A molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds

1-A car moves toward east 12km is represented as A and it turns towards south 16km is represented as B. What is the resultant ve

1. A-20 km south east

The car's displacement consists of two components into two different directions. Using a system of coordinates in which x represents the east direction and y represents the south direction, the two displacements are:

$d_x = 12 km$ east

$d_y = 16 km$ south

Since the two components are orthogonal to each other, we can find the resultant displacement by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(12 km)^2+(16 km)^2}=\sqrt{400}=20 km$

and the direction is between the two original directions, so south-east.

2. D. 10 m/s

First of all, we need to calculate the total time the stone took to hit the ground. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 78.4 m, and since the motion is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, we have

$S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

From which we find the total time of the fall, t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(78.4 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=4 s$

Now we can consider the horizontal motion of the stone: we know that the stone travels for d = 40 m in a time of t = 4 s, therefore the horizontal velocity of the stone is

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{40 m}{4 s}=10 m/s$

3. B=32.32 m

As in the previous problem, we have to calculate the total time it takes for the stone to reach the river first. Since the vertical distance covered is S = 20 m, we have

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=2.0 s$

And since the stone is traveling horizontally at v = 16 m/s, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=vt=(16 m/s)(2 s)=32 m$

So, the closest answer is B.

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called

svlad2 [7]

<h2>Answer: Temperature </h2>

Temperature is a physical quantity that reflects the amount of heat in a body or medium. This amount of heat is related to the internal energy of a system (thermodynamically speaking), <u>according to the movement (speed) of each of the particles that compose it</u>, this means that it is related to its kinetic energy.

Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the higher the thermal energy in the system and the higher the temperature.

Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. Andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far

marta [7]

a) Their angular speeds are the same

b) Andrea's tangential speed is twice the value of Chuck's tangential speed

Explanation:

The angular speed of Andrea and Chuck is the same.

Let's call $\omega$ the angular speed at which the merry-go-round is rotating. We know that the angular speed is defined as:

$\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}$

where

$2 \pi$ is the angular displacement covered in one revolution

T is the period of revolution

The merry go round is a rigid body, so all its point cover the same angular displacement in the same time: this means that it doesn't matter where Andrea and Chuck are located along the merry-go-round, their angular speed will still be the same.

For an object in circular motion, the tangential speed is given by

$v=\omega r$
