Answer:

Car travel a distance of 60.06 m in 6 sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity v = 20 m/sec

Time = 6 sec

As the car stops finally so final velocity v = 0

From the first equation of motion

v = u+at (as the car velocity is slows down means it is a case of deceleration)

So v = u-at

$0=20-a\times 6$

$a=3.33m/sec^2$

Now from second equation of motion $s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2=20\times 6-\frac{1}{2}\times 3.33\times 6^2=60.06m$

it takes 560s for a runner to complete one circular lap, moving at a speed of 6.00 m/s. what is the radius of a track?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

534.8 meters

Explanation:

Use T=(2*pi*r)/v

560=(2*pi*r)/6

3360=2*pi*r

1680=pi*r

534.8 meters=radius

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?

yan [13]

The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg

A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 28.7

aleksandrvk [35]

(a) 1440.5 Hz

The general formula for the Doppler effect is

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

where

f is the original frequency

f is the apparent frequency

$v$ is the velocity of the wave

$v_r$ is the velocity of the receiver (positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the receiver, negative otherwise)

Here we have

f = 1110 Hz

v = 334 m/s

In the reflector frame (= on surface B), we have also

$v_s = v_A = -28.7 m/s$ (surface A is the source, which is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +62.2 m/s$ (surface B is the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the reflector frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+62.2 m/s}{334 m/s-28.7 m/s})1110 Hz=1440.5 Hz$

(b) 0.232 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

In the reflector frame,

f = 1440.5 Hz

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1440.5 Hz}=0.232 m$

(c) 1481.2 Hz

Again, we can use the same formula

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

In the source frame (= on surface A), we have

$v_s = v_B = -62.2 m/s$ (surface B is now the source, since it reflects the wave, and it is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +28.7 m/s$ (surface A is now the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the source frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+28.7 m/s}{334 m/s-62.2 m/s})1110 Hz=1481.2 Hz$

(d) 0.225 m

The wavelength of the wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where in this case we have

v = 334 m/s

f = 1481.2 Hz is the apparent in the source frame

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1481.2 Hz}=0.225 m$

??? True or false. An element can only exist as an individual atom.

KengaRu [80]

I think it's false because Oxygen is diatomic so it's found as O2 which means that it has two atoms of itself.

1. Earth releases about 44-46 Tw of heat, in fact heat can be converted into

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough

Explanation:

The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.

Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
