Answer:

Average velocity = 1.69 m/s

Average speed = 5.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Horse cover 37 m in 9.1 sec and 18.5 m in 1.8 sec.

As we know that

Average velocity = Displacement / Total time

Average speed  = Total distance / Total time

Average velocity:

  Average velocity = Displacement / Total time

Total displacement = 37 - 18.5 = 18.5 m

Total time = 9.1 + 1.8 =10.9 s

Average velocity = Displacement / Total time

Average velocity = 18.5 / 10.9

Average velocity = 1.69 m/s

Average speed:

  Average speed = Total distance/ Total time

Total distance = 37 + 18.5 = 55.5 m

Total time = 9.1 + 1.8 =10.9 s

Average speed = Total distance/ Total time

Average speed = 55.5 / 10.9

Average speed = 5.09 m/s

A force of 10N is applied by a boy while lifting a 20,000g mass. How much does it accelerate by?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

0.5 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

20000g to kg = \frac{20000}{1000} = 20 kg

f = ma

a = \frac{f}{m}

a =\frac{10}{20}

a = \frac{1}{2}

a = 0.5 m/s^{2}

You walked a dog 0.75 miles. how many kilometers did you walk? (1 mile equals about 1.61 km)
Digiron [165]
What we have so far:
*Distance you walked the dog = 0.75 miles
*Conversion: 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers

What we are trying to find:
*Distance you walked the dog in kilometers.

To solve this problem we must:
*We must employ conversion first.
Step 1) 0.75miles x 1.61km/1miles <--- Multiplication will be employed.

Step 2) 0.75 x 1.61/1 (km)<--- notice that we deleted the unit "miles". We did that to make sure that the result will be in kilometers (km).

Step 3) 0.75 x 1.61(km) <--- Since we are already done with the conversion process, we now have to multiply the distance and the conversion factor.

Step 4) 1.2075km <--- Raw result.

Step 5) Rounding it up to two decimal places: 1.21km

Therefore, the correct answer is: D. 1.21km

An important aspect of fission reactions is that they produce _______________ which allow for chain reactions.
natulia [17]

Answer:

B. neutrons

Explanation:

When a free neutron hits the nucleus of a fissile atom like uranium-235 (235U), the uranium splits into two smaller atoms called fission fragments, plus more neutrons. Fission can be self-sustaining because it produces more neutrons with the speed required to cause new fissions. This creates the chain reaction.
