Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is distance moved per unit time and expressed as

S=d/t

S is speed, d is distance and t is time.

When at rest for five minutes, distance moved is zero hence speed is 0/5=0 m/s

When having moved 120 m for 5 s then speed is

S=120/5=24 m/s

Average speed is the average of these two speeda

Average speed=(24+0)÷2=24/2=12 m/s

Therefore, average speed is 12 m/s

A 10 g bullet moving horizontally with a speed of 2000 m/s strikes and passes through a 4.0 kg block moving with a speed of 4.2
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The answer is "512 J".

Explanation:

bullet mass m_1 = 10 g= 10^{-2} \ kg\\\\

initial speed u_1 = 2\ \frac{Km}{s}= 2000\ \frac{m}{s}\\\\

block mass m_2 = 4\ Kg

initial speed v_2 =-4.2 \frac{m}{s}

final speed v_2= 0

Let v_1 will be the bullet speed after collision:

throughout the consevation the linear moemuntum

\to M_1V_1+m_2v_2=M_1U_1+m_2u_2\\\\\to (10^{-2} kg) V_1 +0 = (10^{-2} kg)(2000 \frac{m}{s}) + (4 \ kg)(-4.2 \frac{m}{s}) \\\\\ \to 10^{-2} v_1 = 20 -16.8\\\\

                = 320 \frac{m}{s}

The kinetic energy of the bullet in its emerges from the block

k=\frac{1}{2} m_1 v_1^2

   =\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-2} \times 320\\\\=512 \ J

Which statement accurately describes current electricity?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles.

Explanation:

Current electricity is caused by flowing negatively charged particles. The negatively charged particles that are responsible for the flow of electricity are called electrons.

The force is equal at all points in the field as the field lines are parallel in a uniform field. So, negatively charged particles will move in the opposite direction to the current.

Hence, the correct answer is "C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles."

Andrea's near point is 20.0 cm and her far point is 2.0 m. Her contact lenses are designed so that she can see objects that are
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

near point = 20 cm

far point = 2 m = 200 cm

Now, for an object that is infinitely far away, the image is at is its far point.

so using the following expression, we can determine the focal length

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

where f is the focal length, i is the image distance and o is the object distance.

here, far point i = 2 m = 200 cm  and v is ∞

so we substitute

1/f = 1/(-200 cm)  +  1/∞

f = -200 cm

Also, for object at its closest point, the image appear at near point,

so

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

we make o the subject of formula

o = ( i × f ) / ( i - f )

given that near point i = 20 cm

we substitute

o = ( -20 × -200 ) / ( -20 - (-200) )

o = 4000 / 180

o = 22.2 cm

Therefore, the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he
podryga [215]

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89
