Answer:

0.4 km/h

Explanation:

Speed is defined as distance moved per unit time and can be expressed in either m/s or Km/h or miles/h

Mathematically,

s=\frac {d}{t}

where d represent distance covered and t is time taken

Taking d as 100 m and converting it into km, we divide by 1000 hence d= 0.1 km

Time is 15 minutes and to convert to hours we divide by 60 hence 0.25 hours

Speed, s=\frac {0.1}{0.25}=0.4 Km/h

Therefore, the speed is equivalent to 0.4 km/h

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.07756 m

Explanation:

Given mass of object =0.20 kg

spring constant = 120 n/m

maximum speed = 1.9 m/sec

We have to find the amplitude of the motion

We know that maximum speed of the object when it is in harmonic motion is given by v_{max}=A\omega where A is amplitude and \omega is angular velocity

Angular velocity is given by \omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}  where k is spring constant and m is mass

So v_{max}=A\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

A=V_{max}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=1.9\times \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{120}}=0.07756 \ m

Sidana [21]

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.

A 5kg bag falls a verticle height of 10m before hitting the ground.
g100num [7]

Answer:

u = 7m {s}^{ - 1}

Explanation:

We know that when we don't have air friction on a free fall the mechanical energy (I will symbololize it with ME) is equal everywhere. So we have:

me(1) = me(2)

where me(1) is mechanical energy while on h=10m

and me(2) is mechanical energy while on the ground

Ek(1) + DynamicE(1) = Ek(2) + DynamicE(2)

Ek(1) is equal to zero since an object that has reached its max height has a speed equal to zero.

DynamicE(2) is equal to zero since it's touching the ground

Using that info we have

m \times g \times h   =   \frac{1}{2}  \times m \times u {}^{2} \\

we divide both sides of the equation with mass to make the math easier.

9.8 \times 10 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times u {}^{2}  \\  \frac{98}{2}  = u {}^{2}  \\ u { }^{2} = 49 \\ u = 7
