For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

The answer is B. build up of plant materials. This is because those rocks that are composed of materials, which are organic matters from decaying plants, formed by biological activity are called biogenic or organic or non-clastic rocks. On the other hand, clastic rocks are made up of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.

How would you define a disturbance in matter, such as water?
motikmotik

Answer:wave travel

Explanation:Because gravity pulls the water in the crest downward .Forced out from beneath the falling crests ,the falling water pushes former troughs upwards and the wave moves to a new position causing a disturbance.

As part of an exercise program, a woman walks south at a speed of 2.00 m/s for 60.0 minutes. She then turns around and walks nor
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Option A

Solution:

As per the question:

The distance covered by the woman in the North direction, d = 3000 m

Time taken to travel in North direction, t = 25.0 min = 1500 s

Velocity of woman in the south direction, v = 2.00 m/s

Time taken in the south direction, t' = 60.0 min = 3600 s

Now,

The distance covered in the south direction, d' = vt' = 2.00\times 3600 = 7200\ m

Now, the total displacement is given by:

D = d' - d = 7200 - 3000 = 4200 m in South

(a) Average velocity of the woman in the whole journey is given by:

v_{avg} = \frac{Total\ displacement}{Total\ time} = \frac{4200}{t + t'}

v_{avg} = \frac{4200}{1500 + 3600} = 0.8235\ m/s ≈ 0.824 m/s South
