Answer:

Distance, s = 399.42 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of drag racer, u = 0

Final velocity of drag racer, v = 407 km/hr = 113.056 m/s

Acceleration, a=16\ m/s^2

Third equation of motion is :

v^2-u^2=2as

s is the distance traveled

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{(113.056)^2}{2\times 16}

s = 399.42 m/s

So, the distance traveled during this acceleration is 399.42 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of (16.6 m/s)x^. ignoring air resistance, the average acceleration of
Andrei [34K]

Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

The diagram below shows the heating of an unknown substance (it is not water). Its melting point is? The diagram below shows the
Anettt [7]

Answer:

the answer is B

Melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.

Only about 50% of the solar energy directed toward Earth penetrates directly to the surface. Explain what happens to the rest of
Tresset [83]

Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant
