Answer:

a) 20 m/s

b) 37.5 m)s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

=> (a) average speed of a car that travels 400m in 20s

= 400/20 = 20 m/s

& (b) average speed of an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes (or 4×60=240 seconds)

= 1500/240 = 37.5 m/s

Carlos runs with velocity \vec{v}v →= (5.6 m/s, 29o north of east) for 10 minutes. How far to the north of his starting position

romanna [79]

Answer:

1629 metres

Explanation:

Given that Carlos runs with velocity v = (5.6 m/s, 29o north of east) for 10 minutes.

To the north, the velocity will be:

V = 5.6 × sin 29

V = 2.715 m/s

Convert the time to second

Time = 10 × 60 = 600

Using the formula below

Velocity = distance/ time

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.715 = distance/600

Distance = 2.715 × 600

distance = 1629 m

What is the main cause of global convection currents

viktelen [127]

Convection currents are caused by an uneven temperature within something. Convection currentshappen within the Earth's magma, water and air. It can happen in anything that is not solid and has parts that are cooler or warmer than other parts.

How does the resultant displacement change as the angle between two vectors increases from 90° to 120°?

user100 [1]

The resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

The resultant of the two vectors is given by parallelogram law of vectors.

The parallelogram law of vector addition states that if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from the point of intersection of the vectors represents the resultant vector in magnitude and direction.

The resultant of these vectors, say vector A, and B, is given as;

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab.Cos (\theta )$

When;

θ = 90°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2$

When;

θ = 120°

$R^2 = a^2 + b^2 + ab$

Thus, the resultant displacement between the two vectors will increase.

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²
