Answer:

C -) The friction between an object and air.

Explanation:

The frictional force is the force that exists between two surfaces in contact, which is opposed to the movement.

That is, this type of force exists as long as there is physical contact between surfaces.

While the other types of force always act at a separation distance between bodies.

A block of concrete has a mass of 48kg a crane lifts the block to a height of 12m above the ground calculate the gravitational p

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J

A motorboat traveling 4 m/s, East encounters a current traveling 3.0 m/s, North. a) What is the resultant velocity of the motorb

Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, $v_1=4\ m/s$

Velocity in North, $v_2=3\ m/s$

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

$v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s$

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}$

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

$x=v_2\times t$

$x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s$

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A bus driver drove from Philadelphia to Washington DC. He drove the first 100km in 2 hours, the next 55km in 1 hour, and the fin

Alla [95]

Answer:

b. 46 km/hr

Explanation:

Applying,

S' = d'/t'................... Equation 1

Where S' = Average speed of the bus, d' = Total distance covered by the bus, t' = Total time taken.

From the question,

d' = (100+55+75) km = 230 km

t' = (2+1+2) = 5 hours

Substitute these values into equation 1

S' = 230/5

S' = 46 km/hr.

Hence the correct option is b. 46 km/hr

We timed how long it took for the ball to travel 1 meter several times, so we could calculate an “average” time to use in the ve

damaskus [11]

We need to find the average speed of the ball during the motion of 1 m

In order to find that we took several reading and found following times to cover the distance of 1 m

t1 = 2.26 s

t2 = 2.38 s

t3 = 3.02 s

t4 = 2.26 s

t5 = 2.31 s

Now in order to find the average time we can write

$T_{mean} = \frac{t_1 + t_2 + t_3 + t_4 + t_5}{5}$

$T_{mean} = \frac{2.26 + 2.38 + 3.02 + 2.26 + 2.31}{5}$

$T_{mean} = 2.45 s$

So average time to cover the distance of 1 m by ball will be 2.45 s

here 3.02 s is not the average time but we can say it is the median of the readings of all possible values which we can not use in our calculation as average time
