finally, yes, the age of the universe, being based on the empirical determination of H, is based on the observed evidence.

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!ASAP!!! Wet Lab - Coulomb's Law lab from edge!!
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

h

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law[1] of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force.[2] The law was first discovered in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, hence the name. Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism, maybe even its starting point,[1] as it made it possible to discuss the quantity of electric charge in a meaningful way.[3]

The law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,[4]

{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}

Here, ke is Coulomb's constant (ke ≈ 8.988×109 N⋅m2⋅C−2),[1] q1 and q2 are the signed magnitudes of the charges, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

The force is along the straight line joining the two charges. If the charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive.

Being an inverse-square law, the law is analogous to Isaac Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces are always attractive, while electrostatic forces can be attractive or repulsive.[2] Coulomb's law can be used to derive Gauss's law, and vice versa. In the case of a single stationary point charge, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways.[5] The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.[5]

How long will it take a 400 W engine to lift a 100 N object up to a height of 80 m?
Norma-Jean [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • Power of the engine as 400 watts
  • Force as 100 N
  • Distance the object is lifted up as 80 m

We are required to determine the time taken.

  • We need to know that power is the rate of work done

Therefore;

  • Power = Work done ÷ time

But, work done  = Force × distance

  • Therefore; In this case;

Work done = 100 N × 80 m

                  = 8000 Joules

  • Since , Power = Work done ÷ time

Then, time = Work done ÷ Power

Thus;

Time = 8000 J ÷ 400 W

       = 20 s

Therefore, the time taken by the engine to lift the object is 20 seconds
