Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.

Assuming that they start at the same point and the same time, how much sooner does the faster student arrive at a destination 780 m away? b. How far would the students have to walk so that the faster student arrives 5.50 min before the slower student?

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Plugging in 330 seconds from time 1 and time 2 into the distance equations would give you 627 and 297 meters not seconds.. unless I’m misunderstanding something?

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer

Sliva [168]

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

$=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m$

Here the direction is

$\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}$

Then the direction is $26.6^{o}$ North-west.

Consider the possible scenarios and determine which of them are true for positive feedbacks or negative feedbacks.A. Increased p

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Scenario A, B and E is True.

Explanation:

Scenario A) True. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario B) True. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario C) False. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario D) False. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario E) True. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

Scenario F) False. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, $m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg$

Mass of the truck, $m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg$

Initial velocity of the car, $u_1=22\ m/s$

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2$

$v_2=15.7\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Which substance has a melting point greater than room temperature?

blagie [28]

Answer:

I think the answer is D.)

Explanation:

If it means something needs to melt into liquid i would have gone with B.) or C.) but since it doesn't specifiy. I thought D.) since all you have to do is heat it and it melts or boils.
