Answer:

16.67m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance Pete drove  = 300m

Time taken  = 18s

Unknown:

Speed  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

   Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Speed  = \frac{300}{18}  = 16.67m/s

What statement is true about earth tectonic plates
DaniilM [7]
Continent jig-saw shapes when puzzled and combined together, formed one big continent - Pangea, and was separated by drifts.

Fossil comparisons of different species were discovered into two different, separated continents in which when you combine them, they were one in the past.

Seismic, volcanic, and geothermal activity are found along imagined plate boundaries. 

Plates were actually rubbing against each other as evidence is seen on the formed mountain ranges.

A double-slit experiment uses light of wavelength 650 nm with a slit separation of 0.100 mm and a screen placed 4.0 m away. a) W
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Slit separation d = .1 x 10⁻³ m

Screen distance D = 4 m

wave length of light  λ = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m

Width of central fringe = λ D / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}\times4}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 26 mm

b ) Distance between 1 st and 2 nd bright fringe will be equal to width of dark fringe which will also be equal to 26 mm

c ) Angular separation between the central maximum and 1 st order maximum will be equal to angular width of fringe which is equal to

λ  / d

= \frac{650\times10^{-9}}{.1\times10^{-3}}

= 6.5 x 10⁻³ radian.

An egg of mass 0.060 kg is dropped from the top of a building. Just before it reaches the ground, it has a total kinetic energy
3241004551 [841]

The velocity is 14 m/s

The parameters given on the question are

mass= 0.060 kg

kinetic energy= 5.9 joules

K.E= 1/2mv²

5.9= 1/2 × 0.060 × v²

5.9= 0.5 × 0.060v²

5.9= 003v²

v²= 5.9/0.03

v²= 196.66

v= √196.66

v= 14 m/s

Hence the velocity of the egg before it strikes the ground is 14 m/s

The y-component of the force F which a person exerts on the handle of the box wrench is known to be 70 lb. Determine the x-compo
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>Fx = 121.24lb</em>

<em>F = 140lb</em>

Explanation:

Since we are not given the angles subtended by the force, we can assume it to be 30 degrees.

The y component of the force expressed by the formula:

Fy = Fsintheta

Given the y-component of the force F to bee 70lb

70lb =  Fsintheta

Get magnitude of the force

F = 70/sin theta

F = 70/sin 30

F = 70/0.5

F = 140lb

Get the x-component of the force

Fx = Fcos theta

Fx = 140cos 30

Fx = 140(0.8660)

Fx = 1,212.4lb

<em>Hence the  x-component of the force sis 121.24lb</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note that the angle used was assumed. Other values can as well be used</em>
