Answer: 20.73m/s

Explanation:

The question simply wants us to calculate the speed of the pitch. The speed will be calculated as:

= Distance/Time

where,

Distance = 85 meters

Time = 4.1 seconds

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 85/4.1

Speed = 20.73m/s

Therefore, the speed of the pitch is 20.73m/s.

How many miles can you get on one tank of gas if your tank holds 18 gallons and you get 22 miles per
MrRissso [65]
Multiply the two. The units will cancel out. 22 miles per gallon can be expressed as 22 miles / 1 gallon, so you can write the following:
18 gallons * 22 miles / 1 gallon
Which simplifies to 18 * 22 miles = 396 miles.

A 0.68 kg squirrel is resting on a branch 8 meters above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel? A
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.68 kg

It is placed at a height of 8 m above the ground.

It is required to find the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel. It is possessed by an object due to its position. Its formula is given by :

E=mgh\\\\E=0.68\times 9.8\times 8\\\\E=53.312\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

I really need to know what is on the physics SOL please someone tell me
lawyer [7]

The term sol is used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on Mars.[7] A mean Martian solar day, or "sol", is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.[6]

“Sol” is often used as a direct replacement for “Day” when concerning Mars. Mission duration for Mars missions is measured in Sols, so saying “Today is Sol xyz” would be normal, but I’m not sure if anyone would say “what a wonderful Sol tomorrow is going to be”.

When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current would decrease 9 times.

Explanation:

Assume all others (potential difference U, resistivity ρ, and length L) are the same, only change in the diameter, we would have the following ratio

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{U/R_1}{U/R_2} = \frac{U}{U}\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{\rho L/A_2}{\rho L / A_1} = \frac{\rho L}{\rho L}\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{\pi d_1^2/4}{\pi d_2^2/4} = \frac{4\pi}{4\pi}\left(\frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)^2 = 3^2 = 9

I_2 = I_1/9

So the current would decrease 9 times.

If a boulder is dropped straight down off the edge of a vertical cliff, how long does it take it to reach 90 Km/h? Give in secon
Semmy [17]

Answer:

2.551 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Boulder is dropped from the cliff

thus,

Initial speed of the boulder, u = 0 m/s

Final speed to be obtained, v = 90 km/h =90\times\frac{5}{18} =25 m/s

also, in the case of free fall the acceleration of the boulder will be equal to the acceleration due to the gravity i.e g = 9.8 m/s²

Now, from the Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

where, a is the acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

t is the time

on substituting the respective values, we get

25 = 0 + 9.8 × t

or

t = \frac{\textup{25}}{\textup{9.8}}

or

t = 2.551 m/s
