Answer:

17.89 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion can be expressed as:

v² = u² + 2as,

where

v = final velocity = given as 20 m/s

u = initial velocity = given as 7.0 m/s

a = acceleration. Since it is freefalling downwards, the acceleration it would experience would be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s = displacement (we are asked to find)

simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

20² = 7² + 2(9.81)s

400 - 49 = 19.62s

19.62s = 351

s = 351/19.62

s = 17.8899

s = 17.89 m/s

What is your average velocity after going 15 meters east followed by 20 meters
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement/time taken

going 15 meters east and then 20 meters west gives a displacement of 5 meters.

Velocity v = 5/10

= 0.5 m/s

Which description best models the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone?
Zinaida [17]

Answer : Option D) A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.

Explanation : The description that best suits the model for the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone is -

<h3>A dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.</h3>

As in the radiation zone, which is also called as radiative zone or radiative region in the layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction. This can be correlated with the example of a dropped wallet in a busy train station as the wallet would be kicked by many people who are in a hurry to travel, this represents the radiative diffusion. So, every time the wallet is being kicked by someone the energy is getting transformed.

aliina [53]

Answer:

It is less than 25m/s as the correct average is 24m/s.

Explanation:

This is becuase you need to take the average of the two speeds (18m/s and 30m/s) 18 + 30 divided by 2 is 24m/s.
