The energy associated with an object's motion is called kinetic energy. ... This is also called thermal energy – the greater the thermal energy, the greater the kinetic energy of atomic motion, and vice versa.

The northern hemisphere is experiencing winter because it is tilted away from the sun whereas the south experiences summer because it is tilted towards the sun
-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² . That means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.
-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.
-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>
Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .
-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²
D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em> 78.4 meters</em>
-- At 32 floors per 100 meters, 78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.
The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.
Answer:
Time, t = 12 minutes
Explanation:
It is given that,
A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east. Let west direction is negative and east direction is positive. The displacement of the cyclist is :
d = 4800 m
Let us assumed that the average speed of the cyclist is, v = 24 km/h = 6.66667 m/s
Let t is the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip. The velocity of an object is given by :
t = 719.99 seconds
t = 720 seconds
or
t = 12 minutes
So, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is 12 minutes. Yes, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is reasonable. Hence, this is the required solution.
