Answer: option D. 4

Reasoning:

Assuming that the time elapsed between any two consecutive dots is the same, and that the second dot marks second 1, the column with 3 dots marks second 2, and the dot right most marks second 3, the motorcycle has positive acceleration after 4 seconds.

That is because:

1) from the first dot to the second dot: the velocity the lenght of the arrow that models the velocity decrases, which means that the acceleration is negative.

2) In the nex group of dots the length of the arrow remains equal, which means that the velocity is constant and the acceleration is 0.

3) For the last dot, the length of the arrow is greater, which means that the velocity increases, and so the acceleration is positive.

A car moves at the speed of 30km/h for 15 mins and then at the speed of 60km/h for the next 15 mins . how much dstance is covere

blagie [28]

Distance = speed x time. The total speed is 30 + 60 = 90km/h and the total time taken is 15 + 15 = 30 minutes. Therefore, you do 90 x 30 = 2700km

Answer = 2700km

What is the formula to find PE and KE ?

Lapatulllka [165]

PE stands for Potential Energy. It is the stored energy in an object due to its position with respect to some reference. It is expressed in Joules.

P.E = m * g * h OR P.E. = mgh

m - mass of the body
g - acceleration due to gravity
h - height attained due to the body's displacement.

K.E. stands for Kinetic Energy. It is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.

K.E = 1/2 mv² where m = mass of the body; v = velocity with which the body is moving.

(b) Assuming h is small in comparison to the radius of the Earth, show that the difference in free-fall acceleration between two

Sholpan [36]

Vertical distance h isΔg $=\frac{-2GM}{ RE^{3} }$

<h3>What is vertical?</h3>

The distance between two vertical places is known as the vertical separation or vertical distance. There are numerous ways to express vertical position using vertical coordinates, including depth, height, altitude, elevation, etc.
The formula for vertical distance from the ground is y = - g * t2 / 2, where g is the acceleration of gravity and h is a height.
The vertical distance between the measurement point and the point of observation on Earth's surface. Altitude is the vertical distance from the measurement place to mean sea level.

Assuming h is small in comparison to the radius of the Earth, show that the difference in free-fall acceleration between two points separated by vertical distance h isΔg = (2GMeH) / RE³:

Given:

Separated between two points=h

And, h∠∠ $R_{E}$ ( $R_{E}$ = radius of the Earth)
