Answer:

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Explanation:

First of all, we find the total time taken:

For that, we use the formula : Distance/Speed= Time

Time for part 1 : 200/5=40 seconds

Time for part 2 : 280/4=70seconds

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Average Speed= 480/110=4.36 m/s

Total displacement=200-280=-80m (Since this is displacement, we need to find the distance between the initial and final point. Also, I've taken east direction as positive and west as negative)

Average Velocity=-80/110=-0.72 m/s

OR 0.72m/s towards west.

mario62 [17]

Velocity of vw bug is given as

v_1 = 54 mpH towards north

velocity of imphala is given as

v_2 = 47 mph towards south

now we need to find velocity of imphala relative to bug

v_{21} = v_2 - v_1

v_{21} = 47 - (-54) = 101 mpH

so the speed is 101 mpH towards south so correct option is C

Calculate the force of gravity between a 2.50 kg newborn baby and a 80.0 kg doctor standing 0.250 m away. G = 6.67 E -11 N*m2/kg
Alex787 [66]

Answer: 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass.

Force of gravity is given by:

F =G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

It is given that, mass of newborn baby is M = 2.50 kg

Mass of the doctor, m = 80.0 kg

Distance between the two, r = 0.250 m

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

⇒F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² × 2.50 kg × 80.0 kg )÷ (0.250 m)² = 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N

Thus, the force of gravity between new born baby and doctor is 2.13 × 10⁻⁷ N.

1) Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.
Anton [14]

Answer:

The order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

Arrange the following spectral regions in order of increasing energy: infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, visible.

From the formula of energy in terms of frequency.

  E = hf

Where h = planck constant, f = frequency of light.

From above formula we can conclude that higher frequency means higher energy.

In our case ultraviolet has higher frequency and microwave has lower frequency.

So ultraviolet has higher energy and microwave has lower energy.

microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet

Therefore, the order of increasing energy is as follows

"microwave < infrared < visible < ultraviolet"

Which of the following are characteristics of noble gases?

{ \bf{ \underbrace{Answer :}}}

\sf\red{B. \:They're\: inert.} ✅

  • An inert gas is one that does not undergo chemical reactions. The noble gases have complete outer shells, so they have no tendency to lose, gain, or share electrons. This is why they are said to be inert.

\sf\purple{D.\: They \:don't \:react\: with\: other\: elements.}✅

  • Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. This is because they already have the desired eight total 's' and 'p' electrons in their outermost (highest) energy level.

Which is an example of a covalent bond? There are fewer than 16 valence electrons in 2 chlorine atoms, but they form a stable bo
Goryan [66]
Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding wherein there is a sharing of electrons to achieve chemical stability or the octet rule. For instance, the chlorine atom with one unpaired electron shares an electron to sodium to become stable. In the given examples, the situation that portrays covalent bonding is when Chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond.
