D.

This is an accordance with Newton's First Law of Motion, stating that objects in motion remain in motion and objects at rest remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

28. (a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a sp
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

a) # buses = 7  

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematic equations, let's find the time it takes to reach the same height

   

     y =v_{oy}  t - ½ g t²

Let's decompose the speed, with trigonometry

      v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

      v_{oy} = v₀ sin  θ

      v₀ₓ = 40 cos 32

      v₀ₓ = 33.9 m / s

      v_{oy} = 40 sin32

      v_{oy} = 21.2 m / s

When it arrives it is at the same initial height y = 0

         0 = (v_{oy} - ½ gt) t

That has two solutions

       t = 0                    when it comes out

       t = 2 v_{oy} / g       when it arrives

       t = 2 21.2 /9.8

       t = 4,326 s

We use the horizontal displacement equation

       x = vox t

       x = 33.9   4.326

       x = 146.7 m

To find the number of buses we can use a direct proportions rule

    # buses = 146.7 / 20

    # buses = 7.3

    # buses = 7

The distance of the seven buses is

     L = 20 * 7 = 140 m

b) let's look for the scope for this jump

     R = vo2 sin2T / g

     R = 40 2 without 2 32 /9.8

     R = 146.7 m

As we can see the range and distance needed to pass the seven (7) buses is different there is a margin of error of 6.7 m in favor of the jumper (security)

A car travels for 10s at a steady speed of 20 m/s along a straight road. The traffic lights ahead change to red, and the car slo
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The right solution is "2.5 m/s²". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial velocity,

= 20 m/s

Final velocity,

= 0 m/s

Time,

= 8 s

As we know,

⇒  Acceleration=\frac{Final \ velocity-Initial \ velocity}{2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                       =\frac{0-20}{8}

⇒                       =\frac{-20}{8}

⇒                       =-2.5 \ m/s^2

lisov135 [29]

Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

Four balls have the same temperature. Which ball has the most thermal<br> energy?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The ball with the largest mass and highest specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

This is because, the thermal energy which is Q = mcΔT and since c = specific heat capacity of the ball, m = mass of ball and ΔT = temperature change = constant,

Q ∝ mc

So the thermal energy is directly proportional to mass and specific heat capacity of the ball, So, the ball with the highest product of these two properties has the highest thermal energy.
