Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming no friction between the roller coaster car and the hill, and neglecting air resistance, the kinetic energy the roller coaster car would have at the bottom of the hill would be equal to its gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill, by conservation of energy.

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Ian's total distance covered = (2km + 0.5km + 2.5km) = 5 km.

His time to cover the distance = 3 hours.

Average speed = (5 km) / (3 hrs)

Average speed = (5/3) (km/hr)

Average speed = 1.67 km/hr

The horizontal speed of the object 1.0 seconds later is 1) 5.0 m/s.

Explanation:

The motion of an object thrown horizontally off a cliff is a projectile motion, which follows a parabolic path that consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

This means that the horizontal speed of an object in projectile motion does not change, and remains constant during the whole motion.

Since in this case the object has been launched with a horizontal speed of

v = 5.0 m/s

this means that this speed will remain constant during the motion, so its horizontal speed 1.0 s later is also 5.0 m/s.

When NASA was communicating with astronauts on the Moon, the time from sending on the Earth to receiving on the moon was 1.33 s.

frez [133]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description, which determine the velocity, such as the displacement of a particle as a function of time, that is to say

$v = \frac{x}{t}\rightarrow x = v*t$

Where,

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

t = Time

Our values are given as,

$v=3*10^8m/s$

$t = 1.33 s$

Replacing we have that,

$x=v*t$

$x=(3*10^8)(1.33)$

$x = 399'000.000m$

Therefore the distance from Earth to the Moon is 399.000 km

A car takes off from rest takes of from rest and covers a distance of 80m on a straight road in 10s.Calculate the magnitude of i

hodyreva [135]

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [the car was at rest]
Distance (s) = 80 m
Time (t) = 10 s
Let the magnitude of acceleration be a.
By using the equation of motion, $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$ we get, $80 = 0 \times 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {10}^{2} \\ = > 80 = \frac{1}{2} \times 100a \\ = > 80 = 50a \\ = > a = \frac{80}{50} \\ = > a = 1.6$
