Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2100 \ meters}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the distance a firework travels.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time, but we don't know the final velocity. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

d=v_it+\frac{1}{2} at^2

The initial velocity is 235 meters per second. The firework travels for 12 seconds. It has an acceleration of -10 meters per second squared.

  • v_i= 235 m/s
  • t= 12 s
  • a= -10 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= (235 \ m/s)(12 \ s) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 m/s^2)(12 \ s)^2

Multiply the first 2 numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds cancel.

d=(235 \ m * 12 ) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2

d= (2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (12 s)²= 12 s * 12s = 144 s²

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(144 \ s^2)

Multiply the other numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds squared cancel.

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m * 144 )

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-1440 \ m)

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2.

d= 2820  \ m + (-720 \ m)

Add.

d= 2100 \ m

The firework traveled <u>2100 meters</u> before exploding.

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?
artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

Select answer about motion and newtons law and explain why it's correct 23POINTS NEED ASAP
zlopas [31]

The train would need the greatest amount of force due to weight! If you think of it, a baseball won't need much force to stop it, but if you have a heavy train, it will need excessive force to stop the train. The answer would be #3


I hope this answer helps!

Sorry if it doesn't make sense, as I don't know that much about physics! I am just thinking of what makes sense.

A wave With wavelength 20 m has a frequency of 12 Hz what is the waves speed
pentagon [3]

Answer:

240m/s

Explanation:

The equation to calculate is wavelength= velocity/ frequency so to find the velocity you would have to multiply frequency by wavelength.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

Explain with one example that different types of organisums live in one habitation​
inn [45]

Answer:

When you look at a simple koi pond you can find Koi (the secondary consumer) that feeds off of the zooplankton (first consumer), they eat the phytoplankton (producers). All in a simple food chain

Explanation:

Basically, Koi eat the little animal plankton (zooplankton) that then eats the plant plankton (phytoplankton) that can only end when a part of that habitat is removed. If you got rid of the plant plankton then the whole chain would collapse and most likely die.
