Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Waves (mechanical and electromagnetic) can transfer energy when they impact into something.

When a boat speeds in the water, the boat itself pushes water around it generating mechanical waves in the water, those mechanical waves now travel on the surface of the water. When those mechanical waves impact the buoy, the waves also move the buoy, and now the buy is in a "wave-like" motion (you can model the movement of the buoy as a mechanical wave, that goes up and down), so this is a good example of energy transfer.

A net force of 55 N acts due west on an object. What single force on the object produces equilibrium?
andrey2020 [161]

The force that will make this into equilibrium would be equal to the force of equal amount yet applied on the opposite direction.

<span>So we are given that a force of 55 N due west was applied, so the equilibrium force would be 55 N due east.</span>

Who discovered the laws of physics
astra-53 [7]

Answer: Isaac Newton

Explanation: Isaac Newton is popularly remembered as the man who saw an apple fall from a tree, and was inspired to invent the theory of gravity. If you have grappled with elementary physics then you know that he invented calculus and the three laws of motion upon which all of mechanics is based.

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity v_1  in time t_1

\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with v_2  and v_3  velocity for half-half time

\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}

\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}

Now average velocity is given by

v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}

taking t_1  common

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}
