Answer:

<em>The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

The cyclist initially travels at 10 /s and it's accelerating at a=6m/s^2. We need to know the new speed when t= 20 seconds have passed.

Apply the above equation:

$v_f=10+6\cdot 20$

$v_f=10+120$

$v_f=130\ m/s$

The cyclist is traveling at 130 m/s

A ball having a weight of 1.5 N is dropped from a height of 4 meters. (Neglect air friction.) How much mechanical energy is "los

NikAS [45]

As this mechanical energy is associated with height, it would be "Potential Energy" in particular.

U = mgh
U = F.h
U = 1.5 * 4
U = 6 Joules

So, 6 J of energy is lost before it hits the ground.

Hope this helps!

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 35.0 m/s and has a speed of 33.0 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h

nadezda [96]

Answer:

H = 6.93 m

Explanation:

given data

velocity v = 35 m/s

horizontal component Vx = 33 m/s

solution

we get here maximum height so first we get vertical component here that is express as

Vy = $\sqrt{v^2- Vx^2}$ .........................1

put here value

Vy = $\sqrt{35^2- 33^2}$

Vy = 11.66 m/s

and

now we get height

H = $\frac{Vy^2}{2g}$ .............................2

put here value

H = $\frac{11.66^2}{2\times 9.8}$

H = 6.93 m

How are volcanoes distributed

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.
