Answer:

2.2386 m/s

Explanation:

I think you would use the momentum equation.

m1v1=m2v2

m1= mass of the bag (8.5kg)

v1= speed of bag (6.9 m/s)

m2= mass of bag and cart (26.2 kg)

v2= speed of cart and bag

Plug these numbers all into the equation and you solve for v2 which ends up at 2.2386 m/s

We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>

How does gravity affect the velocity of falling objects?
sladkih [1.3K]

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls

On a spinning ride at the fair, it is inertia that keeps you moving in a circle. true or false​
lions [1.4K]

False, the inertia does not keep us moving in a circle on a spinning ride at the fair.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Inertia is the resisting force of any object which resists in change in their state. If an object is moving the inertia will act in opposing direction to the force acting on the object stopping its motion.

Similarly, if an object resembles at rest, then the inertia will be acting against the force tending to move that stationary object. So, on a spinning ride at fair, when a person sits there, the inertia acting on the person will prevent the person to falling down from the fair and not in moving in a circle.
