Answer:

727.67 km

Explanation:

Sine they have Same distance D

distance = speed * time

D = 5.08t

D = 8.3312(t+55.9)

so

5.08t = 8.3312(t+55.9) t in

3.2512t = 465.71

t = 143.2s

Subtitute t

D=5.08 t

= 5.08 × 143.2

= 727.67km

kipiarov [429]
Given:
Dy= 20 m
Vi = 5.0 m/s horizontally
A=9.81 m/s^2

Find:
Horizontal displacement

Solution:
D=ViT+(1/2)AT^2
Dy=(1/2)AT^2
T^2=Dy/(1/2)A
T=sqrt(Dy/(1/2)A)
T=sqrt(20/4.905)
T=2.0s

Dx=ViT
Dx=(5.0)(2.0)
Dx=10. meters

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

5.01 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass (m) = 0.0780kg

height (h) = 5.36m

velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s

gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2

1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)

KE = 1/2mv^2

1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J

so KE = 0.91 J

2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)

PE = mgh

(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J

so PE = 4.10 J

3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE

Plug in values for KE and PE

KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: Technician A is correct

Explanation:

The intake manifold is the compactment that all fuel and air supply to the cylinders. It's connected to the engine so it has to be disconnected while the exhaust manifold receives all the exhaust gases from the cylinders and releases the gas through a single or double exhaust gases outlet.
