Answer:

-50 N

Explanation:

Givens:

V_i = 36 km/h

V_f = 18 km/h

t = 2 s

m = 20 kg

First we have to convert our km/h into m/s:

(36 km*(1000 m/1 km)) / (60 min *(60 s/1 min)) = 10 m/s

(18 km*(1000 m/1 km)) / (60 min *(60 s/1 min)) = 5 m/s

a = (V_f - V_i)/t

a = (5 m/s - 10 m/s) / 2 s

a = -2.5 m/s^2

F = m(a)

F = 20 kg(-2.5 m/s^2)

F = -50 N

It's a negative force meaning its acting on it opposite its current direction of movement.

A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir
elena55 [62]

In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y VelocityV_{iy} = 8.4 m/s

Acceleration in the Y direction a_{y} = -9.8 m/s^{2}, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.

Final Y Velocity V_{fy} = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.

Time taken t = ?

From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is V_{fy} = V_{iy} + a_{y}t

Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t

Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s

Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They
grigory [225]

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

           t = 4 88

           t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 352 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

          t = 6 88

          t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 528 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

           t = 8 88

           t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

            #_rotaciones = t / to

            #_rotations = 704 / 58.7

            #_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

How do prokaryotic cells replicate?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

When water changes into vapor this is called?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation.  BONUS:  This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).
