That statement describes both the snail's velocity AND acceleration.

-- "rate", "northerly" . . . speed and direction ==> velocity

-- "constant rate" . . . zero acceleration

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.65 m/s froma height of 29.0 m. After what time interval does it st
coldgirl [10]

Answer: 1.77 s

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the kinematic equation for the position, so we have:

xf= xo+vo*t+(g*t^2)/2  we can consider the origin on the top so the xo=0 and xf=29 m; then

(g*t^2)/2+vo*t-xf=0  vo is the initail velocity, vo=7.65 m/s

then by solving the quadratric equation in t

t=1.77 s

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

A gas hot water heater is 65% efficient. The energy output to heat the water is 2.3 kWh.
Art [367]

Answer:

3.5 kWh

1.2 kWh are lost

Explanation:

65=2.3/Ein*100

0.65=2.3/Ein

Ein=2.3/.65

Ein=3.5

3.5-2.3=1.2 kWh
