The answer is 789.25 which you’d subtract 2011.25-122.2 I think sry if I’m wrong

Answer:

a) $16.45 \frac{m}{s}$ b) $36.94 \frac{mi}{h}$

Explanation:

The average speed is given by the formula: $\frac{distance}{time}$

The distance covered is 2011.25m , and the time is 122.2s.

Replacing in the formula: $speed_{avg} = \frac{2011.25 m}{122.2s}$

Resulting in a) $speed_{avg} = 16.45 \frac{m}{s}$ .

To get the result in mi/h, do the following conversion:

<em>Knowing : 1 mi = 1603 m and 1 h = 3600 seg </em>

<em> $16.45\frac{ m}{s}*(\frac{1mi}{1603m } ) *(\frac{3600s}{1h} ) = 36.94\frac{mi}{h}$ </em>

You are standing outside during the daytime. How can you see a blade of grass?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C: Light travels from the Sun to the grass and is then reflected to your eyes.

Explanation:

Our eyes don't produce light but detect light (so answer A is not correct)

The grass doesn't produce light unless it is burning (discard answer B)

Answer C is the correct one.

The light we detect from the grass is not light bounced off the sky, it comes directly from the grass to your eyes (you are not looking at the sky when you see the grass) Discard answer D

Two velcro-covered pucks slide across the ice, collide and stick to one another. Their interaction with the ice is frictionless.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

<em>1. False</em>

<em>2. True</em>

<em>3. False</em>

<em>4. True</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum</u>

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system formed by both pucks won't change regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

The momentum of an object of mass ma moving at speed va is

$p_a=m_a.v_a$

The total momentum of both pucks at the initial condition is

$p_1=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b$

Both pucks are moving to the right and puck B has twice the mass of puck A (let's call it m), thus

$m_a=m$

$m_b=2m$

We are given

$v_a=6\ m/s\\v_b=2\ m/s$

The total initial momentum is

$p_1=6m+2(2m)=10m$

At the final condition, both pucks stick together, thus the total mass is 3m and the final speed is common, thus

$p_2=3m.v'$

Equating the initial and final momentum

$10m=3m.v'$

Solving for v'

$v'=10/3\ m/s=3.33\ m/s$

1. Compute the initial kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_b^2$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 6^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 2^2$

$K_1=18m+4m=22m$

The final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv'^2$

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3.33^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 3.33^2$

$K_2=16.63m$

As seen, part of the kinetic energy is lost in the collision, thus the statement is False

2. The initial speed of puck B was 2 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it increased the speed: True

3. The initial speed of puck A was 6 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it decreased the speed: False

4. The momentum is conserved since that was the initial assumption to make all the calculations. True

$p_1=10m$

$p_2=3m.v'=3m(10/3)=10m$

The wheels of a car have radius 12 in. and are rotating at 600 rpm. Find the speed of the car in mi/h.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

21.4 mph

Explanation:

Circumference of tire in FEET = pi * d = pi * 1 ft = pi feet

pi feet x 600 rot/min * 60 min /hr * 1 mile / 5280 feet = 21.4 mph

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and velocity? Inverse, horizontal, linear or quadratic? I NEED MAJOR HE

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Wavelength is the measure of the length of a complete wave cycle. The velocity of a wave is the distance traveled by a point on the wave. In general, for any wave the relation between Velocity and Wavelength is proportionate. It is expressed through the wave velocity formula.

Explanation: For any given wave, the product of wavelength and frequency gives the velocity. It is mathematically given by wave velocity formula written as-

V=f×λ

Where,

V is the velocity of the wave measure using m/s.

f is the frequency of the wave measured using Hz.

λ is the wavelength of the wave measured using m. Velocity and Wavelength Relation

Amplitude, Frequency, wavelength, and velocity are the characteristic of a wave. For a constant frequency, the wavelength is directly proportional to velocity.

Given by:

V∝λ

Example:

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is doubled. The velocity of the wave will also double.

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is made four times. The velocity of the wave will also be increased by four times.

Hope you understood the relation between wavelength and velocity of a wave. I truely hope this helps you out tho! Goodluck!
