Answer:

70 km

Explanation:

Before answering, let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:

- Distance: the total length of the path covered, no matter in which direction

- Displacement: the distance in a straigth line between the final point and the starting point of the motion

In this problem, we are asked to find the total distance travelled. So, we can simply add the length of the two parts of the path, regardless of their direction:

d = 30 km + 40 km = 70 km

A tiger is running across a field. What would happen if the hydrogen ion pumps into the tigers mitochondria stopped functioning

galben [10]

Answer:

The tiger would not be able to produce glucose causing it to stop running

Explanation:

Since the mitochondria is in charge of producing ATP the tiger would not be able to use any glucose causing it to not be able to run.

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction when one of its on board thruster tu

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) V_f = 25.514 m/s

b) Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s

- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2

- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s

Find:

(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?

(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Solution:

- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:

V_f = V_i + a*t

V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49

V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i

- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:

V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)

V_f = sqrt(650.9861)

V_f = 25.514 m/s

- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:

tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)

Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)

Q =53.46 degrees

- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0
