Explanation:

a. Average speed = distance / time

= 100 m / 70 s

= 1.43 m/s

b. Average displacement = displacement / time

= 0 m / 70 s

= 0 m/s

Distance is the length of the path traveled. Displacement is the difference between the final position and initial position.

A 1200 kg car traveling north at 10 m/s is rear-ended by a 2000 kg truck traveling at 30 m/s. What is the total momentum before

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1200 kg

Velocity of car = 10 m/s

Mass of truck = 2000 kg

Velocity of truck = 30 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V$

Where, $m_{1}$ =mass of car

$v_{1}$ =velocity of car

$m_{1}$ =mass of truck

$v_{1}$ =velocity of truck

Put the value into the formula

$1200\times10+2000\times30=(1200+2000)V$

$V=\dfrac{1200\times10+2000\times30}{(1200+2000)}$

$V = 22.5\ m/s$

Now, The total momentum before collision is

$P=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$P=1200\times10+2000\times30$

$P=72000\ kg-m/s$

The total momentum after collision is

$P=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{2}$

$P=(1200+2000)\times22.5$

$P= 72000 kg-m/s$

Hence, The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.

A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

$dtan13^0 = 0.231d$

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

$dtan4^0 = 0.07d$

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft
