As a prank, your friends have kidnapped you in your sleep, and transported you out onto the ice covering a local pond. When you

wake up you are 32.5 m from the nearest shore. The ice is so slippery (i.e. frictionless) that you cannot seem to get yourself moving. You realize that you can use Newton's third law to your advantage, and choose to throw the heaviest thing you have, one boot, in order to get yourself moving. Take your weight to be 547 N. 1)(a) What direction should you throw your boot so that you will most quickly reach the shore?

Answer:

a = 52s²

Explanation:

<u>How to find acceleration</u>

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.

<u>Solve</u>

We know initial velocity (u = 16), velocity (v = 120) and acceleration (a = ?)

We first need to solve the velocity equation for time (t):

v = u + at

v - u = at

(v - u)/a = t

Plugging in the known values we get,

t = (v - u)/a

t = (16 m/s - 120 m/s) -2/s2

t = -104 m/s / -2 m/s2

t = 52 s

The energy your body gets from food is originally provided by which nuclear
Naily [24]

Answer:

Nuclear Fusion

Explanation:

The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V
