Answer:

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.

Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)

Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs

Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pin return
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.68 s

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

a = (v-u)/t.................................. Equation 1

Making t the subject of the equation

t =(v-u)g............................. Equation 2

Where t = time taken for the bowling pin to reach the maximum height, v = final velocity bowling pin, u = initial velocity of the bowling pin, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative and down ward to be positive,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 8.20 m/s, g = -9.8 m/s²

t = (0-8.20)/-9.8

t = -8.20/-9.8

t = 0.84 s.

But,

T = 2t

Where T = time taken for the bowling pin to return to the juggler's hand.

T = 2(0.84)

T = 1.68 s.

T = 1.68 s

3. What is the main difference between a physical change and a chemical
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B and D could both be right as they are quit similar.

Consider two rods of the same length and diameter,

Increasing the diameter of one would change the expansion qualities of that rod even though there would be no chemical changes,

However, leaving the physical appearance of both rods the same while applying a reactive substance (acid or something) to one of the rods would not necessarily change the physical appearance of that rod but could make a considerable change in the  physical properties of that rod.

Whiteout friction you could not, write, drive or fly and airplane. Why not?
aleksklad [387]

friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Due to gravity pulling everything down things need to friction in order to move

i hope this helps :/
