ryzh [129]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: A.True

Explanation: simply put the magnitude of the speed is a function of Distance while the magnitude of velocity is a function of Displacement. Displacement is the average Distance moved in different directions which will be smaller in magnitude compared to the Total Distance used the calculating the magnitude of speed.

What is the unique geological feature found on Mercury surface?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The surface of Mercury has landforms that indicate its crust may have contracted. They are long, sinuous cliffs called lobate scarps. These scarps appear to be the surface expression of thrust faults, where the crust is broken along an inclined plane and pushed upward.

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little bit.

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this, we start by using one of the equations of motion. The very first one, in fact

1

V = U + at.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 3.4 = 2.72 m/s.

2.

V = 0 + 0.8 * 4.3 = 3.44 m/s.

3.

d = ½ * 0.8 * 4.3² + 3.44 * 12.9

d = 7.396 + 44.376

d = 51.77 m.

4.

d = 62 - 51.77 = 10.23 m. = Distance

traveled during deceleration.

a = (V² - Vo²) / 2d.

a = (0² - 3.44²) / 20.46

a = -11.8336 / 20.46 = -0.58 m/s²

5.

t = (V - Vo)/a =(0 - 3.44) / -0.58

t = -3.44/-.58 = 5.93 s

= Stop time.

T = 4.3 + 12.9 + 5.93 = 23.13 s. = Total

time the hare was moving.

6.

d = Vo * t + ½ * a * t² = 62 m.

0 + 0.5 * (23.13)² * a = 61

267.5a = 61

a = 61/267.5

a = 0.23 m/s²

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could clearly resolve at
atroni [7]

 Answer:

y = 52.44 10⁻⁶  m

Explanation:

It is Rayleigh's principle that two points are resolved if the maximum of the diffraction pattern of one matches the minimum the diffraction pattern of the other

Based on this principle we must find the angle of the first minimum of the diffraction expression

         a sin θ= m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1

       sin θ =  λ  / a

Now let's use trigonometry the object is a distance L = 0.205 m

        tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small, let's approximate

        tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = sin  θ

        sin θ = y / L

We substitute in the diffraction equation

         y / L =  λ  / a

         y =  λ  L / a

Let's calculate

        y = 550 10⁻⁹ 0.205 / 2.15 10⁻³

        y = 52.44 10⁻⁶ m

Please help me and thank you
fredd [130]

Answer:

536.56 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the momentum of the Porsche. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of Porsche = 1361 kg

Velocity (v) of Porsche = 26.82 m/s

Momentum of Porsche =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 1361 × 26.82

Momentum of Porsche = 36502.02 Kgm/s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity you need to be running with in order to have the same momentum as the Porsche. This can be obtained as follow:

Your Mass = 68.03 kg

Your Momentum = Momentum of Porsche = 36502.02 Kgm/s

Your velocity =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

36502.02 = 68.03 × velocity

Divide both side by 68.03

Velocity = 36502.02 / 68.03

Velocity = 536.56 m/s

Thus you must be running with a speed of 536.56 m/s in order to have the same momentum as Porsche.
