A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

$t=\frac{d}{s}$

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

$d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s$

$t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}$

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

$t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}$

$t=3.6 \ s$

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.46 m high. (a) Calculate its vertical speed (in m/s) when it leaves the ground.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) 6.95 m/s

b) 1.42 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s$

a) The vertical speed when it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6.95}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s$

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.46=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.46\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s$

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds

. A student thinks that the more protons an atom has, the more reactive it will be. Which will best disprove this student's idea

shepuryov [24]

The best answer to the question that is being stated above would be the first choice. To disprove the claims of the student that you need more protons to have more reactivity, then you proceed to compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and krypton (Kr). Krypton has more protons than Lithium, but it is less reactive because it is a noble gas.

A train travels 77 kilometers in 1 hour, and the 66 kilometers in 1 hour. What is the average speed?

Kipish [7]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (77km + 66km) = 143 kilometers

Time to cover the distance = 2 hours

Average speed = (143 km) / (2 hours) = 71.5 km per hour
