Answer:

A. 6 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity is calculated by finding the velocity at that particular instant....this is done by dividing the distance by the Time taken...

Velocity = distance/time

Velocity = 60/10

Velocity= 6

Velocity = 6m/s

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

R S ( M ) = 2 G M c 2 , where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light. It is okay if you do not follow the d
padilas [110]

The provided question's answer is "Schwarzschild radius".

The conversion factor between mass and energy is the speed of light squared.

GM/r stands for gravitational potential energy, also known as energy per unit mass.

GM/rc² then has "mass per unit mass" units. In other words, as mass/mass splits out in a dimensional analysis, "dimensionless per unit."

The derivation yields a formula for time or space coordinate ratios requiring sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²). This number becomes 0 when r=2GM/c2, or the formula becomes infinite if in the denominator. However, there is no justification for using c² as a conversion factor there. Consider the initial expression sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²).

Assume that m is used as the test particle's mass instead of 1. Then you have sqrt(m - 2GMm/rc² and mass units. This expression denotes that the rest energy of the test mass m you introduced into the gravitational field is "gone" at that radius.

The 2 would be absent if the gravitational field were Newtonian. However, at the event horizon, Einstein gravity is slightly stronger than Newton gravity, resulting in the factor 2 in qualitative terms.

So, the given equation is of Schwarzschild radius.

A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.
kolezko [41]
In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6

What are 3 examples of elastic collisions?
Andre45 [30]
QUICK ANSWER

The collision between two gas molecules or billiard balls can be approximated as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are exchanges of kinetic energy between two bodies having different reference frames in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after collision is equal to the energy before collision.'
