A three-toed sloth travels eastward across a tree limb at 0.11 km/hr. After 30.0 minutes, what is the displacement of the sloth?

Answer:

55 m eastward

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity, displacement and time is:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.

In this problem, we know:

- v=0.11 km/h eastward is the velocity of the sloth

- t=30.0 min = 0.5 h is the time of the motion

Therefore, we can find the displacement of the sloth by re-arranging the previous formula:

d=vt=(0.11 km/h)(0.5 h)=0.055 km = 55 m

and the direction is the same as the velocity (eastward).

Displacement is the total distance from the start point, so what you want to say is that in total, <span>If he moves 0.11 km in 60 minutes (km/h) then in 30 minutes he simply moved 0.055 km (half of 0.11 km) </span>

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
Vesnalui [34]
Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor
xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
  • h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s

The distance between two successive peaks on adjacent waves is its
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding consecutive phases of a waveform. It is usually represented by λ in the mathematical expressions.

A continuous propagating wave repeats its wavelength over the distance.

A wave has crest and trough with respect to time and space.

Wave is defined as a disturbance of any parameter repeated in a cyclic manner over the given time.

What is the function (job) of the genes in protein synthesis (how proteins are made in the cell)?
Alborosie

Answer:Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation.
