Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is moving at 4.4 m/s right before it hits the ground. The egg comes to a stop in
algol [13]

Answer: Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground is 9.2N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of egg (m) = 150g = 0.15kg

Height(h) from which egg is dropped = 3m

velocity of egg before hitting the ground (u) = 4.4m/s

Final velocity of egg (V) = 0

Time taken (t) = 0.072s

Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground can be found by applying Newton's 2nd law:

Momentum = mass × velocity

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass × change in Velocity with time ;

That is

F = m * ΔV / t

Inputting our values

F = 0.15 * (4.4 - 0) / 0.072

F = 0.15 × (4.4 / 0.072)

F = 0.15 × 61.11

F = 9.16N

F = 9.2N

Solve the inequality. x/3 is greater than or equal to - 6. a. x ≥ –9 b. x ≥ 9 c. x ≥ –18 d. x ≤ –18
NISA [10]
To get x on its own, you times the 3 over to the other side so the 3 cancels out on the LHS. 

~ x greater than or equal to -18

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is
klio [65]

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

answer: c
