Answer

2.7778 m/s

Explanation

Speed is rate of change of distance with time.

It is the distance covered in a unit time. SI units of speed in m/s. Other units are Km/h, knots e.t.c

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time taken)

= 7.5 Km / 45 Min

= 1/6 Km/Min

Or,

7.5Km = (7.5 × 1000) m = 7500 m

45 min = 45 × 60 2700 seconds

Average speed = 7500/2700

= 2.7778 m/s

To calculate for the average speed, we simply divide the total distance covered by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, we simply divide 7.5 km with 45 min. Therefore, the skier's average speed is 0.1667 km/min. Hope this helps.

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is:

Closed

Explanation:

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is said to be a closed system.

In a closed system, energy can be exchange but matter cannot be exchanged.

A closed system sightly permits the only certain types of exchange.
These systems are usually used to control and limit the impact of the environment on a system.
Experiments can be conducted on the premises of any the interactions.

A uniform solid disk of mass 5.00 kg and diameter 47.0 cm starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a 40.0 ∘ incline that

Answer:

The speed it reaches the bottom is

$v=6.51m/s$

Explanation:

Given: $m=5.0kg$ , $r=47cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.47m$

Using the conservation of energy theorem

$U_i=K_E+K_{ER}$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2+\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2$

$v=r*w$ , $I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{1}{2}*m*(r*w)^2 +\frac{1}{2}*[\frac{1}{2} *m*r^2]*w^2$

$m*g*h=\frac{3}{4}*m*r^2*w^2$

$g*h=\frac{3}{4}*r^2*w^2$

Solve to w'

$w^2=\frac{4*g*h}{3*r^2}$

$h=x*sin(30)=6.5m*sin(30)=3.25m$

$w=\sqrt{\frac{4*9.8m/s^2*3.25m}{3*(0.235m)^2}}$

$w=27.74rad/s$

$v=27.74rad/s*0.235m=6.51m/s$

Explanation:

Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves. These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd. You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.

Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave. In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium. Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.

What does keplers second law of planetary monition imply

Gemiola [76]

Kepler's second law of planetary motion describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the sun. It states that a line between the sun and the planetsweeps equal areas in equal times. Thus, the speed of theplanet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.
