Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s

Final velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

 Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity   -  Initial velocity }{time}  

  Acceleration = \frac{40 - 10}{2}    = 15m/s²

You are standing on a footbridge that is 12 feet above a lake. You look down and see a duck in the water. The duck is 7 feet awa
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

  30.22°.          

Explanation:

Given that

height of the bridge ,h= 12 ft

The distance of the lake from bridge ,L= 7 m

 Lets take angle = θ

Now by using diagram

We can say that

tan\theta =\dfrac{L}{h}

tan\theta =\dfrac{7}{12}

tan\theta=0.583

\theta=30.22^{\circ}

That is why the angle will be 30.22°.

If a special type of ice has a specific heat capacity of 2060 J/kg K. How
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Q = 144612 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.6 kg

Initial temperature = -27°C to Kelvin = 273 + (-27) = 246K

Final temperature = 0°C to Kelvin = 273K

Specific heat capacity = 2060 J/kgK.

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 273 - 246

dt = 27 K

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 2.6*2060*27

Q = 144612 Joules.

Loamy soil is ideal for gardening because it contains
swat32
The answer is D. <span>roughly equal parts sand, clay, and silt.
Sand is important because it provides necessary nutrients for the plants (both mineral and organic). Clay is important because it ensures that the plants are able to get proper oxidation, and Slit is important to ensure that the root of the plants anchored properly to the sand.</span>

an object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Rzqust [24]

-244.59meters

Explanation:

The initial position of the object is located at -244.59meters from the origin.

Displacement is the distance from the start to finish of a body.

Final position of the body is at x=-55.25 meters

 Amount of displacement is -189.34meters;

let us represent this by a coordinate system in the negative x - direction;

                                                                              Origin

Start                                       finish                            0m

   -a                                             -x

                                              -55.25meters

               displacement

                -189.34meters

Position -a is about 189.34 in left direction from 55.25; this gives:   55.25 + 189.34 = -244.59m in the left direction

A uniform ladder is 10 m long and weighs 400 n. it rests with its upper end against a frictionless vertical wall. its lower end
Nikolay [14]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

200 N

<h3><u>Solution;</u></h3>

Given ;

Weight = 400 N

Length of the ladder = 10 m

Using the equation;

Torque = d x F, where F is the perpendicular force and d is the distance

Calculating torque about the lower end,

Tweight = Twall

400N(5cos30) = F (10sin30)

 F = 200 N

Therefore, the magnitude of force exerted on the peg by the ladder is 200 N
