If you neglect air resistance, then you can solve for the horizontal distance using the formula:

dx=vixt

Where:
dx = horizontal distance
vix = initial horizontal velocity
t = time in flight

Now you can see that you have all the given you need. 
vix= 2km/h
t = 0.25 hours

We use hours because you need the units to be the same. So just plug that in your equation and you will have your answer:

dx = vixt
     =(2km/h)(0.25h)
     =0.5km

This means that the answer to your question is B.

Consider a line of children.
defon

Answer:

b,c

Explanation:

Velocity refers to the rate of change of position with respect to time and acceleration refers to the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Both velocity and acceleration are vector quantities

While the line of children is rotating, <u>the player at the front of the line has the smallest linear velocity and all the children have the same angular acceleration.</u>

How does Lenz's Law illustrate the concept that "you can't get
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

When there is a change in magnetic flux linkage through a loop of wire, an electromotive force is induced in the loop, according to the Faraday-Newmann-Lenz Law:

\epsilon=-\frac{N\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

where

N is the number of turns in the loop

\Delta \Phi is the change in magnetic flux through the loop

\Delta t is the time elapsed

The negative sign in the formula represents Lenz's Law, and tells us about the direction of the electromotive force.

In fact, the negative sign means that the direction of the induced emf is such that to oppose to the change in the magnetic flux that originated the induced emf.

This is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy: no energy can be created out of nowhere. In fact, when the emf is induced in the loop, electrical energy appears in the circuit; however, this electric energy cannot come out of nowhere. Instead, it is just "created" from the transformation of some other form of energy (for instance, the mechanical energy that is used to move the loop in the magnetic field, and changing its magnetic flux).

The negative sign in Lenz's Law tells exactly this: the direction of the induced emf is such that it opposes the initial change in magnetic flux that generated the induced emf, so that overall the total energy is conserved.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1) a substance made by mixing other substances together.

2) diverse in character or content.

3) of the same kind; alike.

4) a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

5) a homogeneous noncrystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

a water-balloon launcher with mass 4 kg fires a 0.5 kg balloon with a velocity of 3 m/s to the east. what is the recoil velocity
kotykmax [81]
I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 =  4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s

Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
                   4V1= 1.5
                     V1= 1.5/4
                          = 0.375 m/s
