Answer:

Speed greater than 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?

The distance = 12 m

Time = 3s

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 12/3

Speed = 4 m/s

Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875
Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

Ill mark as brainliest.
rewona [7]

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts

Every year _______ species go extinct.<br> a. 3<br> b. 72<br> c. 1000<br> d. 20000
Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>

navik [9.2K]
Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C

Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)

we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject

c =\frac{E}{m\theta}

c =\frac{15}{2.01}
c =7.46268657
