The things that a scientist should consider while observing the force is the environmental conditions,the force that is expected to act on the dam, the means to contain that force, and compare different types of designs in accordance with the location of the dam

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10.0 km race in a time of 27 min , 43.6 s . Suppose "Pre" was at the 7.43 km mark a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 0.101 m/s²

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance / total time.

At the 7.43km mark, total distance = 7.43km or 7430m

Total time = 25 * 60 s = 1500s

Average speed = 7430m/1500s = 4.95m/s

He then covers (10 - 7.43)km = 2.57 km = 2570 m

in t = 27m43.6s - 25min = 2m43.6s = 163.6 s

Then he accelerates for 60 s, and maintains this velocity V, for the remaining (163.6 - 60)s = 103.6 s.

From V = u + at; V = 4.95m/s + a *60s

Distance covered while accelerating is

s = ut + ½at² = 4.95m/s * 60s + ½ a *(60s)² = 297m + a*1800s²

Distance covered while at constant velocity, v after accelerating is

D = velocity * time

Where v = 4.95m/s + a*60s

D = (4.95m/s + a*60s) * 103.6s = 512.82m + a*6216s²

Total distance covered after initial 7.43 km, S + D = 2570 m, so

2570 m = 297m + a*1800s² + 512.82m + a*6216s²

2570 = 809.82 + a*8016

a = 809.82m / 8016s² = 0.101 m/s²

Physics help please

zhuklara [117]

Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component.</u> Being their main equations as follows:

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x=52 m$ is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

$V_{o}$ is the ball's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

$t$ is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=120m$ is the initial height of the ball

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding $t$ from (2):

<u></u>

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (4)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

$t=4.948 s$ (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t$ (7)

And find $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}$ (9)

$V_{o}=10.509 m/s$ (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity $V$ :

$V=V_{o} + gt$ (11)

$V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s)$ (12)

$V=-37.981 m/s$ (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the <u>ball's final speed</u>, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

What’s the dependent variable?

Nikolay [14]

Answer: number of bacteria

Explanation:

A easier way. I like to remember it is that x axis = independent and yaxis = dependent variable, but if that doesn’t help think about this

Why would the number of bacteria effect the amount of time. It doesn’t make sense because time goes on forever and nothing can change about it but time can change the number of bacteria because if you had a timer of 30 seconds and the bacteria is for example 10 and if you had a timer of one minute then the number of bacteria change because of time, if you flip it, it doesn’t make sense
