Answer:

Δx=vt−21​at2

Explanation:

We can figure out which kinematic formula to use by choosing the formula that includes the known variables, plus the target unknown.

In this problem, the target unknown is the acceleration as the cyclist slows down.

Assuming the initial direction of travel is the positive direction, our known variables are

t=0.5s

v=10km/h

Δx=2m

Since we don't know the initial velocity (Vo), and we are not asked to find (Vo)  we could use the kinematic formula that is missing (Vo) to solve for the target unknown, A

Δx=vt−21​at

asambeis [7]
Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B          *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

v=\sqrt{2gh}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The graph to the right shows the change in Canada‘s harvest of Atlantic cod from 1950-2004 what year shows the clearest evidence
Ann [662]

The correct answer is C. 1995

Explanation:

The graph shows the changes in the harvest of Atlantic cod. In general, this graph illustrates how the peak occurred in the 1980s but then there was a sudden and sharp decline in 1995. Indeed, 1995 is the year with the lowest number of harvested cod as in this year there were approximately least than 10 thousand metric tonnes of cods. Also, this year shows the collapse of fishing stocks or that the population of this fish collapsed, which made it impossible to harvest as many fish as in previous years. According to this, the year that shows the collapse of fishing stocks is 1995.

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

Thanks
