The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
v= \frac{d}{t}         ⇒ d=v*t

It is given:
v =  \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s}  = 3.2 m/s
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m

A car (mass = 1090 kg) is traveling at 30.4 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2880 kg) traveling
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The sport utility vehicle was traveling at V2= 11.5 m/s.

Explanation:

m1= 1090 kg

V1= 30.4 m/s

m2= 2880 kg

V2= ?

m1*V1 = m2*V2

V2= (m1*V1)/m2

V2= 11.5 m/s

Write an email to a classmate explaining why the velocity of the current in a river has no FN C02-F20-OP11USB effect on the time
anzhelika [568]

The velocity of the current in a river has no effect on the the time it takes to paddle a canoe across the river, given that the boat is pointed perpendicular to the bank of the river, because

The velocity of the river does not change the velocity and therefore the distance traveled in the direction of the boat which is directed perpendicular to it

Reason:

Let \overset \rightarrow {v_y} represent the velocity of the boat across the river in the direction, \overset \rightarrow {d_y}, and let, \overset \rightarrow {v_x}, represent the velocity of the river, we have;

The velocity of the boat perpendicular to the direction of the river = \overset \rightarrow {v_y}

Therefore, the distance covered per unit time in the perpendicular direction

to the flow of the river is \overset \rightarrow {v_y}, such that the time it takes to cross the river in

the perpendicular direction is the same, for every value of the velocity of

the river.

This is so because the velocity in the perpendicular direction to the flow of

the river, which is the velocity of the boat is unchanged by the velocity of

the river, because there is no perpendicular component of velocity in the

velocity of the river.

\overset \rightarrow {v_y} = 3 m/s

\overset \rightarrow {v_x} = 4 m/s

The width of the river, w_y = 6 meters, we have;

  • The resultant velocity = \sqrt{(3 \ m/s)^2 + (4 \ m/s)^2} =5 \ m/s

The direction, θ, is given as follows;

\theta = \arctan \left(\dfrac{4}{3} \right) \approx 53.13^{\circ}

The length of the path of the boat, <em>l</em>, is given as follows;

l = \dfrac{6}{cos \left(\arctan \left(\dfrac{4}{3} \right)\right)} = 10

The length of the path the boat takes = 10 m

The time it takes to cross the river, t = \dfrac{l}{v}, therefore;

  • t = \dfrac{10}{5} = 2
  • The time it takes to cross the river, t = 2 seconds

Considering only the y-components, we have;

t = \dfrac{w_y}{v_y}

Therefore;

t = \dfrac{6 \ m}{3 \ m/s} = 2 \, s

Which expresses that the time taken is the same and given that the

vectors of the velocities of the river and the boat are perpendicular, the

distance covered in the direction of the boat is unaffected by the velocity

of the river.

The model of the atom has changed as scientists have gathered new evidence. Four models of the atom are shown below, but one imp
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: Dalton’s model

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see four atomic models labeled with four letters:

W represents the current and accepeted atomic model: a nucleus with an electron cloud, where the orbit and position of the electrons around the nucleus is defined by specific regions (associated with specific energy levels) where there is a greater probability of finding the electron at any given moment. It is important to note this model was improved by the works in quantum physics done by Louis de Broglie and Erwin Schrodinger.

X represents Rutherford's model (This model was proposed after Thomson's model). Ernest Rutherford conducted a series of experiments in order to corroborate Thomson's atomic model. However the results of the experiment led him to find out there is a concentration of charge in the atom's core (which was later called nucleus) surrounded by electrons.  This lead to a new atomic model, in which the atom has a positive charged nucleus surrounded by negative charged particles that move similar to the orbit of the planet around the Sun.

Y represents Thomson's model, also called  the <em>plum pudding</em> model. This scientific found out that atoms contain small subatomic particles with a negative charge (later called electrons). However, taking into consideration that at that time there was still no evidence of the atom nucleus, Thomson thought the electrons were immersed in the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons. Just like the raisins embedded in a pudding or bread.

Z represents Bohr's model. This model was proposed by the danish physicist Niels Bohr after Rutherford's model. In fact, this model was Rutherford's model with the following addition: electrons orbit the nucleus (like planets around the sun) in specific orbits at different energy levels around the nucleus.

So, the only missing model is <u>Dalton's model</u>, which was the first atomic model:  the atom represented as a solid, indestructible and indivisible mass. An idea that was already accepted by that time since the ancient Greeks.
