Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

A 99.1-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =
Stels [109]

Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

\mu = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

Can a body have constant speed and still be acclerating ? Give an Example
Allushta [10]






Hi Pupil Here's Your answer :::





➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡





An object moving with constant speed can be accelerated if direction of motion changes. For example, an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path has an acceleration because its direction of motion changes continuously.

A 0.14 -kg baseball is moving at 41 m/s. A 0.058-kg tennis ball is moving at 67 m/s. Which of the two balls has higher kinetic e
Iteru [2.4K]
Since kinetic energy is a form of energy using the equation KE=¹/₂mv², the units of measurement is in Joules (J). Therefore, the tennis ball had more kinetic energy than the baseball since velocity is a larger factor than the mass is when determining kinetic energy.

What's the value of 1,152 Btu in joules? A. 1,964,445 J B. 2,485,664 J C. 987,875 J D. 1,215,360 J
OLga [1]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given,  1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.
