Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken by George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44

Answer:

The last statement is false.

Explanation:

Photons (Electromagnetic radiation) are released when electrons drop from a higher energy lever to a lower energy level. Therefore the opposite insinuated by the last statement is wrong.

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 $\frac{m}{s}$

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = $\frac{0-8}{-9.8}$

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these

insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

$\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

$I_0$ = Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

$I= 15I_0$

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

$\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})$

$\beta = 100-10*log(15)$

$\beta = 100-11.76$

$\beta = 88.23dB$

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.

1. What conditions are necessary for a hurricane to form?

tekilochka [14]

Each year is a different anount of hurricanes but on the Pacific Ocean there is about 14 hurricanes (that's form). Hurricanes rotate clockwise. The Saffir-Simpson scale, it's measured on a scale 1-5 property damage and flooding along the coast. Hurricanes get their names from meteorologist a long time ago from their communication about them being more effectively and to tell whether to stay more farther away from the hurricane. The calmest winds in the hurricane is the, Eye. Which the Eye is also called the, cyclone. The strongest winds are in the right-front side of the hurricanes center. Hope this helped! Sorry that I couldn't get everything.
