How would you find the speed of a person who walked

Physics
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Distance covered by a person is 10 meters

Time taken by him to cover that distance is 8 seconds.

If we want to find the speed of a person, we must know distance covered by it and taken. In this case, we know both distance and time. His speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10\ m}{8\ s}\\\\v=1.25\ m/s

So, the speed of the person is 1.25 m/s.

Choose the correct statement regarding energy production in the interior of a star and energy production in a power plant. A sta
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.

Explain in detail what specific factors affect the momentum of a bicycle going down hill.
Crazy boy [7]

Mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum of a bicycle going hill down.

Explanation:

As we know that Momentum describes the motion of an object. It is the combination of the objects mass and velocity.

So, obviously with no doubt mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum.

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

The momentum also depends upon the mass and speed of the object.

More the mass of the object more is the momentum.

Depending upon the gravity and bicycle's motion speed momentum varies.

Bicycle moves faster the down hill if it moves with some speed as it has lesser mass the momentum also will be less.

Define nortons theorem​
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<em><u>In direct-current circuit theory, Norton's theorem is a simplification that can be applied to networks made of linear time-invariant resistances, voltage sources, and current sources. At a pair of terminals of the network, it can be replaced by a current source and a single resistor in parallel.</u></em>

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a cliff that is 24 m high. From ground level, a second ball is thrown straight upwar
sesenic [268]

Answer:

6.0 m below the top of the cliff

Explanation:

We can find the velocity at which the ball dropped from the cliff reaches the ground by using the SUVAT equation

v^2-u^2 = 2gd

where

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity, we assume downward as positive direction)

h = 24 m is the distance covered

Solving for h,

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(24)}=21.7 m/s

So the ball thrown upward is launched with this initial velocity:

u = 21.7 m/s

From now on, we take instead upward as positive direction.

The vertical position of the ball dropped from the cliff at time t is

y_1 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

While the vertical position of the ball thrown upward is

y_2 = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

The two balls meet when

y_1 = y_2\\h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\h = ut \rightarrow t = \frac{h}{u}=\frac{24}{21.7}=1.11 s

So the two balls meet after 1.11 s, when the position of the ball dropped from the cliff is

y_1 = h -\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = 24-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.11)^2=18.0 m

So the distance below the top of the cliff is

d=24.0 - 18.0 = 6.0 m
