Complete question:

A dog runs 3 miles east and 4 miles west in 6 hours. What’s the dogs total distance and displacement ?

Answer:

The total distance covered by the dog is 7 miles

The displacement of the dog is 1 mile west

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the dog = 3 miles east

final position of the dog = 4 miles west

time of motion, t = 6 hours

The total distance covered by the dog is given as;

Total distance = 3 miles + 4 miles = 7 miles

The displacement of the dog is given as;

displacement = final position of the dog - initial position of the dog

displacement = 4 miles west - 3 miles east = 1 mile west

<span>As it is descended from a vertical height h, The lost Potential Energy = Mgh The gained Kenetic Energy = (1/2)Mv^2; The rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 The angular speed w = speed/ Radius = v/R So Rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 = (1/2)J(v/R)^2; J is moment of inertia Now Mgh = (1/2)Mv^2 + (1/2)J(v/R)^2 => 2gh/v^2 = 1 + (J/MR^2) As v = (5gh/4)^1/2, (J/MR^2) = 2gh/v^2 - 1 => (J/MR^2) = (8gh/5gh) - 1 so (J/MR^2) = 3/5 and therefore J = (3/5)MR^2.</span>

Where do incident rays that are parallel to the principal axis converge to after reflecting off a concave mirror?

morpeh [17]

Answer:

At focus

Explanation:

A concave mirror is converging in nature. In a mirror, concave in nature, the rays which are parallel to the principal axis are supposed to be coming from very large distances or we assume the source to be placed at infinity for such rays which are parallel to the principal axis.

These rays, parallel to the principal axis, coming from infinity, converges at the focus of the mirror concave in nature after reflecting from the concave mirror

(Another tomato/skyscraper problem.) You are looking out your window in a skyscraper, and again your window is at a height of 45

Ivan

Answer:

1027.2 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{450-\frac{1}{2}\times 32.2\times 2^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow u=192.8\ ft/s$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{192.8^2-0^2}{2\times 32.2}\\\Rightarrow s=577.20\ m$

The height the tomato would fall is 450+577.2 = 1027.2 m

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving

liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J

Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air or moisture?. . A. natural gas.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal
