April moves from a position that is 5 m north of her front door to a new position that is 3 m south of her front door. If this m

ovement takes her 4 seconds what is her velocity?

Velocity =

(displacement)/(time for the displacement), in the direction of the displacement.

Displacement = 8 m south
Time for the displacement = 4 seconds
Direction of the displacement = south

Velocity (8 m south) / (4 seconds), to the south

Velocity = 2 m/s, toward the south

Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

Answer:

<em>The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv</em>

Explanation:

<u>Change of Momentum</u>

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

\Delta p=p_2-p_1

The momentum is computed as

p=mv

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

p_1=mv

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

p_2=0

The change of momentum is

\Delta p=0-mv=-mv

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

p_2=-mv

The change of momentum is

\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv
