Answer:

4 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance travalled (d) = 20 m

Time (t) = 5 secs

Speed (S) =?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance moved with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed (S) = Distance (d) /time (t)

S = d/t

With the above formula, we can easily calculate the speed of the individual as follow:

Distance travalled (d) = 20 m

Time (t) = 5 secs

Speed (S) =?

S = d/t

S = 20/5

S = 4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the individual is 4 m/s

Two spacecraft are both 10 million kilometers from a star. The total power output of the star is 4 x 1025 W. Spacecraft 1 has a

Ksenya-84 [330]

The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

$P = A*I$

Our values are given under the condition of,

$r_1 = 18m$

$r_2 = m$

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between $\pi$ times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

$\text{Power} \propto r^2$

For both panels we would have to

$\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9$

Therefore the correct option is option C.9

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Explanation:

Given data:

$F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N$

$F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N$

$d_{in} = 20 \ m$

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be $d_{out}.$

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

$W_{in} = W_{out}$

$F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}$

$\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}$

$\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}$

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on

sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.

C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h
