What are the three components of the equation for the second law of motion?

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

$\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm$

And the change in time:

$\Delta t= 3 s$

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

$speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s$

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction

vladimir1956 [14]

Complete question:

A light bulb emits light that travels uniformly in all directions. Detailed measurements show that at a distance of 56 m from the bulb, the amplitude of the electric field is 3.78 V/m. What is the average intensity of the light?

Answer:

The average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²

Explanation:

Given;

Amplitude of the electric field, E₀ = 3.78 V/m

The average intensity of the light is calculated as follows;

$I_{avg} = \frac{c\epsilon_0 E_0^2}{2}$

where;

$I_{avg}$ is the average intensity of the light

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

$I_{avg} = \frac{(3\times 10^8)(8.85 \times 10^{-12}) (3.78)^2}{2} \\\\I_{avg} = 0.01897 \ W/m^2\\\\I_{avg} = 0.02 \ W/m^2$

Therefore, the average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²

A 18-g paper clip is attached to the rim of a phonograph record with a diameter of 48 cm, spinning at 3.2 rad/s. What is the mag

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of its angular momentum = 0.0017 kgm²/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum, L = Iω

I is mass moment of inertia and ω is angular velocity.

Phonograph is in disc shape,

$\texttt{I for disc =}\frac{MR^2}{2}$

Radius = 0.5 x 48 = 24 cm = 0.24 m

Angular velocity, ω = 3.2 rad/s

Mass, M = 18 g = 0.018 kg

Substituting

$L=\frac{0.018\times 0.24^2}{2}\times 3.2 =0.0017kgm^2/s$

Magnitude of its angular momentum = 0.0017 kgm²/s

Explain what would happen to an animal if the vegetation around them disappeared

lara [203]

Answer:

he type of vegetation growing in the buffer affects its usefulness to wildlife through the availability of food, foraging and nesting sites, and other habitat needs (Johnson and Beck 1988). The more diverse the habitat, the greater its utility to many species of animals.
