Answer:

Our answer will be 4 hours.

Explanation:

It takes 24 hours to complete a circle(360° rotation)

Hence to complete 1/6th of complete circle it will take 24/6= 4 hours

Exact in integers= 4 hrs. Hence our answer will be 4 hours.

Nat2105 [25]
It's 12.1 m/s, assuming that's the launch velocity that's given.
For projectile motion, velocity's y-component is parabolic/quadratic. It's x-component is constant, so you don't need to know it.

Heat is transferred from molecules with more kinetic energy to molecules with _________kinetic energy.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

the higher the kinetic energy, the More the vibration of molecules, thus heat is more on the side with highly vibrating molecules

Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her h
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the water to get to the ground from the hose held at 1 m above the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the water. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 3.5 m/s

Time (t) = 0.45 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 3.5 × 0.45

s = 1.58 m

Finally, we shall compare the distance travelled by the water and the position to which Ferdinand is located to see if they are the same or not. This is illustrated below:

Ferdinand's position = 10 m

Distance travelled by the water = 1.58 m

From the above, we can see that the position of the water (i.e 1.58 m) and that of Ferdinand (i.e 10 m) are not the same. Thus, Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

An object falls from the top of a building that is 25 m high. Air resistance is negligible.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>

Given that we can write that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height

v^2 = 2gh

v = √2 * 9.8 * 25

v = 22.1 m/s

Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.
