Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time $k=\frac{d}{t}$

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00

Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.

A batter hits a pop fly, and the baseball (with a mass of 148 g) reaches an altitude of 265 ft. If we assume that the ball was 3

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:

U = m × g × h

U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)

m: mass in kg

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

h: height in m

Equivalences

1 kg = 1000 g

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²

1 J = N × m

Known data

$h_2 = 265ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 80.77m$

$h_1 = 3ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 0.914m$

$m = 148g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} = 0.148kg$

$g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Problem development

ΔU: Potential energy change

ΔU = U₂ - U₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

$U_2 - U_1 = 0.148kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}*(80.77m - 0.914m) = 115.82 N * m = 115.82J$

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

If 710- nm and 660- nm light passes through two slits 0.65 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wa

alexira [117]

0.23 mm far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wavelengths on a screen 1.5 m away.

<h3>Given wavelengths 710nm and 660nm,0.65mm apart two slits, and a screen 1.5m away.</h3>

Position of n the order fringe = n λ D / d

for n = 2

position = 2 λ D / d

λ = 710 nm , D = 1.5m

d = .65 x 10⁻³

position 1 = 2 x 710 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.5 / .65 x 10⁻³

= 3276.92 x 10⁻⁶ m

= 3.276x 10⁻³ m

= 3.276mm .

For λ = 660 nm

position = 2 λ D / d

λ = 660 nm , D = 1.5 m

d = .65 x 10⁻³

position 2 = 2 x 660 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.5 / .65 x 10⁻³

= 3046.15 x 10⁻⁶ m

= 3.046 x 10⁻³ m

= 3.046 mm .

Difference between their position

= 3.276mm ₋ 3.046 mm

= 0.23 mm .
