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 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.

How do you think the amount of a material affects its tendency to sink or float?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Things float when they are positively buoyant, or less dense than the fluid in which they are sitting. This does not mean that an object has to be lighter than the fluid, as in the case of a boat; objects just need to have a greater ratio of empty space to mass than the fluid.

Despite the risks, Human populations can be found near volcanoes. This can be associated with the availability of which natural resource?

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is the form of energy obtained from the heat of the earth. Near volcanoes the land is more hot compared to the normal areas. So, the heat of the lava will help in producing Geothermal energy...~

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a

Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$

Where,

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$v_{1,2}$ = Initial Velocity of Each object

$V_f$ = Final Velocity

Our values are given as

$m_1 = 2190Kg$

$v_1 =10.5m/s$

$m_2 = 3220kg$

$V_f = 4.74m/s$

Replacing we have that

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$

$(2190)(10.5)+(3220)v_2 = (2190+3220)(4.74)$

$v_2 = 0.8224m/s$

Therefore the the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision was 0.8224m/s

Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

What selective pressures favored an increase in brain size in hominid primates?

Viktor [21]

The colossal brains of people are to a great extent because of one segment the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the focal point of dialect, rationale, critical thinking, and data preparing. A high bent in these territories would be exceptionally favorable to primitive seekers.
