I'm probably going to have to say C. E as it seems the steepest right around there. If I'm wrong on that, it has to be B. B

Answer:

The velocity is greatest at B.

Explanation:

The velocity or instantaneous rate of change is represented on a sketch by the slope of the position curve at a point.

Analyzing the points.

The slope at points F or D have slope as 0, since we have flat tangent lines for them.

The slope for point E is negative, since the curve is decreasing.

The slope for point B is positive, since the curve is increasing at B.

Thus the greatest value of the velocity is point B due the curve is increasing at that point, and the velocity is represented by its slope.

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from

ElenaW [278]

When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation $vf^{2}=0+2*a*s$ where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
$vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}$
$vf =134.164 (m/s)$

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
$v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}
$
$v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})$

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰ $P= \frac{v}{vf}= \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707$

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Well, the relationship between the net force and mass and acceleration of an object are directly related, as per the equation - Fnet = ma.

Thus the solution is A. As the net force of an object decreases, the object's acceleration also decreases, mass is kept constant.

two vectors have a magnitude of 2.5km and 6.5 km . Predict the maximum and minimum magnitudes of their resultant vector

agasfer [191]

The maximum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel and in the same direction, so they lie on the same axis. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vector is simply the sum of the two magnitudes:

$R=2.5 km+6.5 km=9.0 km$

The minimum magnitude of their resultant vector is when the two vectors are parallel but in opposite direction. In this case, the magnitude of their resultant vectors is just the difference between the two magnitudes:

$R=6.5 km-2.5 km=4.0 km$

Which electromagnetic radiation can be seen with the human eye

liraira [26]

Answer:the human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves 400 to 720 nano-meters long so we cant see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. this also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves thus being invisible to the human eye
