Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to

Physics

zaharov [31]3 years ago

The correct answer is A. The amount of time needed to travel the distance

Explanation:

Speed focuses on measuring how fast an object moves through the formula Speed = Distance / Time. For example, if a car traveled 150 km in 3 hours the speed is 50 km/h considering 150 km (distance) divided into 3 hours (time) equals 50km/h (speed). This implies speed considers both the distance the object moves and the time that takes this movement. Moreover, speed does not focus on the direction of the movement or any other factors. Thus, speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to "the amount of time needed to travel the distance".

A - the amount of time needed to travel the distance

The formula for speed is distance/time and the unit is m/s. Therefore you divide the distance travelled by the time it took to travel it.

Suppose humans have weights which are normally distributed with mean 170 lbs and SD 50 lbs. If 400 humans are selected at random
MrRa [10]

Answer:

 P(x< 175)= 0.9772

Explanation:

given,

mean weight of human = μ = 170 lbs

standard deviation = SD = 50 lbs

N = 400 humans

By using central limit theorem,

P (x< 175)

P(x< 175)= P(z

P(x< 175)= P(z

P (x< 175)= P(z

P (x< 175)= P(z

using z-table

 P (x< 175)= 0.9772

hence, the probability that total weight is less tan 175 lbs is equal to

 P(x< 175)= 0.9772

A 1.0 kg cart moving right at 5.0 m/s on a frictionless track collides with a second cart moving at 2.0m/s. The 1.0 kg cart has
____ [38]

Answer:

m₂ = 3kg

Explanation:

The question wasn't clear about what direction the initial velocity of the second cart was, so I'll assume it was going left at 2.0m/s.

Anyway, this is a conservation of momentum problem. The equation you need to use is the one written in blue. They want you to solve for the mass of the second cart, so do some algebra and rearrange that blue equation in term of m₂.

Now that you have the equation for m₂, plug in all the values given from the question and you'll get 3kg.

A 13 kg rock is sitting on a cliff. If the rock has 3,500 joules of potential energy, what is the height of the cliff in meters?
Bezzdna [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of the cliff in meters = 27.44

<u>Explanation:</u>

 The potential energy of a body is given by the expression, PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the body, g is the acceleration due to gravity value and h is the height of the body.

 Here we have mass of rock = 13 kg

                          Potential energy = 3500 J

                          Acceleration due to gravity  = 9.81m/s^2

                          Substituting   3500 = 13 * 9.81 * h

                                                       h = 27.44 meter

      The height of the cliff in meters = 27.44

This is a graph of a marble traveling across a smooth surface. What is the average speed of this marble?
prohojiy [21]
Since it is a smooth marble and basing from the graph, it has a constant slope, you could just get any two points along the line and get its slope since speed is Δd/Δt. Let the points be (4,6) and (6,9). Thus,

Δd/Δt = (9-6)/(6-4) = 1.5

Thus, the average speed is 1.5 m/s.
