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.

A truck traveled 400 meters north in 80 seconds and then it traveled 300 meters east in 70 seconds. The magnitude of the average

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3.3m/s

Explanation:

You first get the total time (80 + 70 = 150s).

Then you would find the displacement of the truck. To do that you would do component method (vector addition), so since its a right triangle (North and East), displacement is 400^2 + 300^2 = d^2.

d= 500m.

So now that you have displacement and time, you can find the velocity:

v=d/t

v=500/150

v=3.3

Considering the various theories, the energy used in forming organic molecules in the primitive atmosphere could have come from

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

<h2>e. sound. </h2>

Explanation:

Such type of atmosphere in which oxygen was not present or was present in little amount is known as the primitive atmosphere and such type of atmosphere was present in the initial stage of the earth formation.
During this period, water vapor, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases were present.
These gases interact with the help of energy that comes from many sources such as lightning, ultraviolet radiation, electric spark and some other.
When these inorganic molecules react in the then the formation of organic compounds takes place that becomes the basis of the organization of the life on the earth and called an organic evolution of life.

On Earth, 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs. On the Moon, 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs. Use these relationships to answer the following question

romanna [79]

Answer:

(a) 490 N on earth

(b) 80 N on earth

(d) 270.27 kg on moon

Explanation:

We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth

And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon

(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg

As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N

So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N

(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg

As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N

So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N

As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth

So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg

(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs

So 100 lbs $\frac{100}{0.37}=270.27kg$

At what speed should a ball of mass 2 kg be rolled in order to reach the other side of

Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2 potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2
