Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity $V$ will be expressed by the following equation:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$d$ is the ant's total displacement

$t$ is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}$

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})$

In this case:

W=?
m= 2,145 kg
v2= 12 $\frac{m}{s}$

v1= 25 $\frac{m}{s}$

Replacing:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})$

W= -515,872.5 J

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Which is the mode of the following data? 120, 125, 130, 125, 135

Aleks [24]

The mode in this case would be 125 because it occurs the most in the sequence of numbers.

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A

viktelen [127]

A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes. Forces on the balloon are unbalanced.
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.

An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating. That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes. The direction in which the car was moving changed.
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact.

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes. The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room. So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too.
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.
