Answer:

1) move away from the windows.

When abrupt changes in pressure (produced by the hurricane) affect the windows, they can "explode" and be a serious danger for the people.

2) Go to the lowest level of the building.

Is safer than the upper levels because the lower levels suffer less from the strength of the hurricane (being closer to the ground increases the structural resistance), make sure that you have everything you may need in case of an emergency.

1.- Un barco recorre la distancia que separa Gran Canaria de Tenerife (90 km) en 6 horas. ¿Cuál es

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

Explanation:

A boat travels the distance that separates Gran Canaria from Tenerife (90 km) in 6 hours. Which the speed of the boat in km / h? And in m / s?

Given that,

Distance, d = 90 km = 90000 m

Time, t = 6 hours = 21600 s

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{90\ km}{6\ h}\\\\=15\ km/h$

$v=\dfrac{90000\ m}{21600\ s}\\\\=4.16\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 15 km/h or 4.16 m/s.

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s^2. (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of

jonny [76]

Answer:

a) It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s.

b) Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation of velocity for an object that moves in a straight line with constant acceleration is as follows:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocty.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

a) Using the equation of velocity, let´s consider that the car moves in the positive direction. Then:

v = v0 + a · t

2.00 m/s = 0 m/s + 1.40 m/s² · t

t = 2.00 m/s / 1.40 m/s²

t = 1.43 s

It takes her 1.43 s to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s

b) Let´s use again the equation of velocity, knowing that at t = 0.800 s the velocity is 0 m/s:

v = v0 + a · t

0 = 2.00 m/s + a · 0.800 s

-2.00 m/s / 0.800 s = a

a = -2.50 m/s²

Her deceleration is - 2.50 m/s²

How can acceleration be described?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener

iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$ (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.8m/s^2$

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J$

Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = $1.2\times 10^{-3}kg$

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J$

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = $(1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J$

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

The Bohr model below represents which answer Choice

Anton [14]

Answer:

Na⁺

Explanation:

In the given atom:

Number of protons = 11

Number of neutrons = 12

So, the number of electrons = 10

The number of protons within an atom is used to determine the kind of atom we have been given.

Since the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, here the atomic number is 11 and this is Sodium .

In this sodium atom, the number of protons is more than the number of electrons;

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons = 11 - 10 = +1

So, we have a Na⁺
