A meteorologist tracks the movement of a thunderstorm with Doppler radar. At 8:00pm the storm was 55 mi northeast of her station

. At 11:00 pm the storm is at 75 mi north. What's the direction of the average velocity of the storm? And the magnitude of the average velocity of the storm?

At 8:00 pm, the velocity of the storm is 55 mi northeast. Assuming that the direction is exactly northeast, the angle is 45°
At 11:00 pm, the velocity is 75 mi north. The angle is 90°
In vector form
55 ∠ 45°
and
75 ∠ 90°
The magnitude and direction of the average velocity is
(55 ∠ 45° + 75 ∠ 90° ) / 3

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, $\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

$1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Velocity, $v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

$v=r\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

$\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}$

$\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is $6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Describe J.J Thomson's plum pudding model,and explain how it compares to the modern day atomic theory.

juin [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The J.J Thomson's plum pudding model establishes that when he researched the atom, he found that electrons are positively charged. Because he observed that electrons were embedded like plums. Electrons are negative. However, compared to the modern-day atomic theory, scientist Ernest Rutherford established that the space between an atom is empty, the nucleus of the atom is positive, and negative electrons have fixed motion paths.

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s$

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.

You are standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo; there is negligible friction between

Anni [7]

Answer:

0.074m/s

Explanation:

We need the formula for conservation of momentum in a collision, this equation is given by,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Where,

$m_1$ = mass of ball

$m_2$ = mass of the person

$u_1$ = Velocity of ball before collision

$u_2$ = Velocity of the person before collision

$v_1$ = velocity of ball afer collision

$v_2$ = velocity of the person after collision

We know that after the collision, as the person as the ball have both the same velocity, then,

$v_1 = v_2$

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_2$

Re-arrenge to find $v_2$ ,

$v_2 = \frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Our values are,

$m_1$ = 0.425kg

$u_1$ = 12m/s

$m_2$ = 68.5kg

$u_2$ = 0m/s

Substituting,

$v_2 = \frac{(0.425)(12)+(68.5)(0)}{0.425+68.5}$

$v_2 = 0.074m/s$

<em />

<em>The speed of the person would be 0.074m/s after the collision between him/her and the ball</em>
