Answer:

s = 38.7 m

Explanation:

First we calculate the distance covered during uniform motion of reaction time.

s₁ = vt

where,

s₁ = distance covered during uniform motion = ?

v = uniform speed = 11 m/s

t = time = 2.3 s

Therefore,

s₁ = (11 m/s)(2.3 s)

s₁ = 25.3 m

Now, we calculate the distance covered during decelerated motion:

2as₂ = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = -4.5 m/s²

s₂ = distance covered during decelerated motion = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Velocity = 11 m/s

Therefore,

2(-4.5 m/s²)s₂ = (0 m/s)² - (11 m/s)²

s₂ = (-121 m²/s²)/(-9 m/s²)

s₂ = 13.4 m

the total distance will be:

s = s₁ + s₂

s = 25.3 m + 13.4 m

s = 38.7 m

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year at an average distance of 1.50×1011m. Find the orbital radius that corresponds to

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

$\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}$

where

$r_o$ is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

$T_o=180 d$ is the orbital period of the object

$r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m$ is the orbital radius of the Earth

$T_e=365 d$ is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for $r_o$ , we find

$r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Oooooo there's a spongy bone? that's cool! Lol okay okay, I will research it and help you out.

Here's what I found:

Cancellous bone, also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the human body. ... It is very porous and contains red bonemarrow, where blood cells are made.

A child in a boat throws a 5.80-kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The mass of the child is 24.6kg and the ma

Sergio [31]

Answer:

-0.912 m/s

Explanation:

When the package is thrown out, momentum is conserved. The total momentum after is the same as the total momentum before, which is 0, since the boat was initially at rest.

$(m_c + m_b)v_b + m_pv_p = 0$

where $m_c = 24.6 kg, m_b = 39 kg, m_p = 5.8 kg$ are the mass of the child, the boat and the package, respectively. $, v_p = 10m/s, v_b$ are the velocity of the package and the boat after throwing.
