Answer:

Distance, d = 112.5 meters

Explanation:

Initially, the bicyclist is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the bicyclist, v = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the bicycle, $a=4\ m/s^2$

Let s is the distance travelled by the bicyclist. The third equation of motion is given as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{(30)^2}{2\times 4}$

s = 112.5 meters

So, the distance travelled by the bicyclist is 112.5 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.24 m/s

Explanation:

resolving force of 29.2 N in x component

Fx = 29.2 cos 57.7

Fx = 15.6N

as force of friction is 12.7 N hence net force which produces acceleration is

15.6-12.7=2.9 N

by Newton 's law a=f/m

a= 2.9/6.87=0.422 m/s^2

now equation of motion is

v^2= U^2+2as

= 0^2+2(.422)(5.93)

v^2=5.00

v=2.24 m/s

While looking at a cliff, you observe that three visible layers of rocks are tilted about 30 degrees. There are four straight ho

Answer:

the principle of original horizontality and the principle of superposition

Explanation:

The principle of horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the influence of gravity.

The principle of superposition states that the oldest layer layer is at the bottom and each layer above it is younger, with the youngest being at the top.

Unconformities help us find the age of different layers. An unconformity is a surface in which no new solid matter is deposited after a long geologic interval. Angular unconformity is a type of unconformity which different kinds of stratum were tilted or folded before deposition of younger layers of solid matter above the unconformity. Once the layers were folded and tilted, the older layers of the solid matter eroded, then the younger layers were deposited on the older layers. There angular unconformity is the contact between young and old layers of solid matter.

Therefore, these two principles therefore describe how the tilted layers are older than horizontal layers.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The new potential energy decreases by the factor of 2 to the old potential energy.

Explanation:

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation :

C = (ε₀A)/d

Here ε₀ is vacuum permittivity, A is area of the capacitor plate and d is the distance between them.

Potential energy of the capacitor, U = $\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$
