Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

A rock is thrown with a force of 500 N and an acceleration is 75 m/s^2. What is its mass?

artcher [175]

Answer:

We conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 500 N

Acceleration a = 75 m/s²

To determine

Mass m = ?

Important Tip:

The mass of a rock can be found using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

$F = ma$

where

F is the force (N)

m is the mass (kg)

a is the acceleration (m/s²)

now substituting F = 500, and a = 75 m/s² in the formula

$F = ma$

$500 = m(75)$

switch sides

$m\left(75\right)=500$

Divide both sides by 75

$\frac{m\cdot \:75}{75}=\frac{500}{75}$

simplify

$m=\frac{20}{3}$

$m=6.7$ kg

Therefore, we conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

What is the source of all electromagnetic waves?

kherson [118]

Answer:

Accelerating charges.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the vibration of both electrical and magnetic fields.

This interaction produces an energy source that does not require any medium to propagate.

To produce electromagnetic waves, electric and magnetic fields must be vibrating.

An electric charge produced when vibrating under voltage will produce electromagnetic waves. This is the same for all sources of these waves.

The sun produces electromagnetic waves. A lot of human activities also does this.

a 1500.0 kg car is at rest on a level track. The driver gives the engine gas and the car begins to accelerate forward. The car m

padilas [110]

Acceleration of the car is 3.375 m/s² and the force of the car moving forward is 5062.5 N

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
It is given by the equation, a = change in velocity/time

Here, velocity changes from 0 to 27 m/s and time = 8

⇒ Acceleration = 27 - 0/8 = 27/8 = 3.375 m/s²

Force is calculated by the equation, F = Mass × Acceleration
This is based on Newton's second law of motion.

Here, mass of the car = 1500 kg and a = 3.375 m/s²

⇒ Force = 1500 × 3.375 = 5062.5 N
