Connie flew from Phoenix to flagstaff, a distance of 180 miles at a constant speed of 180 miles per hour. She then returned to t

Answer:

120 miles/hour

Explanation:

The average speed is the ratio of total distance covered by an object or a body to the total time taken to cover the distance.

Mathematically,

    <em>Average speed = total distance covered/total time taken</em>

In the case of Connie:

total distance = 180 + 180 = 360 miles

In order to calculate the time for each trip

<em>speed = distance/time</em>

<em>   time = distance/speed</em>

From Phoenix to flagstaff:

  time = 180/180 = 1 hour

From flagstaff back to Phoenix:

  time = 180/90 = 2 hours

total time taken = 1 + 2 = 3 hours

Average speed = 360/3 = 120 miles/hour

<em>Hence, the average speed is </em><em>120 miles per hour.</em>

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?
viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}

  • It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
  • It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
  • It is represented by p.
  • It's SI unit is kg m/s
  • Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: \boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

\rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{p}{v}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{120.5}{5}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg

\therefore Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

Where is the near point of an normal eye when accidentally wear a contact lens with a power of +2.0 diopters?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm

Given:

Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters

Solution:

To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:

Power, P = \frac{1}{f}

where

f = focal length

Thus

f = \frac{1}{P}

f = \frac{1}{2} = + 0.5 m

The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.

Now, by using lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u'}

where

u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye

u' = image distance

Now,

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{0.5} - \frac{1}{0.25}

\frac{1}{u'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

Solving the above eqn, we get:

u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m        

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity \omega =4.46rad/sec

Moment of inertia is given by I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 as we know that v = v=\omega r

So KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2

Rotational kinetic energy is given by KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2

h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m
