(1) Speed is the ratio of the total distance covered by the object and the total time it takes for him to finish it. 

    Speed = distance / time 

In this item, we are given that the distance is 20 kilometers and that the time it takes for the trip is 2 hours. Substituting the known values,
   Speed = 20 kilometers / 2 hours 
    speed = 20 km/h

(2) Velocity on the other hand takes into account the displacement of the object from his original position. It is assumed that Jeremie was basically back to his original position after two hours. Hence, the velocity is equal to zero.

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1185 N

Explanation:

From Newton’s second law of motion,  

F=ma where m= mass of motorcycle, a is acceleration of the motorcycle and F=Force

Net force acting on motorcycle F_{net} is given by  F_{net}=F-f

Where F is force acting on motorcycle and f is frictional force

Substituting F-f for F_{net}

F_{net}=ma hence  ma= F- f Substituting a with 3, m with 245Kg and f with 450N as provided

245*3= F- 450

F=245*3 +450= 1185 N

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

The weight of a boy having a mass of 50 kg is __N.<br> ???
lakkis [162]

Answer: 490N

Explanation:

Newton is the unit for force. Force = mass x acceleration

F=N m=50kg a=9.8 (earth's acceleration of gravity)

F=50X9.8

F≈490N
