Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

nikklg [1K]
Given:
F = 39 N, the force applied
t = 2 s, the time interval in which the force is applied.

By definition, the impulse is
I = \int_{0}^{2} F(t) dt = \int _{0}^{2} 39dt = 39*2=78 \, N-s

Answer: 78 N-s

A brand new corvette can go from 0 to 85 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

(A) 7.9 m/s^{2}  

(B) 19 m/s

(C) 91 m

Explanation:

initial velocity (U) = 0 mph = 0 m/s

final velocity (V) = 85 mph = 85 x 0.447 = 38 m/s

initial time (ti) = 0 s

final time (t) = 4.8 s

(A) acceleration = \frac{V-U}{t}

         = \frac{38-0}{4.8} = 7.9 m/s^{2}  

(B) average velocity = \frac{V+U}{2}

     =\frac{38+0}{2} = 19 m/s

(C) distance travelled (S) = ut + 0.5at^{2}

  =  (0 x 4.8) + 0.5 x 7.9 x 4.8^{2} = 91 m

How does heat conduction work
Musya8 [376]
Heat energy can move through a substance by conduction. Metals are good conductors of heat, but non-metals and gases are usually poor conductors of heat. Poor conductors of heat are called insulators. Heat energy is conducted from the hot end of an object to the cold end.
