Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}$

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

Nady [450]

Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2$

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f

olga2289 [7]

The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

1 / (5 per second) = 0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period. But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

= (5 per second) x (1cm) = 5 cm per second

Consider the displacement vectors Ā=(i +6j)m, B = (3i– 7j)m,

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Dx = -0.5

Dy = -0.25

Explanation:

Two vectors are given in rectangular components form as follows:

A = i + 6j

B = 3i - 7j

It is also given that:

A - B - 4D = 0

so, we solve this to find D vector:

(i + 6j) - (3i - 7j) - 4D = 0

- 2i - j = 4D

D = - (2/4)i - (1/4)j

D = - (1/2)i - (1/4)j

D = - 0.5i - 0.25j

Therefore,

Dx = -0.5

Dy = -0.25

Needddd helppppppp!!!

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

2/9 times as strong.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following assumptions were made:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

Next, we shall obtain an expression to determine the new force. This can be obtained as follow:

F = GMm / r²

Cross multiply

Fr² = GMm

Divide both side by Mn

G = Fr² / Mm

Since G is constant, then we have

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Finally, we shall determine the new force as follow:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × (3r)² / 2M × m

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × 9r² / 2Mm

Cross multiply

Fr² × 2Mm = F₂ × 9r² × Mm

Divide both side by 9r² × Mm

F₂ = Fr² × 2Mm / 9r² × Mm

F₂ = F × 2 / 9

F₂ = 2/9 F

Thus, the new force is 2/9 times the original force i.e 2/9 times as strong.
