Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy
saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

Is light fastest than speed and why.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo
Alla [95]

Answer:

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = v_{ox}

Initial vertical velocity= v_{oy}  (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, a_x = 0 m/s²  [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, a_y = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2

5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2

20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).
