Answer:

The person travelled a total distance of (40+30) feet = 70 feet

Displacement= 50feet (im not positive on the displancement)

displacemeny is the shortest distance between two pionts

When placed in direct sunlight, which an object will absorb the most visible light energy

I would guess anything that is black? black absorbs there most light energy. that's is why a black car in the sun will always be hotter inside than a white car.

It is 2058 and you are taking your grandchildren to Mars. At an elevation of 34.7 km above the surface of Mars, your spacecraft

Paul [167]

Answer: $1.23\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

At an elevation of $y=34.7\ km$ , spacecraft is dropping vertically at a speed of $u=293\ m/s$

Final velocity of the spacecraft is $v=0$

using equation of motion i.e. $v^2-u^2=2as$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 0-(293)^2=2\times a\times (34.7\times 10^3)\\\\\Rightarrow a=-\dfrac{293^2}{2\times 34.7\times 10^3}\\\\\Rightarrow a=-1.23\ m/s^2$

Therefore, magnitude of acceleration is $1.23\ m/s^2$ .

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let $X_A$ be its distance. In t hours he has walked

$X_A=5t\ \text{miles}$

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

$X_B=6t\ \text{miles}$

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

$D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{61}t$

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

$\sqrt{61}t=2$

$t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours$

t is approximately 15 minutes

A baseball pitcher throws the ball towards the batter at 90 mph. His bat connects with the ball for a line drive, after which th

forsale [732]

Answer:

$F=-18412.9N$ , where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

$1\ hour = 3600\ seconds$

$1\ mile = 1600\ meters$

$1000g = 1kg$

We can write that:

$\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1$

$\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1$

$\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1$

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

$90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s$

$110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s$

$145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg$

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ , so we have:

$F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

$F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N$
