Answer:
10 seconds
Explanation:
We have the equation V = at (speed = acceleration x time)
We want to find the time, so can rearrange to T = V/a (time = speed / acceleration).
From the question, we know V is 5 and a is 0.5.
Now we can substitute that into our equation: 5/0.5 = 10.
So the time is 10 seconds.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
D is the best answer. In many physics problems we treat an extended object as if it were a point with the same mass located at the center of mass.
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
Answer:
The weight of measuring stick is 9.8 N
Explanation:
given information:
the mass of the rock, 
= 1 kg
measuring stick, x =1 m
d = 0.25 m
to find the weight of measuring stick, we can use the following equation:
τ = Fd
τ = 0
- 
= 0
F_{r} = the force of the rock
F_{s} = the force of measuring stick
= m g
= 1 kg x 9.8 m/s
= 9.8 N
thus, the weight of measuring stick is 9.8 N
Theories have both an explanatory an a predictive function. True
