<span>Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel this distance. Velocity is the change in position divided by the time of travel. Velocity only depends on the starting and ending point but the speed depends on the path. Speed is a scalar quantity (the distance per time ratio) and velocity is a vector quantuty, because it is defined also with its direction.</span>

Answer:

The density ρ of metal block is 8.92g/cm³

So from the given density table this corresponds to copper which has density of 8.92(g/mL)

Explanation:

Oh yeah, I got the correct unit update,

Now this problem bothers on the density of substances

We know that the density of a substance is expressed as

Density ρ= mass/ volume

Given data

Mass of metal block m= 62.44g

Volume of metal block v= 7 cm³

Hence we can find the density of the metal block by plugging in our data into the expression for density

ρ of metal block = 62.44/7

ρ of metal block = 8.92g/cm³

The block is a copper block

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate the man’s mass. (Use PE = m × g × h
Blababa [14]

Answer:

56 kg

Explanation:

The change in potential energy of the man is given by:

\Delta U = mg \Delta h

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the man

In this problem, we have:

\Delta U=4620 J is the gain in potential energy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=8.4 m is the change in height

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:

m=\frac{\Delta U}{g\Delta h}=\frac{4620 J}{(9.8 m/s^2)(8.4 m)}=56 kg

The following three questions refer to a situation in which a driver is in a car that crashes into a solid wall. The car comes t
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 45000 N / s ,   p₀ '= 1800 , b)  I = -45000 N s ,  I = 1800 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse equals the change in momentum

         I = Δp

1) the initial moment of the car

         p₀ = M v

          p₀ = 1500 30

          p₀ = 45000 N / s

the change at the moment is

          Δp = 45000

because the end the car is stopped

moment of the person

          P₀ ’= m v

         p₀ '= 60 30

          p₀ '= 1800

          D₀ '= 1800

2) of the momentum change impulse ratio

        car

              I =  Δp

              I = -45000 N s

        person

              I = Δpo '

              I = 1800 Ns

3) the object that give the momentum to stop the wall motoring

The person is stopped by the impulse given by the car

a) This area is the one that absorbs most of the vehicle impulse

be) If using a safety painter, the time during which the greater force will act, therefore the lessons decrease

c) The air bag helps reduction in the speed of the person relatively quickly.

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.
