Heather and Matthew take 45 s to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 72 m away. What is their average velocity?

Physics

5 0

Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.<u>FLASHLIGHT</u>:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.<u>ELECTRIC SAW</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.<u>TOASTER</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.<u>GAS POWERED SCOOTER</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.<u>THE SUN</u>:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.<u>WIND TURBINE</u>:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.<u>IPOD</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.<u>SPEAKER VIBRATES</u>

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.

URGENT BY THE WAY!
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

So Nessa went so fast it made her pass the tile in a second. Lets take a look at this problem, It says "the" tile so we should assume that it means 1 tile. Then draw a diagram representing that tile then you should have your problem finished. Hope that helped and I'm willing to help if you have anymore questions!

A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once per time interval of 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this period. The d
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a. 0.275m/s

b. 1.08m

Explanation:

Since the duck the paddle the water at an interval of 1.6sec, we can determine the frequency of the wave formed using the equation

f=1/T

Where T is the period.

f=1/1.6

f=0.625Hz.

Also from the equation used in determining the speed of a wave

V=fλ,

v=0.625*0.2

v=0.125m/s

in the question it was stated that that the duck produce a wave moving at a speed of 0.40m/s.

Hence the speed of the duck is

v(duck)=0.40-0.125

v(duck)=0.275m/s

b. The distance between the crest behind the duck is the wavelength of the waves.

To determine this, the wavelength is expressed as

λ=v/f

but the speed in this case is the speed of the duck and the surface wave,as this account for the wave speed behind the duck,

Hence we have

λ=(0.40+0.275)/0.625

λ=1.08m.

The wavelength behind the duck is 1.08m
