Answer:

Time, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east. Let west direction is negative and east direction is positive. The displacement of the cyclist is :

d=16-8+8-32+11.2=-4.8\ km

d = 4800 m

Let us assumed that the average speed of the cyclist is, v = 24 km/h = 6.66667 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip. The velocity of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{4800\ m}{6.66667\ m/s}

t = 719.99 seconds

t = 720 seconds

or

t = 12 minutes

So, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is 12 minutes. Yes, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is reasonable. Hence, this is the required solution.

A meteorologist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

563.86 N

Explanation:

We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.

F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m

So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F =  1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3

= 1691.58 N/3

= 563.86 N

If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.

What is carbon dating
Tom [10]

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

A 0.1 kg beach ball hit me moving forward at 4 m/s. After hitting me, it bounced back moving at the same speed
xenn [34]

0.4 N-s is the "impulse" acted on the "beach ball".

Option: C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the "beach ball" is 0.1 kg.

The speed of the ball hits is 4 m/s.

We know that,

Whenever an object is collide with other object then an impulse is acted on object, this "impulse" causes "change in momentum".

Impulse acted on the beach ball is "mass" times "velocity".

Impulse = mass × velocity

Impulse = 0.1 × 4

Impulse = 0.4 kg m/s

Impulse = 0.4 N-s

Therefore, the "impulse" acted on the ball is 0.4 N-s.
