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.

A ball of silly putty hits andsticks to a bowling ball that was initially at rest. After thecollision, the total kinetic energy
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3. less than the kinetic energy of thesilly putty before the collision.

Explanation:

This is because kinetic energy is dependent on the mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically, it is given as:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

Where m = mass

v = velocity

In the case of the silly putty, we know that the masses of the ball of silly putty and the bowling ball are conserved, hence, the kinetic energy depends solely on the velocity at which the object moves.

After the collision with the bowling ball, because of how heavy a bowling ball is, the speed of the silly putty and bowling ball will definitely be less than the speed of the silly putty before collision, i. e. u > v.

Hence, the kinetic energy after collision will be less than the kinetic energy before collision.

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

A constellation’s changing position in the sky, at the same time of the evening, over a period of several weeks is evidence that
Goryan [66]

Answer:

d- Earth revolves around the sun.

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

On the other hand, earth revolution can be defined as a complete trip along a path around the sun. This path is known as an orbit and it typically takes the Earth 365¼ days to complete it's journey around the Sun.

When a constellation (stars) changes its position in the sky, at the same time of the evening and over a period of several weeks; it ultimately implies or is an evidence that Earth revolves around the sun.

Anna71 [15]

Answer: This is called backscatter which refers to the ability of big waves to reflect the energy in order to give back the signal .

Explanation:

What is meant by backscatter?

Backscatter is the process where by the waves or signal is reflected back to the original direction and get scattered in all directions.

Backscatter allows us to receive signal and be able to view all the channels that are connected through the satellite.
