Answer:

B. 7.6 km/s

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of the satellite orbiting Earth is, v=17000\ miles/hour

In order to convert the speed from miles/hour to km/s, we need to convert miles to km and hour to seconds.

The conversion factors are:

0.62 miles = 1 km

∴ 1 mile = \frac{1}{0.62}\ km

1 hour = 3600 s

Now, 17000 miles/hour can be rewritten as:

17000\times \frac{1\ mile}{1\ hour}\\\\=17000\times \frac{\frac{1}{0.62}\ km }{3600\ s}\\\\=\frac{17000}{0.62\times 3600}\ km/s\\\\=7.6\ km/s

Therefore, the speed in km/s is 7.6 km/s.

15. A body moving with a velocity of 20 m/s begins to accelerate at 3 m/s2. How far does the body move in 5 seconds? A. 137.5 m
Rudik [331]

Answer is B. According to the equation of motion s = vt + 1/2 at2 Where s is distance covered, v is velocity, a is acceleration and t is time taken. So, by putting all the values, we get s = (20)(5) + 1/2 (3)(5)2 s = 100 + 1/2 (3)(25) s = 100 + 1/2 75 s = 100 + 37.5 s = 137.5 meters

A 2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.5 kg cart that is initially held at rest. The carts
Inga [223]

Answer:

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

mass m1 = 2.3 kg

mass m2 = 1.5 kg

final velocity V2 = 4.9 m/s

final velocity V3 = - 1.9 m/s

to find out

total momentum  and velocity of the first cart

solution

we know mass and final velocty

and initial velocity of second cart V1 = 0

so now we can calculate total momentum that is m1 v2 + m2 v2

total momentum =  2.3 ×4.9 + 1.5 ×(-1.9)

total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s

and

conservation of momentum  is

m1 V + m2 v1  = m1 v2  + m2 v3

put all value and find V

2.3 V + 1.5 ( 0) = 2.3 ( 4.9 ) + 1.5 ( -1.9)

V = 8.42 / 2.3

V = 3.660 m/s

so velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2

1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2km

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that the direction traveled are

North>>>East>>>South

Hence the displacement is defined as the distance away from the initial position is

Initial position =18km

FInal position = 16km

The displacement = 18-16= 2km

Hence the displacement is 2km
