Answer:

Magnitude = 55

Quantity = Speed

Explanation:

We are told that the speed is 55 mph. This implies that the magnitude is 55 while the unit is mph.

Also, physical quantities are usually things that can be measured such as distance, voltage, temperature e.t.c

Concept Simulation 2.3 provides some background for this problem. A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive dire

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

39 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

The equation of motion of the ball is:

$y(t) = y_0 + v_{0y}t-(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)t^2$

Where y_0 is the initial horizontal position, which we will take as zero.

v_0y is the initial velocity and t is the time

To find the initial velocity we will set y(7.96s) = 0

$0 = v_{0y} (7.96 s)-(4.9 m/s^2)(7.96 s)^2\\v_{0y} =(4.9 m/s^2) (7.96 s)\\v_{0y}=39.004 m/s$

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.

A woman rides a carnival Ferris wheel at radius 20 m, completing 6.0 turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What are (a)

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of ferris wheel is 20 m

It completes 6 turns in 1 min

i.e. 1 turn in 10 sec

Therefore its angular velocity is $\omega =\frac{2\pi }{10} rad/s$

(a)Period of motion is 10 s

Magnitude of centripetal acceleration is $\omega ^2r$

$=\left ( \frac{\pi }{5}\right )^2\times 20=7.89 m/s^2$

(b)Highest point will be 40 m

A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream.

kotykmax [81]

Their "airspeeds" (speed through the air) are equal, but the one traveling in the
same direction as the jet-stream appears to move along the ground faster.
