Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.

__________ research is designed to measure the association between variables that are not manipulated by the researcher.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Option c. Correlational

Explanation:

Correlational research is basically a method of carrying out a research where an experiment can not be conducted and where a researcher has to figure out that whether the two variable are in association with each other and if these are related then in what way the association between these two exists without any manipulation from the researcher's end.

It seeks to understand, measure and make assessment of the relationship or

association between these variables but can not find out if a variable is caused by the other variable.

A 1.50 3 103 - kg car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s. Assume that air resistance remains const

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

let force exerted by engine be F.Net force =( F-400)N, applying newton law

F-400 = 1.5 x 10³x18 =27000 ,

F = 27400 N.

velocity after 12 s = 0 + 18 x 12 = 216 m/s

Average velocity = (0 + 216 )/2 = 108 m/s

Average power = force x average velocity = 27400 x 108 = 29.6 10⁵ W .⁶

b) At 12 s , velocity = 216 m/s

Instantaneous power = velocity x force = 216 x 27400 = 59.2 x 10⁶ W.

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

$h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m$ (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

$y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

$3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s$

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

$v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}$
