Average Velocity = (size+direction of displacement)/(time for the change)

We don't know the direction in  which the ball rolled, so we can't fully describe its velocity.  The best we can do is talk about its speed.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Distance = (ending position) - (starting position)

Distance = (80 cm) - (zero) = 80 cm

Speed = (80 cm) / (0.4 sec)

Speed = 200 m/s

Answer: Option C, s = 200 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity can be obtained by the slope of the linear function that we have in the graph, this is:

s = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where y2 = f(x2) and y1 = f(x1)

for this we need two pairs of data, let's use the first two:

y1 = 20cm, x1 = 0.1 sec

y2 = 40cm, x2 = 0.2 sec.

then the slope is:

s = (40cm - 20cm)/(0.2s - 0.1s) = 20cm/0.1s = 200cm/s

then the correct option is C

Answer:

In collisions between two isolated objects Newton's third law implies that momentum is always conserved. In collisions between two isolated objects momentum is always conserved. Kinetic energy is only conserved in elastic collisions.

(b) During one day, 250 kg of water is pumped through
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: The energy incident on the solar panel during that day is 9.24 \times 10^{7} J.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 250 kg

Initial temperature = 16^{o}C

Final temperature = 38^{o}C

Specific heat capacity = 4200 J/kg^{o}C

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity

T_{1} = initial temperature

T_{2} = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

q = 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times (38 - 16)^{o}C\\= 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times 22^{o}C

As it is given that water absorbs 25% of the energy incident on the solar panel. Hence, energy incident on the solar panel can be calculated as follows.

\frac{25}{100} \times q = 250 kg \times 4200 J/kg^{o}C \times 22^{o}C\\q = 9.24 \times 10^{7} J

Thus, we can conclude that the energy incident on the solar panel during that day is 9.24 \times 10^{7} J.

An object that is thrown straight up falls back to Earth. This is one-dimensional motion. (a) When is its velocity zero? (b) Doe
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of object is zero when it is at maximum height.

(b) The direction of velocity changes as it starts moving downwards after it reaches the maximum height.

(c) Acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards so its sign remains same.

Scenario 2: A dam was built California in 1999 to block the Santa Ana River and help generate
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Some of the effects of a dam on the environment includes;

1) Increase in the amount of the greenhouse gases

2) Removal of the natural wetland and ocean carbon sinks

3) Disruption of the sources of nutrients in the ecosystem

4) Destruction of habitats

5) Raising of the sea levels and waste waters

6) Displace villages and communities

7) Dams have a potential to create flood risk

8) Dams lead to increased water loss due to evaporation and transpiration

9) Dams causes earthquakes

Explanation:

Dams are a source of renewable energy and are a means to prevent floods, however, dams can also have detrimental impact on the climate and the environment.

A ray of light traveling in air strikes the surface of a liquid. if the angle of incidence is 29.7◦ and the angle of refraction
lana66690 [7]
When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) (2)
where n_r is the refractive index of the second medium and n_i is the refractive index of the first medium.

We can find the ratio n_r / n_i by using Snell's law:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r (1)
where
\theta_i is the angle of incidence
\theta_r is the angle of refraction

By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find
\frac{n_r}{n_i} =  \frac{\sin \theta_i}{\sin \theta_r} = \frac{\sin 16.3^{\circ}}{\sin 29.7^{\circ}} =0.566

and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) = \arcsin (0.566) = 34.5^{\circ}
