Answer:

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1167

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity =28m/s

To find the workdone;

We know that from the workdone theorem, the workdone by an object or a body is directly proportional to the kinetic energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

W = Kf - Ki

W = ½MVf² - ½MVi²

Substituting into the equation

W = ½(1167)*28² - ½(1167)*10²

W = ½ * 1361889* 784 - ½ * 1361889 * 100

W = 533860488 - 68094450

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

where

$\Delta y$ is the increment in the y-variable

$\Delta x$ is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

$\Delta y$ corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, $\Delta s$

$\Delta x$ corresponds to the change in time $\Delta t$ , so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

$m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}$

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.

you drive in a straight line at 20.0m/s for 10.0 min, then 30.0m/s for another 10.0 min. Find the average speed.

Juliette [100K]

Answer is 25 m/s.

Explanation;

Step 1 : Convert the units into same unit.

Here speeds are given in m/s while the time is in minutes. So, let's convert minutes into seconds.

1 min = 60 s

Then,

10 minutes = 10 x 60 s = 600 s

Step 2 : Find the total distance that you have travelled.

To find that you need to first find distances separately.

We know the formula, s = vt, where s is the distance, v is the speed or velocity and t is the time.

First you have travelled 10 minutes (600 s) at 20.0 m/s.

Then distance, s = 20.0 m/s x 600 s = 12 000 m

Secondly you have travelled again 10 minutes at 30.0 m/s

Then distance = 30.0 m/s x 600 s = 18 000 m

Then, the total distance = 12 000 m + 18 000 m = 30 000 m

Step 3 : Find the total time taken to travel.

Total time = 600 s + 600 s = 1200 s

Step 4 : Calculate the average speed.

Average speed = total distance / total time

= 30 000 m / 1200 s

= 25 m/s

What would be the best example of a fine motor skill? a. Climbing to the top of a large hill b. Feeding yourself with a spoon c.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The correct answer is

b. Feeding yourself with a spoon

Explanation:

There are two categories of motor skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills

Fine motorskills also known as dexterity is the synchronized use of small muscles like muscles in the wrists, hands and fingers along with the eyes. Fine motor skills are used for tasks like turning pages or using the computer key board that requires coordinated and precise movements. Human dexterity is reflected in the level of complexity of functions controlled by the nervous system.

Example of fine motor skill is Feeding yourself with a spoon while gross motor skill includes climbing to the top of a large hill spoon, running in a race and crawling

How does gravity keep the moon in orbit around earth

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The moon's orbit draws the oceans to it, which triggers ocean tides. Force produces stars and planets by gathering the mass from which it exists.
