Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

A bus travels 300 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 85 km/h to the south. The bus stops for 22 minutes.
Kruka [31]

a) Answer;

= 6.72 hours

Explanation and solution;

velocity = distance over time  

Since we know the velocity and the distance, we can simply calculate time  

For the first part  

85 km/h = 300km / time  

time = 3.53 hours  

Then there is a 22 min stop, which is the same as 0.37 hours  

so far the trip is:  

3.53 + 0.37 = 3.9 hours  

then for the last stretch:  

78 km/h = 220 km / time  

time = 2.82 hours  

So the total trip is:  

3.9 + 2.82  = 6.72 hours

b) Answer;  

=  77.38 km/hr

Explanation and solution;

we take the total distance divided by the total time to get the average.  

total distance = 300 km + 220 km = 520 km  

total time = 6.72 hours  

Average velocity = 520 km / 6.72 hours =  77.38 km/hr

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
fgiga [73]
Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here. 

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>

A machine has a mechanical advantage of 4.5. What force is put out by the machine if the force applied to the machine is 800 N?
Ghella [55]

If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .

We know the input force, and we need to find the output force.  Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there.  OK ?

Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)

Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)

Now dooda multiplication:

<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .  

That's exactly what the question asked for.  So we're done !
