A car travels 30 kilometers north for 2 hours, then travels 45 kilometers east for 3 hours. The car then drives south for 30 kil

ometers for 1.5 hours, finally travels west for 25 kilometers in 0.5 hours. What is the speed of the car? What is the velocity of the car?

*Let north and east as positive direction.
1. a = +30 km / 2 hr
a = +15 km/hr

2. a = +45 km / 3 hr
a = +15 km/hr

3. a = -30 km / 1.5 hr
a = -20 km/hr

4. a = -25 km / 0.5 hr
a = -50 km/hr

speed = (15+15+20+50) / 4
= 25 km/hr

velocity:
(horizontal): (+15-50)= -35 km/hr
(vertical): (+15-20)= -5km/hr
v = sqrt(35^2 + 5^2)
v = 35.36 km/hr

Earth-orbiting astronauts feel weightless in space because _____. Choose all that apply. 1 point They are in free-fall motion. T
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

They are in free-fall motion.

Explanation:

The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.

This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.

A rookie quarterback throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 17.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component
vitfil [10]

Answer:

(a) 1.73 s

(b) 14.75 m

(c) 3.36 s

(d) double

(e) 63.32 m

Explanation:

Vertical component of initial velocity, uy = 17 m/s

Horizontal component of initial velocity, ux = 18.3 m/s

(A) At highest point of trajectory, the vertical component of velocity is zero. Let the time taken is t.

Use first equation of motion in vertical direction

vy = uy - gt

0 = 17 - 9.8 t

t = 1.73 seconds

(B) Let the highest point is at height h.

Use III equation of motion in vertical direction

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0 = 17 x 17 - 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 14.75 m

(C) The time taken by the ball to return to original level is T.

Use second equation of motion i vertical direction.

h = ut + 0.5at^2

h = 0 , u = 17 m/s

0 = 17 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t^2

t = 3.46 second

(D) It is the double of time calculated in part A

(E) Horizontal distance = horizontal velocity x total time

d = 18.3 x 3.46 = 63.32 m

4. If a charged body is negatively charged, it has excess of _______
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged sub-atomic particles, therefore when a body's negatively charged, it means that there's more electrons than protons.
