Answer:

(1) 2.25m/s^2

(2) 45.6m

Explanation:

(1) A car accelerates uniformly from 12m/s to 39m/s in 12 seconds

Therefore the average acceleration can be calculated as follows

a = 39-12/12

a = 27/12

a= 2.25m/s^2

(2) A butterfly is flying at 4m/s , it accelerates uniformly at 1.2 m/s for 6 seconds

u= 4

a= 1.2

t= 6

Therefore the distance can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 4×6 + 1/2 × 1.2 × 6^2

= 24 + 1/2 × 1.2 × 36

= 24 + 1/2 × 43.2

= 24 + 21.6

S = 45.6m

Hence the butterfly travels at 45.6m

AlexFokin [52]

This co -relates to continent drift theory.

This theory states that the outer rigid layer of the earth or the lithosphere is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across he earth's surface relative to each other. That is why Alfred Wegener noticed that Africa and South America seem to fit together.

Though Wegener's hypothesis lacked a geological mechanism to explain how the continents could drift across the earth's surface as he proposed.

An object is projected upward from the surface of the earth with an initial speed of 3.7 km/s. find the maximum height it reache

Mariulka [41]

The kinetic energy of the object just after it starts its motion from the Earth surface is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the object mass and $v=3.7 km/s=3700 m/s$ its initial speed.
When it reaches its maximum height, the object speed is zero and all its kinetic energy converted into gravitational potential energy, which is
$U=mgh$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and h is the maximum height reached by the object.

Since the energy of the object must be conserved, K=U, therefore we can write
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =mgh$
and we can solve to find h, the maximum height:
$h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(3700 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}= 6.98 \cdot 10^5 m=698 km$
