Answer:

Our average speed was 50 mph

Explanation:

Constant Speed Motion

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

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

The distance we had to drive is d=150 miles. If we left at 1 p.m. and got to the hotel at 4 p.m. This means we took t=3 hours to get there.

The average speed is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{150\ miles}{3\ h}$

$v=50\ mi/h$

Our average speed was 50 mph

In the light reactions, electrons from _______ replenish chlorophyll molecules that have given up electrons.

mel-nik [20]

Answer: water

The light reactions of noncyclic photophosphorylation takes place in the chloroplast. The light energy is converted to chemical energy to produce both ATP and NADPH, which act as energy-transfer molecules in the light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle. The addition of phosphate due to synthesizing of ATP by cells results to photophosphorylation.

Moreover, the electrons from water replenish chlorophyll molecules that have given up electrons by photolysis. The two electrons from the water molecule are kept in photosystem II, while the 2H+ and 1/2O2 are left out for further use.

A ball is projected with an initial velocity of 40 meter per second and reached maximum height of 160 meters calculate tge angle

Andru [333]

There's a problem with the question as given. Even with a maximum projection angle of θ = 90°, the initial velocity is not large enough to get the ball up in the air 160 m. With angle 90°, the ball's height y at time t would be

y = (40 m/s) t - 1/2 g t ²

Set y = 160 m, and you'll find that there is no (real) solution for t, so the ball never attains the given maximum height.

From another perspective: recall that

v ² - v₀² = 2a ∆y

where

• v₀ = initial velocity

• v = final velocity

• a = acceleration

• ∆y = displacement

At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, and ∆y = maximum height = 160 m. The ball is in free fall once it's launched, so a = -g.

So we have

0² - (40 m/s)² = -2g (160 m)
