A tennis ball covers a distance of 12 meters in 0.4 seconds what is the velocity of the tennis ball?

Answers

V=d/t
V=12/0.4
V=30 m/s

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 12m

Time taken  = 0.4s

Unknown:

Velocity of the tennis ball = ?

Solution:

Velocity of a body is the displacement per unit of time.

  Velocity  = [tex]\frac{displacement}{time}[/tex]  

So;

      Velocity  = [tex]\frac{12}{0.4}[/tex]   = 30m/s

Two charges separated by one meter exert a 9 N force on each other. If the charges are pushed to a 3 meter separation, the force on each charge will be 3 N.
True or False?

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The formula of force that exists between two charges is expressed as;

F = kq1q2/r²

If two charges separated by one meter exert a 9 N force on each other, the;

9 = kq1q2/1²

9 = kq1q2 ..... 1

If the charges are pushed to a 3 meter separation, then;

F =  kq1q2/3²

F =  kq1q2/9 .... 2

Divide both equations;

9/F = (kq1q2)/ kq1q2/9

9/F =  kq1q2 * 9/ kq1q2

9/F = 9

F = 9/9

F = 1N

Hence if the charges are pushed to a 3 meter separation, then the force on EACH charge will be 1N. Hence the answer is False

A 136 kg defensive lineman is about to tackle a 100 kg quarterback. Right before
impact, the lineman is moving north at 6.0 m/s and the quarterback is moving
north at 1.0 m/s. Determine the speed and direction of the two players
immediately after the tackle.

Answers

Answer:

3.88 m/s North

Explanation:

We are given that

[tex]m_1=136kg[/tex]

[tex]m_2=100 kg[/tex]

[tex]v_1=6 m/s[/tex]

[tex]v_2=1m/s[/tex]

We have to find  the speed and direction of the two players

immediately after the tackle.

Using linear conservation of momentum

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]136\times 6+100\times 1=(136+100)v[/tex]

[tex]916=236v[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{916}{236}[/tex]

[tex]v=3.88m/s[/tex]

Direction of  the two players  immediately after the tackle is North.

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnet?
A. The magnets used to lift metal or cars in a salvage/junk yard
B. the bar magnets we used in the lab
C.the magnets used to hold pictures on a refrigerator or papers on a metal filing cabinet

Answers

Answer:

A. The magnets used to lift metal or cars in a salvage/junk yard

Explanation:

An electromagnet  is defined as a type of magnet which are made up of wires in coil shape. Magnetic field in these wires are produced by electric current.

An example of an electromagnet is magnets used to lift metal or cars in a salvage/junk yard because a crane is used in junkyard to lift metal in which crane is attached to a iron disc and when electricity is off, the disc move downwards and placed near required metal and switch on the electricity when disc reaches on metal or cars to be lifted. This electricity generates magnetism in the iron disc and attract metal or cars from the junkyard.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. The magnets used to lift metal or cars in a salvage/junk yard".

12. In which of the positions shown in the picture, will Joshua have both potential and kinetic energy?​

Answers

Answer:

Answer: D. Only R

Explanation:

The Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy

In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy is conserved. That means that

Em=U+K is constant, being U the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the top of the path (point Q), Joshua is at rest but his height is at a maximum. Thus his kinetic energy is zero.

At point P, Joshua is at the minimum level (potential energy zero) and his speed is at a maximum.

At point R, Joshua has some height and some speed which means he has both types of energy.

Answer: D. Only R

Force (N) = 250
Mass (kg) = 221
Acceleration (m/s^2) = ?

Answers

Answer:

The required acceleration is [tex]a=1.1[/tex] m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 250 NMass m = 221 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

We know that acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a body.

The acceleration can be determined using the formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

where

F is the force m is the mass a is the acceleration

now substituting F = 250 , and m = 221 in the formula

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]250 = 221 (a)[/tex]

switch the equation

[tex]221(a) = 250[/tex]

Divide both sides by 221

[tex]\frac{221a}{221}=\frac{250}{221}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]a=\frac{250}{221}[/tex]

[tex]a=1.1[/tex] m/s²

Therefore, the required acceleration is [tex]a=1.1[/tex] m/s²

A train is traveling at a speed of 100km/hr for 3 hours. It then speeds up to 2 poin
150km/hr for the next 2 hours. How far has the train gone at the end of 5hours

Answers

Answer:

300km

Explanation:

To find the total distance traveled within the given time frame, we need to known that distance is the product speed and time;

  Distance  = Speed x time

For the first lap:

   Distance  = 100km/hr x 3hr = 300km

 

For the second lap;

     Distance  = 150km/hr x 2  = 300km

Distance  = 300km + 300km

So;

Distance = 300km

I NEED HELP ON THISSSSS ITS DUE TOMMOROW PLEASE HELP - IM TAKING THE TEST RIGHT NOW!Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answer.This passage is taken from an eighteenth-century letter from a president to the citizens of the United States of America.(1) So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld.(2) As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils? Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.(3) Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.(4) The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.(5) Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.(6) Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?(7) It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.Which rhetorical device does the author employ to humanize him and minimize the gap between president and citizen?
