Answer:

d = 23.75 m

The zebra has gone 23.75m after 5 seconds.

Corrected question;

A zebra starts from rest and accelerates at 1.9 m/s2. How far has the zebra gone after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

From the equation of motion;

d = vt + 0.5at^2 .........1

Where;

d = displacement

v = initial velocity = 0

t = time taken= 5 seconds

a = acceleration = 1.9 m/s^2

Substituting the given values into equation 1;

d = 0(5) + 0.5(1.9×5^2)

d = 0.5(1.9×5^2)

d = 23.75 m

The zebra has gone 23.75m after 5 seconds.

Which planet shows evidence of water erosion?

Kipish [7]

<span>The planet which shows evidence of water erosion is Mars. Scientists discovered that Mars is the only other planet which has evidences of water existance as Mars' atmosphere contains trace amounts of water vapor, and it surprisingly turned out that it also has polar ice caps which are filled with frozen H2O. And, as you may have heart, Mars has shown many evidences of past river valleys and lakes.</span>

A disc of mass m slides with negligible friction along a flat surface with a velocity v. The disc strikes a wall head-on and bou

qwelly [4]

Answer:

-v/2

Explanation:

Given that:

a disc of mass m

Collides with the wall going through a sliding motion on on the plane smooth surface.

Upon rebounding from the wall its kinetic energy becomes one-fourth of the initial kinetic energy before collision.

<u>We know, kinetic energy is given as:</u>

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}. m.v^2$

consider this to be the initial kinetic energy of the body.

<u>Now after collision:</u>

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4}\times KE_i$

$KE_f=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}\times m.v^2$

Considering that the mass of the body remains constant before and after collision.

$KE_f=\frac{1}{2}\times m.(\frac{v}{2})^2$

Therefore the velocity of the body after collision will become half of the initial velocity but its direction is also reversed which can be denoted by a negative sign.

You drive a car 1500 ft to the east, then 2500 ft to the north. if the trip took 3.0 minutes, what were the direction and magnit

Lelu [443]

The velocity of the car was 4.93m/s and the direction was northeast.

<h3>Calculation</h3>

It is given,

time of the trip = t = 3 minutes = 180 seconds

1st distance A = 1500ft = 457.2m east

2nd distance B = 2500ft = 762m north

We are asked to find the average velocity.

First, we get the resultant distance magnitude by applying Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse.
