Answer:

7.91 m/s

Explanation:

Speed: This can be defined as the ratio of this to time. Speed can also be the magnitude of a velocity or speed is velocity without direction.

The S.I unit of speed is m/s.

From the question,

K.E = 1/2(mv²)................ Equation 1

Where K.E = Kinetic Energy, m = mass of the runner, v = velocity of the runner.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2K.E/m).................Equation 2

Given: K.E = 1.09×10³ J, m = 34.8 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2× 1.09×10³/34.8)

v = √(62.64)

v = 7.91 m/s.

Hence the speed of the runner = 7.91 m/s

_________ are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

KatRina [158]

Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

Imagine you are mpho:how can you help your friend (phenyo) not to be influenced by media? you really feel she needs some help be

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

One of the ways to help someone not to be influenced by media is:

Encourage independent thinking.
Let her know that she should make sure the information she is consuming is free from bias and is factual.

<h3>What is Media Influence?</h3>

This refers to the effects and reactions which the mass media has on the people who listen to them by shaping their views and by controlling the narrative.

With this in mind, we can note that if a person is overtly influenced by the media, then such a person lacks independent thinking and becomes emotional by what he watches on the television or reads from an online source.

This can be changed through the encouragement of independent thinking, and the need to check for factual information from the media news and also to focus more on studies.

With two identical light bulbs and two identical batteries how would you arrange in order to get the maximum total power to the

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The batteries would be connected in series while the bulbs would be connected in parallel

Explanation:

Power (W) = VI

where V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance

from V = IR , I = V/R

Power (W) now becomes = V (V/R) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

Power (W) = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

from the above equation, power is directly dependent on voltage, hence the voltage has to be high for the power to be high and the power is also inversely dependent on the resistance (in this case the bulbs which act as the load)

We have to batteries, when batteries are connected in series the total voltage becomes the summation of the two voltages hence giving a higher voltage and when they are connected in parallel their voltage remains the same. Since we want to get higher voltage we will connect the two batteries in series.
we have two bulbs which are the resistance here, from the equation above the power is inversely dependent on the resistance so we would need its value to be minimal. When resistance is connected in series the resistance individual will be added to get the total resistance, hence the total resistance will be high but when the resistors are arranged in parallel you get the total resistance by applying the formula $\frac{R1R2}{R1+R2}$ which will give us a lower resistance. Hence we would connect the bulbs in parallel.

Take note that the power from this connection should not exceed the bulbs power rating so as to avoid damage of the bulbs.
