Answer:

0.39 km west

Explanation:

The position of Runner A is:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 t

The position of Runner B is:

x = 4.2 − 7.6 t

When the positions are equal:

-5.7 + 8.8 t = 4.2 − 7.6 t

16.4 t = 9.9

t = 0.604

Plug into either equation to find the position at this time:

x = -5.7 + 8.8 (0.604)

x = -0.39

The runners are 0.39 km west of the flagpole when they meet.

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2kg, is traveling along the line y=6.00m
frutty [35]

Answer:

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

mA = 55.2 Kg

vA = 3.45 m/s

rA = 6.00 m

mB = 62.4 Kg

vB = 4.23 m/s

rB = 3.00 m

mC = 72.1 Kg

vC = 4.75 m/s

rC = - 5.00 m

then we apply the equation

L =  (mv x r)

⇒  LA = mA*vA x rA = 55.2 *(3.45 i)x(6 j) = (1142.64 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LB = mB*vB x rB = 62.4 *(4.23 j)x(3 i) = (- 791.856 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LC = mC*vC x rC = 72.1 *(- 4.75 j)x(- 5 i) = (- 1712.375 k) Kgm/s

Finally, the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin is

L = LA + LB + LC = (1142.64 - 791.856 -1712.375) k  Kgm/s

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Describe the valence electrons in nitrogen and how it could bond to other atoms?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is because each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can complete its octet by sharing three electrons.

I hope this helps!

Which of the following statement(s) is
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as amplitude modulation detectors (envelope detectors) of radio signals. Rectifiers are most commonly made using solid state diodes but other type of components can be used when very high voltages or currents are involved. When only a single diode is used to rectify AC (by blocking the negative or positive portion of the waveform), the difference between the term diode and the term rectifier is simply one of usage. The term rectifier describes a diode that is being used to convert AC to DC. Most rectifier circuits contain a number of diodes in a specific arrangement to more efficiently convert AC power to DC power than is possible with only a single diode.

A knight moves on a chessboard two squares up, down, left, or right followedby one square in one of the two directions perpendic
Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution.

Generally the movement of the knight is L, i.e (2,1), (1,2),(-1,2),(1,-2) etc.

So using Pythagoras theorem

x^2+y^2=1^2+2^2

x^2+y^2=5

Then, the knight will make one movement when the displacement is √5.

So let take a look at other positions

(1,0),(0,1),(-1,0), (0,-1).

Then, for us to have this kind of movement, the knight has to make 3 movements.

When the displacement is 1, then it will make 3 movement.

Let examine other positions

(2,2) or(-2,-2) or (2,-2) or (-2,2)

When the displacement is √8

Then, the movement of the knight is 4.

Let examine other points

(2,0) or (0,2) or (-2,0) or (0,-2)

When the displacement is 2.

The knight make 2 movement
