The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.

Thanks for the question!

A would be walking away from home because the distance is going down.

B would be not walking because the distance is staying constant.

C would be walking slowly because the slope is small.

D would be walking quickly because the slope is large.

Hope this helps!

A ball is thrown up at a speed of 20 m/s.

ioda

Given:

(Initial velocity)u=20 m/s

At the maximum height the final velocity of the ball is 0.

Also since it is a free falling object the acceleration acting on the ball is due to gravity g.

Thus a=- 9.8 m/s^2

Now consider the equation

v^2-u^2= 2as

Where v is the final velocity which is measured in m/s

Where u is the initial velocity which is measured in m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity measured in m/s^2

s is the displacement of the ball in this case it is the maximum height attained by the ball which is measured in m.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

0-(20x20)= 2 x- 9.8 x s

s= 400/19.6= 20.41m

Thus the maximum height attained is 20.41 m by the ball

All of the following are true about scientific evidence except: *

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Your answer is D It does not need to be repeatable.

the reason for this is because C is correct.

You need to be able to experiment on something multiple times so that you can gather further data to imbedded your evidence in facts.

From a hot air balloon that is at rest at a certain height, a projectile is launched horizontally at 30m / s, how fast will it h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A. 50 m/s

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (10 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 40 m/s

In the x direction, the velocity is constant at 30 m/s.

The overall speed is:

v² = (30 m/s)² + (40 m/s)²

v = 50 m/s

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min. Find the

mylen [45]

Answer:

Angular acceleration, is $708.07\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the drill, $\omega_i=0$

After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min, final angular speed, $\omega_f=28940\ rev/min=3030.58\ rad/s$

We need to find the drill’s angular acceleration. It is given by the rate of change of angular velocity.

$\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{3030.58\ rad/s}{4.28\ s}\\\\\alpha =708.07\ rad/s^2$

So, the drill's angular acceleration is $708.07\ rad/s^2$ .

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

$s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}$

$t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }$

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s
