While running around the track at school, Milt notices that he runs due East in the 100m homestretch and due West on the 100m ba

ckstretch. To train for the 800 m event, he runs both the 100 m homestretch and the 100m backstretch in 12.2 seconds. How do Mills velocities on the homestretch and backstretch compare

They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.

Answer:

The magnitude of both velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.

Explanation:

Distance on Homestretch = d1 = 100 m

Distance on backstretch = d2 = 100 m

Time = t = 12.2 s

Magnitude of velocity on Homestretch = V1 = d1/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s

Magnitude of velocity on backstretch = V2 = d2/t = 100/12.2 = 8.196 m/s  

if we look at the racecourse, we will come to know that runner runs on homestretch and backstretch in opposite direction. Hence, magnitude of velocities will be same but direction will be opposite.

Why is carbon said to provide a “backbone” in many molecules?(1 point)
slega [8]

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

Does energy or matter ever disappear? Explain.
maria [59]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics doesn't actually specify that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but instead that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed (though it can be changed from one form to another).

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Abbie is one meter from the center o
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
liraira [26]

For a wave:

v = fλ

v is the velocity, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

Assuming the velocity of the wave doesn't change...

If you increase its frequency, its wavelength will shorten.

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1603 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

T = W_A = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

W_A = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>
