Answer:

I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853
Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position.

So we have

\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)

\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

if a stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 50m/s, what is the vertical comp
Vilka [71]

Answer:

38.3 m/s

Explanation:

To find vertical component of initial velocity, you'd have to use sine ratio:

\displaystyle{\sin \theta = \dfrac{u_y}{u}}

\displaystyle{u_y} is vertical component of initial velocity and \displaystyle{u} is initial velocity given which is 50 m/s.

A stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees so \displaystyle{\theta} = 50°. Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle{\sin 50^{\circ} = \dfrac{u_y}{50}}\\\\\displaystyle{50 \sin 50^{\circ} = u_y}\\\\\displaystyle{u_y = 38.3 \ \, \sf{m/s}}

Therefore, the vertical component of initial velocity is approximately 38.3 m/s

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.  She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h

Hence, this is the required solution.

You have a 16-kg suitcase. what work did you do when you have slowly lifted it 0.80 m upward?
Anna71 [15]
The formula is:
Work = Force · Displacement
F = m · g
F = 16 kg · 9.8 m/s²  = 156.8 N
and we know that:
d = 0.8 m
W = 156.8 N · 0.8 m = 125.44 J
Answer:
W = 125.44 J.
