Answer:

520 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of the Boeing 747 be x miles per hour.

The small airplane covers distance of 780 miles with speed 260 miles per hour.

Also,

After 1.5 hours the Boeing 747 leave the same place and reaches at same time. Both covered distance of 780 miles.

So,

<u>Time taken by Boeing 747 + 1.5 hours = Time taken by small plane.</u>

Also,

Time =  Distance/ speed

So,

780 / x + 1.5 = 780/ 260

Solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 520 miles per hour</u>

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration
lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

 Average velocity  = \frac{total distance }{time }  

 Total time taken  = 5s + 6s  = 11s

The first distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

     second distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 6  = 8.4m

So;

  Average velocity  = \frac{7 + 8.4}{11}    = 1.4m/s

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

A 0.5 kg rock is dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the ground. Approximately how much kinetic energy will be stored in the ro
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2.45 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Height (h) = 1 m

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 1/2 = 0.5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 0.5)

v² = 9.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √9.8

v = 3.13 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.5 kg

Velocity (v) = 3.13 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.5 × 3.13²

KE = 0.25 × 9.8

KE = 2.45 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way is 2.45 J
