Answer:

B. 10m/s

Explanation:

If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.

Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

d² = 8²+6²

d² = 64+36

d² = 100

Square root both sides

√d² = √100

d = 10m/s

Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s

Option B is correct

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 7700 rpm. when the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in
Tpy6a [65]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

For this fan, speed at the end = 7700 rpm, speed at the end = 0 .

Change in angular speed = -7700 rpm

Angular acceleration = (-7700 rpm) / (2.5 sec)

<em>Angular acceleration = -3,080 rev per minute / sec</em>

That's a perfectly good and true answer to the question, but the units are ugly.  We really need to fix the units, and convert them into something prettier before we hand in this assignment.

1 rev = 2π radians, and

1 minute = 60 seconds .

So

Angular acceleration =

(-3,080 rev/min-sec) · (2π rad/rev) · (1 min/60 sec)

AngAccel = (-3,080 · 2π · 1 / 60) · (rev·rad·min / min·sec·rev·sec)

AngAccel = ( -102 and 2/3 · π) · (rad/s²)

<em>AngAccel = -322.5 radian/s²</em>

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

Two ice skaters, Lilly and John, face each other while at rest, and then push against each other's hands. The mass of John is tw
seropon [69]

Answer:

Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.

Explanation:

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

The force they apply on each other will be equal

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_l=\frac{F}{m_l}

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{F}{2m_l}\\\Rightarrow a_j=\frac{1}{2}a_l

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_l=a_lt

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v_l=0+\frac{F}{2m_l}\times t\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}a_lt\\\Rightarrow v_j=\frac{1}{2}v_l\\\Rightarrow v_l=2v_j

Hence, Lilly's speed is two times John's speed.
