Answer:

Displacement = 20 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Kyle runs 20 m north, 20 m west and then 20 m south.

We need to find Kyles's total displacement.

Total distance = shortest path covered by Kyles.

The net displacement of Kyle is 20 m in east direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter

leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 7.9\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}7.9 s 2 m 7, point, 9, space, start fraction,

8090 [49]

Answer:

t = 3.516 s

Explanation:

The most useful kinematic formula would be the velocity of the motorcylce as a function of time, which is:

$v(t) = v_0 +at$

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. However the problem states that the motorcyle start at rest therefore v_0 = 0

If we want to know the time it takes to achieve that speed, we first need to convert units from km/h to m/s.

This can be done knowing that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore

1 km/h = (1000/3600) m/s = 0.2777... m/s

100 km/h = 27.777... m/s

Now we are looking for the time t, for which v(t) = 27.77 m/s. That is:

27.777 m/s = 7.9 m/s^2 t

Solving for t

t = (27.7777 / 7.9) s = 3.516 s

wariber [46]

Answer:

Alburt Bandura

Explanation:

Rosalind has learned to be impulsive and seldom waits for her turn when playing with other children, this trait she has learned from her father, who is also an impulsive man.

The theorist who would most likely suggest that Rosalind has learned to be impulsive from watching her father is Alburt Bandura. Alburt in his famous Bebo Doll experiment confirmed that children learn from the adults behavior in their life.
