The cyclist is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, with an initial velocity of v_i=5~m/s and an acceleration of a=9~m/s^2. 
The acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}
where v_f is the final velocity and \Delta t is the time between the end and the beginning of the motion, and in our case it is 1.75 s. Therefore, from this relationship we can find the final velocity:
v_f=v_i + a \Delta t=5~m/s+9~m/s^2 \cdot 1.75~s=20.75~m/s

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE

A circuit consists of one 330 ohm resistor in series with two other resistors (470 ohms and 220 ohms) connected in parallel. Wha
umka21 [38]

Answer:

power drain on an ideal battery, P = 0.017 W

Given:

R_{1} = 330\ohm

R_{2} = 470\ohm

R_{3} = 220\ohm

Since, R_{2} = 470\ohm and R_{3} = 220\ohm are in parallel and this combination is in series with R_{1} = 330\ohm, so,

Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by:

R_{eq} = \frac{R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{2} + R_{3}} + R_{1}

R_{eq} = \frac{470\times 220}{470 + 220} + 330

R_{eq} = 149.85 + 330 = 479.85 \ohm

power drain on an ideal battery, P = \frac{V^{2}}{R_{eq}}

                                                      P = \frac{2.9^{2}}{479.85}

                                                      P = 0.017 W

Imagine two people , each seating on an office chair with wheels. One pushes against the other Describe what happen next Explain
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.

In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.

This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.

While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction,  both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.

You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.

Cheers!

_________ acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the change in velocity while \Delta t is the time interval. From the formula, we can understand that when \Delta v is positive, so when the object is speeding up, the acceleration is positive; on the contrary, when \Delta v is negative (so, when the object is slowing down), the acceleration is negative.
