If a car is moving with constant speed that means rate of change of speed is zero. Hence, acceleration is zero.

¿Qué características debe tener el movimiento de una persona para que el valor del desplazamiento sea igual al de la distancia r

SIZIF [17.4K]

Explanation:

What characteristics must the movement of a person have so that the value of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled?

Displacement is equal to the shortest path covered by an object. It is given by the difference of final position and the initial position.

Distance is equal to the total path covered by an object during the journey.

When an object moves in a straight line path, in this case, the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.

Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel

spayn [35]

Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation

How was the formation of the outer planets affected by their distance from the sun?

djverab [1.8K]

The formation of the outer planets are affected by their distance from the sun with having them to maintain the lighter elements that they are composed of such as the hydrogen and helium, having them far away will also make their planet more cooler as the sun is distant from them.

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi

Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm$

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.
