Answer:

c. 7.5 m/s south

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity of duck = 10m/s due South

Velocity of wind = 2.5m/s

To find the resultant velocity;

Since we know that the duck is flying against a gust of wind, we would have to subtract the velocity of the gust of wind from that of the duck.

This ultimately implies that, the gust of wind (headwind) would decrease the resulting velocity of the duck because it approaches the duck from the front.

Resultant velocity, /V/ = 10 - 2.5

Resultant velocity, /V/ = 7.5m/s South.

<em>Therefore, the resultant velocity of the duck is 7.5m/s south. </em>

Which graph best represents the relationship between KE and mass?
laila [671]

Answer:

First graph

Explanation:

Here we need to tell which graph best represents the relationship between kinetic energy and mass . As we know that ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} KE = 1/2 mv²

Here we will plot KE on y axis and mass of x axis. And it is in form of y = mx + c .On comparing the given equation with ,

\sf\red{\longrightarrow} y = mx + c

  • c = 0
  • m = 1/2v²

Therefore the line will be straight and will pass through origin with a slope v²/2 .

From the attached graphs , first graph is correct .

<h3>First graph best represents the relationship between kinetic energy and mass.</h3>

True or False - The 100 Meter sprint is similar movement to a wide receiver in football sprinting down the field to catch a foot
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Kinda but a football field is 100 yds. (91.4m), so not really because a Wide Receiver doesn't usually run down the entire field in one play. Also they have to pace themselves because they have to run more than one play in a whole game.

It is just as difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal surface on the Moon as it is here on Earth because
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Mass of the car is independent of gravity

Explanation:

Here, we want to state the reason why even though we have the acceleration due to gravity absent on the moon, it is still difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal level on the moon.

The answer to this is that the mass of the car that we want to accelerate is independent of gravity.

Had it been that gravity has an effect on the mass of the said car, then we might conclude that it will not be difficult to accelerate the car on a horizontal surface on the moon.

But due to the fact that gravity has no effect on the mass of the car to be accelerated, then the problem we have on earth with accelerating the car is the same problem we will have on the moon if we try to accelerate the car on a horizontal level surface.
