The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box=u=13m/s

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Substitute the values

(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)

132.25-169=17a

-36.75=17a

a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2

We know that

Acceleration=a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Substitute the values

-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}

-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}

t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s

How did Orsted discover Electromagnetism?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Hans Christian Oersted began a new scientific epoch when he discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showed by experiment that an electric current flowing through a wire could move a nearby magnet. The discovery of electromagnetism set the stage for the eventual development of our modern technology-based world.

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

A 1.45 kg 1.45 kg falcon catches a 0.415 kg 0.415 kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falc
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The velocity is 21.5m/s

Explanation:

Let's call:

M1 and V1 as the mass and velocity of the falcon:

M1 = 1.45kg

V1 = 26.5m/s

M2 and V2 as the mass and velocity of the dove:

M2 = 0.415kg

V2 = 4.35m/s

Where both velocities are positive because both animals move in the same direction.

We can think that the interaction between both animals is a perfectly inelastic collision, because afther the interaction they move as one. Then, we have that the final velocity of both animals togheter is:

V = (V1*M1 + V2*M2)/(M1 + M2)

V = (1.45kg*26.5m/s + 0.415kg*4.35m/s)/(1.45kg + 0.415kg) = 21.5m/s
