Answer:

Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

The vector values are 4.0 km due East and 3.0 km due north the resultant vector is 5.0 km long and 37 north of East this values

klemol [59]

Answer:

This values shows a right angle triangle

Explanation:

Given;

a vector 4.0 km due East

a 3.0 km due north

the resultant vector is 5.0 km

The resultant vector can be obtained by Pythagoras theorem if the vectors form a right angle triangle.

R² = 4² + 3²

R² = 16 + 9

R² = 25

R = √25

R = 5 km (right angle triangle proved)

Therefore, this values shows a right angle triangle

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr

Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change

defon

The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by $\Delta T$ is given by
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m is the mass of the substance
$C_s$ the specific heat capacity
$\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is $C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C$ and the amount of heat supplied is $Q=31500 J$ , so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
$\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C$

Vivian went on a bicycle trip through Germany with her family. One afternoon, she rode her bicycle along a long flat road at a c

natima [27]

d = distance traveled by her on her bicycle on a long flat road = 24 kilometer

t = time taken by her to travel distance "d" on her bicycle on a long flat road = 1.2 hours

v = average speed of vivian = ?

we know that average speed is given as

v = d/t

inserting the values in the above formula

v = 24 kilometer / 1.2 hour

v = 20 kilometer/hour

hence the correct choice is

C) 20 km/h
