Answer:

i believe its 26.7

Explanation:

if the runner goes 8.9 m/s each second while accelerating for 3 seconds to reach top speed, the top speed would be 26.7 m/s

Answer:

it will be 8.9 over 3 m/s/s or m/s square

Explanation:

acceleration equal to speed over time

viva [34]

Answer:

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

Explanation:

Mass of the ball: m_{1} =0.12kg]

Initial velocity of the ball:   v_{i1}

final velocity of the ball: v_{f1} which is -30/100 of v_{i1} =-0.3v_{i1}

Mass of the bottle: m_{2} =2.4kg

Initial velocity of the bottle: v_{i2}=0m/s

final velocity of the bottle: v_{f2} is unknown (to find)

<em>by using conservation momentum, which stated that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.</em>

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} v_{i2} =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>so since the bottle is at rest firstly, therefore </em>v_{i2} =0<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} (0) =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em>         </em><em>equation 1</em>

so now substitute v_{f1} into equation 1

m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} (-0.3v_{i1} ) +m_{2} v_{f2}

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  = -0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>collect the like terms</em>

m_{1} v_{i1}   +0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  =m_{2} v_{f2}

1.3m_{1} v_{i1}   =m_{2} v_{f2}

divide both  side by m_{2}

v_{f2}=\frac{1.3m_{1} v_{i1}}{m_{2} }

Now substitute

v_{f2} =\frac{1.3*0.12*v_{i1}}{2.4}\\v_{f2}    =\frac{0.156v_{i1} }{2.4} \\v_{f2} =0.065v_{i1}

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

<em />

Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

the car turned a corner going 10m/s if it took two seconds to turn what is its acceleration is this acceleration​
exis [7]

The acceleration of this car is equal to 5 m/s^2.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Initial velocity = 0 m/s (assuming it's starting from rest).
  • Final velocity = 10 m/s.
  • Time = 2 seconds.

To determine the acceleration of this car:

<h3>How to calculate acceleration.</h3>

In Science, the acceleration of an object is calculated by subtracting the initial velocity from its final velocity and dividing by the time.

Mathematically,  acceleration is given by this formula:

a = \frac{V\;-\;U}{t}

<u>Where:</u>  

  • V is the final velocity.
  • U is the initial velocity.
  • is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

a = \frac{10\;-\;0}{2}

Acceleration, a = 5 m/s^2

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
