Answer:

B) The speed is constant and velocity is changing.

Explanation:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken. In this case, the speed is constant, and it is 110 km/h.

- Velocity is a vector quantity, which consists of a) a magnitude (which is the speed) and b) a direction. In this problem, the speed is constant, however the velocity is changing, because the direction of the car is changing at every moment (in fact, the track is a circle, so the direction is always changing).

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the
wariber [46]
First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that <em>Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.</em>

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?
Marysya12 [62]
Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.

Well, i would tell the kid that light is electromagnetic radiation which is visible. The frequency and wavelength is just right so the radiation becomes visible, and that visible radiation goes away from the star and reaches earth It also depends on the age of the child and the comprehension level

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of unifo
fgiga [73]

The definition of gravitational potential energy would gravitate allows to find the answers for the energy of each object on the highest rung of the ladder are:

 a) expression for gravitational potential energy is  U_p = m g \ \Delta y

 b) Energy value

        * Body 1    U_p = 82 J

        * Body 2   U_p = 38.6 J

        * Body  3  18.5 J

The gravitational potential energy is a configuration energy that represents the amount of work that the system can do for a given configuration, its expression is

           U_p = m g \  \Delta y

Where U_p is the gravitational potential energy, m the mass of the body and Δy the difference in height.

In this case it indicates that the minimum height is at the bottom and is equal to zero, the steps of a ladder have a height of approximately y = 15 cm = 0.15 m

They indicate the mass of the bodies are m₁ = 3.10 kg, the mass of the body 2 m₂ = 1.46 kg , the mass of the third object is not observed, suppose it is m₃ = 0.7 kg.

They indicate that the body is placed on the last step, suppose it is a standard 18-step ladder, therefore the total height is

          y = # _ steps    y_each step

          y = 18   0.15

          y = 2.70 m

the gravitational potential energy to the capacity of the body is

body 1

              U_p = m₁ g Δy₁

              U_p = 3.10  9.8 (2.70 -0)

               U_p = 82 J

body 2

              U_p = 1.46 9.8 ( 2.7-0)

              U_p = 38.6 J

body  3

             U_pUp = 0.70 9.8 (2.7-0)

             U_p = 18.5 J

In conclusion, using the definition of gravitational potential energy, we can find the answers for the energy of each object on the highest rung of the ladder are;

     a) expression for gravitational potential energy is  U_p = m g \ \Delta y

     b) Energy value

        * Body 1    U_p = 82.0 J

        * Body 2   U_p = 38.6 J

        * Body  3   U_p = 18.5 J
