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.

4) A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Suppose, the distance between 40 yard line and 25 yard line is 20 yard.

(a). We need to calculate their speed during that run

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where. d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{18.288}{2}$

$v=10\ m/s$ during that run

(b). We need to calculate their velocity

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{22.86-36.58}{2}$

$v=-6.86\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion.

(c). If they kept running at that velocity for another 1.3 seconds,

We need to calculate the final position

Using formula of position

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=6.86\times1.3$

$d=8.91\ m$

Hence, (a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

HOW FAR DOES A UNICYCLE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 20 M/S FOR 15 SECONDS?

astra-53 [7]

Given:-

Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
Time taken = 15 s

To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

s = Distance travelled,
v = Speed &
t = Time taken.

Therefore,

s = (20 m/s)(15 s)

→ s = (20 m)(15)

→ s = 300 m (Ans.)

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2440J/kg °C. How many joules of energy will be required to heat 150g ethanol to 35°C if

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Required energy = 4758 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).

Given data :

Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 35°C

Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

Energy = E = ?

Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

E = m × c × ΔT

E = 0.15 × 2440 × 13

E = 4758 J

A 2-kg object is moving horizontally across a frictionless surface with a speed of 4 m/s. How much force is required to keep the

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

none

Explanation:

Newton's first law says an object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by some force.

No force is necessary for the object to keep its speed and direction on a frictionless surface.
