Answer:

A. Less than 2.9

Explanation:

Richter scale is a measure of the intensity of the earthquakes designed and developed by Charles Richter in 1935. Its value ranges from 1.0 to 9.0 and greater. The earthquakes having a Richter magnitude of less than 2.9 are minor earthquakes which are slightly felt by a few humans but can be recorded on a seismograph. Earthquakes with magnitude above 2.9 can easily be felt by humans.

A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car

dusya [7]

Answer: $32.77\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is $31,500\ miles$

Final reading on the odometer is $31,713\ miles$

Time taken is $t=6.5\ hr$

average velocity $=\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr$

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is $32.77\ mi/hr$

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally

emmainna [20.7K]

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The pumpkin's vertical displacement is $H = 27 .67 \ m$

The pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is $v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The horizontal speed is $v_h = 4 m/s$

The horizontal distance traveled is $d = 9.5 \ m$

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

$S = v_h * t$

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

$9.5 = 4 * t$

=> $t = \frac{9.5}{4}$

$t = 2.38 \ sec$

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

$H = v_v t + \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2$

now the vertical velocity before the throw is zero

So

$H = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2$

$H = 27 .67 \ m$

Now the final vertical velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_v__{f}} = v_v + at$

substituting values

$v_v__{f}} = 0 + (9.8)* (2.375)$

$v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

two cars are travelling side by side down a straight road in opposite directions. both cars are travelling at a speed of 22 m/s.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 44m/s

Explanation:

Speed of Car A travelling left = 22m/s

Speed of Car B travelling right = 22m/s

Now recall that relative speed of objects moving in opposite directions is equal to the sum of each speed

Hence, Relative speed = (Speed of Car A + Speed of Car B)

= (22m/s + 22m/s)

= 44m/s
