Speed:

v = \frac{500 \,\,\mbox{miles}}{3.7 \,\,\mbox{h}}\approx 135.14 mph

Velocity:

Velocity os speed with director (an oriented vector):

The velocity is 135.14 mph in the direction east

Metals in group 2 on the period table most commonly form which type
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

alkaline earth metals

Group 2 metals, the alkaline earth metals, have 2 valence electrons, and thus form M2+ ions. The halogens, Group 17 , reach a full valence shell upon reduction, and thus form X− ions

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) from behind while going 15 m/s Immediately after the collision, car B mov
Mamont248 [21]

Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}

Final kinetic energy is :

K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

Two friends leave a movie theater and take different busses to the same ice cream shop. one bus takes a longer route driving on
irinina [24]

The friend who has the greater displacement is the one who takes the longest path.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

The displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the particle. It is the vector quantity which re[presents both the magnitude and direction.

Given, two friends leave a movie theater and take different buses to the same ice cream shop. One bus takes a longer route driving on a high-speed highway, while the other takes a shorter route on lower-speed local roads.

According to the definition. the displacement is neither larger not shorter but it is the shortest distance traveled by the person or particle.

Thus, friend who has longer path has larger displacement.

Learn more about displacement.
