Answer:

(a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Explanation:

Given that,

Top speed = 415 km/h

1 miles = 1609 m

(a). We need to calculate the speed in m/s

Using conversion of km/h to m/s

$v=415\ km/h$

$v=415\times\dfrac{5}{18}$

$v=115.28\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the distance from London to Edinburgh in km

Using conversion for distance

$d=403\ miles$

Distance in meter,

$d=403\times1609$

$d=648427\ m$

$d=648.427\ km$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{648.427}{415}$

$t=1.56\ h$

$t=1\ hours 34\ min$

$t= 94\ min$

(c). Speed v' =7.66 km/s

v'=7660 m/s

In the time it takes the car to travel from London to Edinburgh,

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d'=v'\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$d'=7660\times94\times60$

$d'=43202400\ m$

$d'=43202.400\ km$

(d). Speed :

Speed is equal to the distance divided by time.

It is scalar quantity.

Velocity :

Velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.

It is vector quantity.

Hence, (a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti

Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J

Answer:

a) b) d)

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The Complete question might be

In an inertial frame of reference, a series of experiments is conducted. In each experiment, two or three forces are applied to an object. The magnitudes of these forces are given. No other forces are acting on the object. In which cases may the object possibly remain at rest? The forces applied are as follows: Check all that apply.

a)2 N; 2 N

b) 200 N; 200 N

c) 200 N; 201 N

d) 2 N; 2 N; 4 N

e) 2 N; 2 N; 2 N

f) 2 N; 2 N; 3 N

g) 2 N; 2 N; 5 N

h ) 200 N; 200 N; 5 N

For th object to remain at rest, sum of all forces must be equal to zero. Use minus sign to show opposing forces

a) 2+(-2)=0 here minus sign is to show the opposing firection of force

b) 200+(-200)=0

c) 200+(-201) $\neq$ 0

d) 2+2+(-4)=0

e) 2+2+(-2) $\neq$ 0

f) 2+2+(-3) $\neq$ 0; 2+(-2)+3 $\neq$ 0

g) 2+2+(-5) $\neq$ 0; 2+(-2)+5 $\neq$ 0

h)200 + 200 +(-5) $\neq$ 0; 200+(-200)+5 $\neq$ 0
