The two stars should be the same age, so we'd expect the subgiant to be more massive than the main-sequence star.

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. Boat

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

average velocity must be zero

Explanation:

As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

$d = 48 km$

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{48 + 48}{48}$

$t = 2 hrs$

Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance

$t = \frac{48}{24} + \frac{48}{72}$

$t = 2.66 h$

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

Since the displacement of Boat A is zero

so average velocity must be zero

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
