Answer: $45.71 mi/h$

Explanation:

Speed $S$ is defined a:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$d=32 miles$ is the traveled distance

$t=42 min \frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.7 h$ is the time

Solving:

$S=\frac{32 miles}{0.7 h}$

$S=45.71 mi/h$ This is the speed

How does the momentum of a 75 kilogram stationary football player compare with that of a 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity

pashok25 [27]

Momentum of an object = (its mass) x (its speed) .

Since speed is a factor of momentum, an object that
isn't moving doesn't have any.

-- The moving player has momentum.

-- The stationary one doesn't.

How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?

MatroZZZ [7]

The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorocar that was moving with a high velocity on

VikaD [51]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

Momentum of the car and insect system before collision = Momentum of the car and insect

system after collision

Hence, the change in momentum of the car and insect system is zero.

The insect gets stuck on the windscreen. This means that the direction of the insect is

reversed. As a result, the velocity of the insect changes to a great amount. On the other hand,

the car continues moving with a constant velocity. Hence, Kiran’s suggestion that the insect

suffers a greater change in momentum as compared to the car is correct. The momentum of

the insect after collision becomes very high because the car is moving at a high speed.

Therefore, the momentum gained by the insect is equal to the momentum lost by the car.

Akhtar made a correct conclusion because the mass of the car is very large as compared to

the mass of the insect.

Rahul gave a correct explanation as both the car and the insect experienced equal forces

caused by the Newton’s action-reaction law. But, he made an incorrect statement as the

system suffers a change in momentum because the momentum before the collision is equal to

the momentum after the collision.

42,43 and 44 please

42) The sailboat travels east with velocity $v_e=30 mph$ , while the current moves south with speed $v_s=30 mph$ . Since the two velocities are perpendicular to each other, he resultant velocity will be given by the Pytagorean theorem:
$v= \sqrt{v_e^2+v_s^2}= \sqrt{(30)^2+(30)^2}=42 mph$
and the direction is in between the two original directions, therefore south-east. So, the correct answer is
D) 42 mph southeast

43) Since the light moves by uniform motion, we can calculate the distance corresponding to one light year by using the basic relationship between velocity, space and time. In fact, we know the velocity:
$v=300,000,000 m/s=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$
and the time is one year, corresponding to:
$t=32,000,000 s=3.2 \cdot 10^7 s$
therefore, the distance corresponding to one light year is:
$S=vt=(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(3.2 \cdot 10^7 s)=9.6 \cdot 10^{15}m$
Therefore, the correct answer is D.

44) For the purpose of the problem, we can assume that the light travels instantaneously from the flash to us (because the distances involved are very small), so the time between the flash and the thunder corresponds to the time it took for the sound to travel to us.
The speed of sound is
$v=1100 ft/s=750 mph=335 m/s$
And since the time between the flash and the thunder is t=3 s, the distance is
$S=vt=(335 m/s)(3 s)=1005 m=0.62 miles$
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 3/5 mile.

a professional athlete who takes dance or gymnastics to improve their skills in their professional sport.

scoundrel [369]

Yes, many professional athletes will take dance classes to improve their skills. Such as football players to improve their footwork and use other muscles they wouldn't use while doing just push ups.
