Answer:

East

Explanation:

In circular motion, the velocity of the object will always be tangential to the radius of the circle. In this case, since the car is at the northernmost point of the circular track, then it must be moving right or towards the east, no matter what the acceleration might be at that very moment or what the radius of the track is. If it's moving clockwise, then it moves right (towards the east).

An ant moves at 5 cm/s. It takes her 2 minutes to cross a road. How wide is the road?
Alecsey [184]

so as this ant moves

5 cm every second you multiply 5 by 120 (60 per minute as there are 60 seconds in a minute)

this is 600 cm

or

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally aw
astraxan [27]

26.54 m/s  is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground

h=100m,v=20m/s,g=9.8m/s

time it takes to reach the ground,

[t=\sqrt2h/g],[=\sqrt2*100/9.8=4.51s]

x= 120m

t= 4.52

v= x/t

v= 120/4.52

v= 26.54 m/s

The "speed at which an object changes its location" can be expressed using a vector number called velocity. Consider a person who moves swiftly while taking two steps forward and two steps back while remaining in one location. Velocity is a vector quantity. Therefore, velocity is cognizant of direction. The direction must be taken into account when determining an object's velocity. A speed of 55 mph is not enough information. The direction must be used to appropriately depict the item's velocity. Simply said, the direction of the velocity vector indicates the direction of motion of an object.

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω
lisabon 2012 [21]
According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere 

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms
