Answer:

The acceleration of the car at the instant when t=3s is found by taking the gradient of the tangent at the point t=3.

The tangent are those dotted lines sloping upwards in the graph.

Tangent: A straight line that touches the curve and does not intersect it.

The reason why they wrote instantaneous is because the acceleration (or gradient of graph) is not constant throughout hence it is just at the moment when t=3s.

Gradient is used to find the acceleration of a speed time graph.

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
Colt1911 [192]

The potential energy of the lemming is 1.53 J

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass of the lemming

We want to find the potential energy when the height is

h = 2.00 m

Therefore, we find:

PE=(0.0780)(9.8)(2.00)=1.53 J

The bird that migrates the farthest is the Arctic tern. Each year, the Arctic tern travels
Tanzania [10]

Answer: 131.14km per day

Explanation: since the second half of the terns migration takes 122 days we can assume that the full migration would take 244 days. using this we can divide the total distance by the total amount of days it takes (because speed = distance/time) which is 32,000/244, which would be 131.14

Sort the items based on whether they are simple machines or compound machines.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.
