Janetta ran a campaign for student body president, and she really wanted to win. She gave election buttons to everyone and told

them how much she appreciated their friendship. Then Janetta told each person that she hoped for a vote. Are Janetta's actions altruistic? Yes, because she gave a gift and expressed her appreciation. No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her. Yes, because her kind compliments probably made others feel good. No, because running for president always means people are dishonest.

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

Bill and Ted are standing on a bridge 40 ft above a river. Bill drops a stone, while Ted decides to throw a stone downward at 10
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

In order to know how long after Bill released his rock should Ted throw his if they want the stones to hit the water simultanously, we need to calculate the time needed to hit the water to both rocks independent each other, and just take the difference.

For the rock dropped by Bill, as the only influence on it is gravity (accelerating it downwards with an acceleration equal to g), and v₀ =0, we can use the following kinematic equation:

y = \frac{1}{2} * g * t^{2}

where y = height = 40 ft.

As all the parameters are given in SI units, it is  advisable to convert this value to m, as follows:

y = 40 ft*\frac{0.3048m}{1 ft} = 12.2 m

Now, we can solve for t, as follows:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*y}{g}} =  \sqrt{\frac{2*12.2m}{9.8m/s2}} = 1.58 s

For the rock thrown down at 10 m/s, the kinematic equation we just have used becomes:

y = v0*t +\frac{1}{2} * g * t^{2}

This leaves us a quadratic equation on t, as follows:

t = \frac{-10m/s}{9.8m/s2} +/- \sqrt{10m/s^{2} -4*4.9m/s2*(-12.2m)} = -1.02 s +/- 1.88s

Taking the positive root, we have:

t = -1.02 s + 1.88 s = 0.86 s

So, in order to get that both rocks hit the water at the same time, Ted will need to wait the difference between both times:

Δt = 0.86 s - 1.58s = -0.72 s
