Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.

Distance = speed/time

width/distance given is 2.9*10^3 miles
1 mile=1.6*10^6mm
total distance now is 2.9*1.6*10^9
speed is 25 mm/yr
plug the values,
therefore the rift takes approximately 185600000 years for a width <span>of 2.9 x 10^3 mi.</span>

The correct notation for an alpha particle

TiliK225 [7]

Can't find the options on the keyboard so ill try to describe it. I think either an He symbol or the greek letter alpha is accepted. There must be a 4 at the top left and a 2 at bottom left.

You drop a batitin a stationary elevator and the ball hits the floor in o 50 s. How long does it take for the ball to hit the fl

solmaris [256]

Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u = initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

$s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2$

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2$

4.9t^2 - t - 1.225 = 0

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s

Please explain how to solve 17 and 18

andriy [413]

Answer:

17. h = l − l cos θ

18. 1.40 m

Explanation:

Let's call d the height of the triangle. We can then say:

h = l − d

Using trig, we can write d in terms of l and θ:

d = l cos θ

h = l − l cos θ

If l = 6 m and l cos θ = 40°:

h = 6 − 6 cos 40

h ≈ 1.40
