Answer:

i. -4m

ii. 20m

Explanation:

The car travels 8m to the east, then travels 12m to the west which is the opposite of the east. Going west, the car travels 8m back to the origin point and then another 4m due west to make 12m. The displacement from the origin point is -4 (the negative sign shows the direction because displacement is a vector quantity)

Total distance = 8m going east + 8m back to origin + 4m west = 20m

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20.00 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how long is the ball in th

algol [13]

Answer:

1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.

2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.

Explanation:

The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.

thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where

'v' is the final speed of the ball

'u' is the initial speed of the ball

'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

's' is the distance it covers

Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

$0=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{20^{2}}{2\times 9.81}=20.387meters$

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as

$v^2=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 15\\\\v^{2}=105.7\\\\\therefore v=10.28m/s$

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\frac{10.28-20}{-9.81}=0.991seconds\approx 1second$

A crane lifts an air conditioner to the top of a building. If the building is 12 m high, and the air conditioner has a mass of 2

andrey2020 [161]

Work needed = 23,520 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

height = 12 m

mass = 200 kg

Required

work needed by the crane

Solution

Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object

Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.

Can be formulated

W = F x d

W = Work, J, Nm

F = Force, N

d = distance, m

F = m x g

Input the value :

W = mgd

W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m

W = 23520 J

what does the presence of the mosesaurus fossils tell the initial location and positioning of soyth america africa and antartica

kicyunya [14]

The remains of Mesosaurus- a crocodile-like reptilian tells United States that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once joined along which implies they were once an enormous continent. However, because of the idea called the geological phenomenon, this one massive continent began to break so making individual continents.
