Answer:

3859 grams

Explanation:

Given: Weight of a television = 8.50 pounds

To find: Weight of a television in grams

Solution:

1 pound = 0.454 kg and 1 kg = 1000 g

So,

1 pound = 0.454 × 1000 = 454 grams

8.50 pounds = 8.50 × 454 = 3859 grams

Therefore,

Weight of television in grams = 3859 grams

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 31 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration? (Remem

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.

The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:

A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.

In this case, we have:

initial velocity = 31 m/s

final velocity = 15 m/s

time = 8 seconds.

Then the average acceleration is:

A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2

A ball of mass 0.150 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.665 m. W

Liula [17]

Answer:

Impulse is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction

Explanation:

Taking upward motion as positive and downward motion as negative.

Downward motion:

Given:

Mass of ball (m) = 0.150 kg

Displacement of ball (S) = -1.25 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

$v_d^2=u^2+2aS\\\\v=\pm\sqrt{u^2+2aS}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{0+2\times -9.8\times -1.25}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{24.5}=\pm4.95\ m/s$

Since, the motion is downward, final velocity must be negative. So,

$v_d=-4.95\ m/s$

Upward motion:

Given:

Displacement of ball (S) = 0.665 m

Initial velocity ( $v_d$ ) = 4.95 m/s(Upward direction)

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

$v_{up}^2=v_d^2+2aS\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{v_d^2+2aS}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{24.5+2\times -9.8\times 0.665}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{10.966}=\pm3.31\ m/s$

Since, the motion is upward, final velocity must be positive. So,

$v_{up}=3.31\ m/s$

Now, impulse is equal to change in momentum. So,

Impulse = Final momentum - Initial momentum

$J=m(v_{up}-v_d)\\\\J=(0.150\ kg)(3.31-(-4.95))\ m/s\\\\J=0.150\ kg\times 8.26\ m/s\\\\J=1.239\ Ns$

Therefore, the impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction.

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T

Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2$ ...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of object

It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".

Nitella [24]

The average speed of the bus from Lansing to Detroit is
$v_1 = 104.5 km/h$
while the average speed of the bus from Detroit to Lansing is
$v_2 =56.2 km/h$

The distance covered by the bus in the two trips is the same (the distance between the two cities), therefore, the average speed of the round trip can be calculated as the mean of the two speeds:
$v= \frac{v_1+v_2}{2}= \frac{104.5+56.2}{2}=80.35 km/h$
