Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 15miles north = 24140.2m

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 4m/s

Unknown:

Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?

Solution:

The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.

  Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}  

  The speed of the student is 4m/s

Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

   The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

     To find the acceleration, we use

      v²  = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

     4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2

       a  = \frac{16}{2 x 24140.2}  = 0.00033m/s²

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, \omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

Explanation:

It is given that,    

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Velocity, v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let \omega is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}

\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is 6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

ECONOMICS GRADE 10 CASE STUDY TOPIC: South African growth and development: Mining and industry Manufacturing and services.​
bearhunter [10]

The correct answe is South Africa - Economic Growth and Development:

After the formal end of the previous apartheid system two decades ago, South Africa can now boast having one of the richest economies in Africa and a well-functioning democracy. It is the largest economy in Africa, but it also has deeply ingrained structural issues that limit its ability to expand and flourish.

One of the largest economies on the African continent is that of South Africa. However, despite a period of rapid development from 2003 to 2007, its real GDP average yearly growth rate between 2001 and 2010 has been very weak and unquestionably significantly below the African average. A number of African nations have had substantially faster growth rates, which has improved a number of development-related indices.

By the standards of the recent growth records of several Euro Zone nations, South Africa's development is hardly sluggish! One crucial aspect of the economy is that South Africa has achieved relatively modest progress in meeting a number of important development targets and some of the Millennium Development Goals, but her economy does not appear to have achieved the "take-off" required to kick start significant development progress, especially against the backdrop of her deep social problems.

The force of gravity on a 1 kg object on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 N. For the same object in low-earth orbit arou
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the cathers glove with a force of 25n
ioda
Acceleration is found if we have the force and mass. 

With the following equation: F = ma, we can find the missing values. 

F = 25n
M = 0.5 kg
a = ?

a = f/m
a = 25/0.5
a = 50

a = 50 m/s

So, the acceleration is 50 m/s^2

A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.
