Two trees have perfectly straight trunks and are both growing perpendicular to the flat horizontal ground beneath them. The side

s of the trunks that face each other are separated by 1.1 m. A frisky squirrel makes three jumps in rapid succession. First, he leaps from the foot of one tree to a spot that is 0.9 m above the ground on the other tree. Then, he jumps back to the first tree, landing on it at a spot that is 1.7 m above the ground. Finally, he leaps to the other tree, now landing at a spot that is 2.3 m above the ground. What is the magnitude of the squirrel's displacement?

Answer:

2.55 m.

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position . In the present case this distance forms the hypotenuse of the triangle having base equal to 1.1 m and perpendicular equal to 2.3 m .

Hypotenuse H then

H² = 1.1² + 2.3²

H = 2.55 m.

Why does the earth bulge at the equator?
sattari [20]

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of this complex machine.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bicycle

Explanation:

A compound machine is a machine which is a combination of simple machines.

Simple machines are like the pulley, inclined plane or a screw.

Suppose a bicycle is considered, it has more than one simple machine combined together, for it to work. Wheel and axle is one of them and the beam which is pivoted at a fixed hinge is another simple machine in it.

The pedals of the bicycle function as the lever.

Kissa and Lily ran a race in gym class Lily was off balance so she did not start until 2 seconds had passed
Paul [167]
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".
