Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

Answer:

I think it is velocity.

because velocity shows the direction and magnitude .

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Well AM/Fm is digitally using soundwaves for cars through signal, which we cant hear without one (radio). Concerts are in real life and use wavelegnths that we hear because it bounces off overytihing.

Where have you heard the word calorie before what do you think a calorie is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

Ann walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. what is Ann's speed? what is Ann's velocity

ipn [44]

To calculate the speed and velocity of the Ann`s we use the formula,

$v= \frac{d}{t}$

Here, d is distance and t is time and v if we take it with direction then it is called velocity and if we take it without the direction then it is called speed.

Given $d=1.5 miles$ and $t=0.5 hours$ .

Substituting these values in above equation we get

$v=\frac{1.5mi }{0.5 h} = 3 mi/h$

As Ann walked towards south direction therefore, Ann`s velocity is 3 mi/h south and her speed is 3 mi/h .

brainly an andean condor with a wingspan and a mass soars along a horizontal path. model its wings as a rectangle with a width.

Anna35 [415]

The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is 101,204 Pa.

<h3>Difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan</h3>

The difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan is calculated as follows;

ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)

<h3>Area of the wingspan</h3>

A = bh

A = 2.7 m x 0.27 m

A = 0.729 m²

<h3>Weight of the Andean condor</h3>

W = mg

W = 9 x 9.8

W = 88.2 N

<h3>Pressure at the top surface of condor's wings</h3>

The pressure at the top surface of condor's wings is due to atmospheric pressure

P(top) = 14.7 Psi = 101,325 Pa

<h3>Pressure at the bottom surface of condor's wings</h3>

The pressure at the bottom surface is due to weight of andean condor.

P = W/A

P(bottom) = 88.2/0.729

P(bottom) = 120.99 Pa

The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is calculated as;

ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)

ΔP = 101,325 Pa - 120.99 Pa

ΔP = 101,204 Pa

The complete question is below;

An Andean condor with a wingspan of 270 cm and a mass of 9.00 kg soars along a horizontal path. Model its wings as a rectangle with a width of 27.0 cm.
