We would lose tides. We'd still have some from the moon but it'd be a few week thing instead of everyday.

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is

Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is $-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s$

2) The instantaneous velocity is $64t-260t^3$

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is given by

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

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

$x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4$

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

$x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m$

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

$x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m$

So, the displacement is

$d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m$

And therefore the average velocity is

$v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s$

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

$x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4$

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

$v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3$

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.

a baseball is pitched with a speed of 35.0m/s. how long does it take the ball to travel 18.4 m from the pitchers mound to home p

Vlad [161]

Given the speed and the distance, to find time you can use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. From there you can manipulate the equation for time to equal the distance divided by speed. Time is equal to 18.4 meters divided by 35m/s which equals 0.526 seconds.

Perform the following calculations and give your answer with the correct number of significant figures

love history [14]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

a. 0.1886 x 12 =2.2632

This has 2 sig figures so the answer can only have 2 sig figures

2.3

b. 2.995 - 0.16685 =2.82815

The most accurate in the problem is to thousands place so our answer can only be accurate to the thousands place

2.828

c. 910 x 0.18945=172.3995

The least number of significant figures is 3 so the answer can only have 3 significant figures

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature

shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks. Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

   (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

   (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to (235/110) of where it started.

   (400 kPa) x (235/110) = 854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.

A 235 kg motorcycle moves with a velocity of 7 m/s. What's it's kenetic energy?

antiseptic1488 [7]

The non-relativistic formula for low speed v < 0.1c is:

K.E = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5 * 235 * (7)^2 = 5757.5 J
