Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, v = 12m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

12 = U + 1.5*5

12 = U + 7.5

U = 12 - 7.5

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

4. Two straight wires are parallel and carry currents of 1.2 A in opposite directions, as shown. Find the direction of the magne
Mariana [72]
The directions of magnetic force and magnetic field lines are shown in the figure.

The direction to find out the magnetic field lines is given by right hand curl rule. If the thumb shows the direction of current, then the curling fingers show the direction of magnetic field lines.

The direction of force can be given by right hand thumb rule, where

Thumb - Direction of magnetic field lines
Forefinger - Magnetic force
Centre finger - Current  

Such that forefinger, centre finger and thumb must be at 90 degrees to each other.

What three factors affect the acceleration of an object?
nignag [31]

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased

A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 19 m and hits the ground with a speed that is five times its initial speed. What
Helen [10]

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball is 3.93 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 19 m, h = 19 m

Let u is the initial speed of the ball so, its final velocity, v = 5u

Using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2gh

(5u)^2-u^2=2\times 9.8\times 19

24u^2=372.4

u = 3.93 m/s

So, the initial speed of the ball is 3.93 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

How are limiting factors related to carrying capacity
Alona [7]

Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. ... The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported in a particular area without destroying the habitat. Limiting factors determine the carrying capacity of a population.
