Answer:

The gravity model predicts that the optimal location of a service is directly related to the population of people in a given location and inversely related to the distance people must cover in search of it.

An optimal service is directly dependent on the size of people in that given area . The larger the people the larger the customers and vice versa.

If the place is far then less people will patronize because people won’t be willing to go through such stress to get such goods or services.

A sled of mass 10 kg slides along the ice. it has an initial speed of 2 m/s but stops because of friction. How much work is done

NeX [460]

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Mass of the sled = 10 kg

Initial speed of the sled = 2 m/s

Kinetic energy of the sled = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 10 kg\times (2 m/s)^2=20 Joules$

Work done by the sled = 20 joules

The work done by the friction will be in opposite direction and equal to the magnitude of the work done of the sled that - 20 J.

Hence, correct answer is option B.

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

21 psi

Explanation:

The weight of the car is:

W = mg

W = 1000 kg * 9.8 m/s²

W = 9800 N

Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:

F = W/4

F = 9800 N / 4

F = 2450 N

Pressure is force divided by area, so:

P = F / A

P = (2450 N) / (0.13 m × 0.13 m)

P ≈ 145,000 Pa

101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:

P ≈ 145,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)

P ≈ 21 psi

A model train engine was moving at a constant speed on a straight horizontal track. As the engine moved along, a marble was fir

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The marble was moving in a projectile and the speed of the engine was 2.716 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical component of the marble's flight path relative to the train

is given by the equation y(t) = v*t - (4.9)*t^2,

where, v is the initial upward velocity of the marble relative to the train.

So with y(1) = v - 4.9 = 0 we have

v = 4.9 m/s.

The marble will reach maximum height after 0.5 seconds, at which the

height will be y(0.5) = (4.9)*(0.5) - (4.9)*(0.5)^2 = (4.9)*(0.25) = 1.225 m.

Now, the marble has a vertical velocity component of 4.9 m/s and a horizontal velocity component

of V m/s such that tan(61) = 4.9 / V

V = 4.9 / tan(61) = 2.716 m/s

This horizontal velocity component of the marble is the same as the

speed of the train i.e. 2.716 m/s.
