Is eureka a better conductor than copper

Maggie walks to a friends house which is exactly 1500 meters due South. It takes Maggie 45 minutes for the walk and Maggie has t

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Velocity </u>

These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as

$\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{\vec r}{t}$

Where $\vec r$ is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

To compute $\vec r$ , we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.

Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is

$\vec r=1500\ m \text{ to the south}$

and the velocity is

$\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{1500}{45}=33.33\ m/s\text{ to the south}$

Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is

$d=1500+500=2000\ m$

If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is

$\displaystyle v=\frac{2000}{45}=44.44\ m/s$

What do high pressure systems usually cause A: CLEAR, DRY WEATHER B: CLOUDY, WET WEATHER C: COLD, WET WEATHER D: HOT AND HUMID W

Triss [41]

C. Clear, dry weather. A good way to remember is H for high pressure = H for happy weather; L for low pressure = L for lousy weather (Glad I had someone to tell me this)

Four football players are running down the field at the same speed. Player 1 weighs 180 lbs and is running toward the south goal

Serggg [28]

Player 2 because moment is mass times acceleration and since they are all going the same speed. Speed doesn't matter so the only thing that is left is mass/ weight and he has the most

What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL

sweet [91]

Answer:

1.55 N

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

0.789 g/mL = m / 200.0 mL

m = 157.8 g

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = (0.1578 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 1.55 N
