Answer: 20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

Answer:

a) 500

b)-500, north west

Explanation:

a) sum of F= F1+F2= 200+300= 500

b) sum of forces=0

so 200+300-500+0

011 10.0 points

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

2.47 m

Explanation:

Let's calculate first the time it takes for the ball to cover the horizontal distance that separates the starting point from the crossbar of d = 52 m.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is constant:

$v_x = v cos \theta = (25)(cos 35.9^{\circ})=20.3 m/s$

and the time taken to cover the horizontal distance d is

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{52}{20.3}=2.56 s$

So this is the time the ball takes to reach the horizontal position of the crossbar.

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

$y=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

$u_y = v sin \theta =(25)(sin 35.9^{\circ})=14.7 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

And substituting t = 2.56 s, we find the vertical position of the ball when it is above the crossbar:

$y=(14.7)(2.56) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.56)^2=5.52 m$

The height of the crossbar is h = 3.05 m, so the ball passes

$h' = 5.52- 3.05 = 2.47 m$

above the crossbar.

Why is it important to use placebos and a double-blind approach in some studies

viktelen [127]

Another name for these two words is "constant" and you want to have a "constant", because you want something to compare your experimental group to, to see whether data had changed or not. So you have placebos or a double- blind to compare your experimental group to it and also so you know you don't have a bias or anything in the study.

Think about Newton's 2nd Law, Force equals mass times acceleration. Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg weight on identical wagon

Alexeev081 [22]

More force is needed for more mass. Therefore, if the mass is greater and the force is not enough then the object will less likely accelerate

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2$

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².
