Answer:

The average speed of 3.5 m/s means that it takes Sally approximately 47.619 minutes to run 10,000 meters

Explanation:

Average speed is a scalar quantity that is given by dividing the total distance moved or traveled by an object by the time that it takes the object during the motion

The average peed indicates the rate at which the object makes a given amount of journey distance given that the journey is completed with varying speeds

With the knowledge of the average speed and the distance covered, the time for completion of the journey can be found as follows;

$Average \ speed , \overline v = \dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

Where

$\overline v$ = Average speed of the object = 3.5 m/s

Δt = The time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters

Δx = The total distance Sally runs = 10,000 meters

Therefore;

$\Delta t = \dfrac{\Delta x}{ \overline v} = \dfrac{10,000 \ m}{3.5 \ m/s} = \dfrac{20,000}{7} \ s \approx 2,857.143 \ s$

The time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters= Δt = 20,000/7 seconds ≈ 2,857.143 seconds

20,000/7 seconds ≈ 47.619 minutes

Therefore, the average speed of 3.5 m/s means that the time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters ≈ 47.619 minutes

You’ve made the hypothesis that the stepper the slope , the faster a ball will be rolling when it reaches the bottom .

BigorU [14]

Answer:

B) how steep the slope is

Explanation:

Because you have to know how is the influence of the steep of the slope in the time that a ball reaches the bottom. The steep of the slope is the variable that you would have to change in an experiment.

I hope this is useful for you

An object is pushed from rest across a sheet of ice, accelerating at 8.0 m/s^2 [E] over a displacement of 1.05 m [E]. The object

tatiyna

Answer:

$D_T=18.567m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration $a=8.0 m/s^2$

Displacement $d=1.05 m$

Initial time $t_1=6.0s$

Final Time $t_2=2.5s$

Generally the equation for Velocity of 1.05 travel is mathematically given by

Using Newton's Law of Motion

$V^2=2as$

$V=\sqrt{2*6*1.05}$

$V=4.1m/s$

Generally the equation for Distance traveled before stop is mathematically given by

$d_2=v*t_1$

$d_2=3.098*4$

$d_2=12.392$

Generally the equation for Distance to stop is mathematically given by

Since For this Final section

Final velocity $v_3=0 m/s$

Initial velocity $u_3=4.1 m/s$

Therefore

Using Newton's Law of Motion

$-a_3=(4.1)/(2.5)$

$-a_3=1.64m/s^2$

Giving

$v_3^2=u^2-2ad_3$

Therefore

$d_3=\frac{u_3^2}{2ad_3}$

$d_3=\frac{4.1^2}{2*1.64}$

$d_3=5.125m$

Generally the Total Distance Traveled is mathematically given by

$D_T=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$D_T=5.125m+12.392+1.05 m$

$D_T=18.567m$

Given the indices of refraction n_1 and n_2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the

aniked [119]

Answer:

a) order of refraction is a, e, de, c , c) a f g

Explanation:

a) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

.n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

sin θ / sin δδa) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

.n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ ₂

Sint θ1 / sin θ2 = n2 / n1

1 we see that the ray deviation is promotional to the ratio of the refractive indices

The order of refraction is a, e, de, c

.b) When a ray passes from a medium with less indicated refraction to a higher index the part of the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

a) no phase change

b) reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

c) no phase change

d) no phase change

e) there is a phase change

f) these phase changeo

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?

OLEGan [10]

This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.
