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

Why were quasars and active galaxies not initially recognized as being “special” in some way?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

In the past, astronomers look into the sky and the universe as a whole with an idea that it is a place where stars are born, transition through their life stages and ultimately die and this is because they couldnt differentiate between stars, quasars and active galaxies because with advanced equipment, they all look similar but as they technological ages arrived, they were able see that they are not the same.

An electric light is plugged into a 120-V outlet. If the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, how much electrical energy does the bulb
ioda

Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
