A car driving at 20 m/s accelerates continuously 2m/s2 for 3 seconds. What is its final velocity

Lesechka [4]

Answer: V= u+ at

V= final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time taken

V= 20 + 2*3

V= 26m/s

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a

Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

$J=F.\Delta t$

$J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s$

$J=2\times 10^7\ N-s$

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

$J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i$

$J=p_f-p_i$

$p_f=J+p_i$

$p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s$

$p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s$

(c) For new velocity,

$v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}$

$v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}$

$v_f=1549.46\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the below is an example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation?

Marta_Voda [28]

b..a harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism

Explanation:

A harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism is one example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation.

Prey are smaller and less harmful organisms often hunted by larger organisms usually carnivores.

Mimicry is a form of evolutionary adaptation process in which two organisms of the same specie or different species tends to look alike.

It is a subtle defense mechanism developed by organism over an extended period of time.

Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework and ¼ of her remaining time riding her bike. If she rode her bike for 4

Doss [256]

Answer:120 min

Explanation:

Given

Amanda spent $\frac{2}{5}$ of her time after school doing Home work

And $\frac{1}{4}$ of her remaining time riding her bike

It is given that she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week

Let t be the time after school

therefore Amanda spend $\frac{2t}{5}$ in home work and $\frac{3t}{5}$ time is left

From remaining $\frac{3t}{5}$ time she spends $\frac{1}{4}$ time riding her bike

therefore $\frac{3t}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}=45$

thus $t=300 min$

therefore time spent on home work is $\frac{2}{5}\times 300=120 min$
