Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Average Speed = $\frac{Total Distance}{Total time}$

Plug in the numbers, it will be (6m + 3m) divided by (2s + 1s), which is 9m/3s, which equals to 3m/s.

a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$f=140\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the object on a horizontal surface, $m=50\ kg$

coefficient of static friction, $\mu_s=0.3$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.2$

horizontal force on the object, $F=140\ N$

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

$F_s=\mu_s.N$

where:

$N=$ normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

$F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)$

$F_s=147\ N$

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

$f=140\ N$

A student drops a rock from a bridge to the water 12.7 m below. with what speed does the rock strike the water? the acceleration

kolezko [41]

The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula

v= $\sqrt{2gh}$

v= $\sqrt{2*9.8*12.7}$

v=15.78 m/sec

Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.

Think about Newton's 2nd Law, Force equals mass times acceleration. Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg weight on identical wagon

Alexeev081 [22]

More force is needed for more mass. Therefore, if the mass is greater and the force is not enough then the object will less likely accelerate
