Answer:

Explanation:

Meteorites falls are those which are collected just after knowing it is falling, whereas meteorites find are found at later times.

Iron meteorites have higher percentage of find because people have found that they are useful and have great qualities. They collect such meteorites thus removing them from scientific record.

The iron meteorite consist of iron nickle alloy and is a usable iron source for humans. Iron meteorites are more resistance to weathering and can easily survive atmospheric entry hence are found in large pieces.

Because of all such features, people collect them and make their most of use, hence its find percentage is higher.

Calculate the average travel time for each distance, and then use the results to calculate.

Eddi Din [679]

The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25m is 2.23 s

The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25 m is given by:

$t=\frac{2.24 s+2.21 s+2.23 s}{3}=2.227 s \sim 2.23 s$

The average time to travel just between 0.25 m and 0.50 m is 0.90 s

First of all, we need to calculate the time the car takes in each trial to travel between 0.25 m and 0.50 m:

$t_1 = 3.16 s - 2.24 s=0.92 s\\t_2 = 3.08 s- 2.21 s=0.87 s\\t_3 =3.15 s- 2.23 s=0.92 s$

Then, the average time can be calculated as

$t=\frac{0.92 s+0.87 s+0.92 s}{3}=0.90 s$

Given the time taken to travel the second 0.25 m section, the velocity would be 0.28 m/s

The velocity of the car while travelling the second 0.25 m section is equal to the distance covered (0.25 m) divided by the average time (0.90 s):

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.25 m}{0.90 s}=0.28 m/s$

A 588 mother sits on one side of a seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot. one of her two children sits 2.00m from the pivot on the o

erastovalidia [21]

Using momentum balance:

The 588 N mother is on the other side of the seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot

F1 = 588 N
x1 = 2.20 m

Two of her children sat on the other side:

F2 = 256 N
x2 = 2.00 m

F3 = 412 N
x3 = unknown

F1x1 = F2x2 + F3x3

Solve for x3:

588 * 2.2 = 256 * 2 + 412 * x3

x3 = 1.90 meters away from pivot
