The formula for speed is distance÷time. The distance in this situation is 27km and the amount of time taken to cover that distance is 5 hours. Now, we substitute the values into an equation:
Speed = 27km/5h
Speed = 5.4km/h
Therefore, Desmond's speed is 5.4km/h.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w
melomori [17]

The  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

A 3.00 kg mud ball has a perfectly inelastic collision with a second mud ball that is initially at rest. the composite system mo
viva [34]
Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:

m_{1} * v_{1} +  m_{2} * v_{2} =  m_{1} * v'_{1} +  m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We have following information:
m₁=3 kg
m₂=? kg
v₁=x m/s
v₂=0 m/s
v'1 = v'2 = 1/3 * v₁

Now we insert given information and solve for m₂:
3*v₁ + 0*? = 3*1/3*v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
3v₁ = v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
2v₁ = m₂*1/3*v₁
2 = m₂*1/3
m₂= 6kg

Mass of second mud ball is 6kg.

user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>
