Bill and Amy want to ride their bikes from their neighborhood to school which is 14.4 kilometers

1 answer:

3 0

First we should convert 14.4 km into meters using the conversion factor 1km = 1000m; thus, 14.4 km = 14,400 m. Next, we should convert all minutes into seconds <span>using the conversion factor 1 min = 60 seconds; thus, 40 mins = 2400 seconds while 20 minutes = 1200 seconds.
Speed = distance over time
Amy's speed = 14400 m / 2400 sec = 6m/s
Bill's time is 1200 sec + Amy's which is 2400 sec
Bill's speed = 14400m / 3600 sec = 4 m/s

Therefore, Amy is faster than Bill with 2 m/s difference.</span>

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate

From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

If the ball shown in the figure lands in 0.5 s, about what height was it thrown from?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 1.22 m

Explanation:

The equation of motion in this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball

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

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin(0\°)=0$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity (assuming the ball was thrown vertically and there is no horizontal velocity)

$t=0.5 s$ is the time at which the ball lands

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

So, with these conditions the equation is rewritten as:

$h=\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

$h=\frac{9.8 m/s^{2}}{2}(0.5 s)^{2}$ (3)

Finally:

$h=1.22 m$

Tju [1.3M]

Every organism may classified into seven level of classifications, such that each level contains organisms with similar characteristics. Kingdom is the largest and the broadest level of classification while species is the smallest and most specific level of classification. Therefore from the largest to the smallest the order is as follows:
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
