Answer:

Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs flourished), large shallow seas covered extensive areas of the continents. Data from diverse sources, including geochemical evidence preserved in seafloor sediments, indicate that the Late Cretaceous climate was milder than today's. The days were not too hot, nor the nights too cold. The summers were not too warm, nor the winters too frigid. The shallow seas on the continents probably buffered the temperature of the nearby air, keeping it relatively constant.

Near the surface of the moon, the distance that an object falls is a function of time. It is given by d(t) = 2.6667t2, where t i
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

averaage speed  is  v = 13 feet / s

Explanation:

 The average speed is the ratio of the distance traveled in a given time interval, let's calculate the distance that the body travels in the two instants of time that give us

   

 t = 1 s

       d (1) = 2.6667 1²

       d (1) = 2.6667 feet

 t = 4 s

       d (4) = 2.6667 4²

       d (4) = 42.6672 feet

Let's calculate the speed

       v = Δx / Δt

       v = (42.6672 -2.6667) / (4-1)

       v = 40/3

        v = 13.33335 feet / s

        v = 13 feet / s

Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in a. vectors. b. scalars. c. vectors if multiplied or scalars if divided. d.
klemol [59]
Let A = i+j+k be a vector and B = 3 be any scalar, 
Multiplying A and B, 
AB = (i+j+k)3 = 3i+3j+3k 

Which is a new vector whose direction is same as the old but it's 3 times greater in length  than the old vector(i+j+k).

Now, dividing A and B,
A/B = (i+j+k)/3 = \frac{1}{3}i +  \frac{1}{3}j + \frac{1}{3}k

Which is again a new vector whose direction is same as the old but now it's 1/3 times small in length than the old vector. 

Direction is same because we multiplied by positive scalar. If we multiply A by suppose -1, -4, -1000000 or any negative number, it's direction will reverse. 

Thus, if we multiply a vector with scalar, it's length increases. If we divide, it shrinks.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands,
Elenna [48]

Let u be the initial velocity of the soccer ball at an angle of inclination of \theta_0 with the positive x-axis.

Given that:

\theta_0=45^{\circ}

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile=20 m

Time of flight, t_f=2 seconds

Acceleration due to gravity, g= 10 m/s^2 downward.

As "north" and "up" as the positive x ‑ and y ‑directions, respectively.

So, g= -10 m/s^2

As the acceleration due to gravity is in the vertical direction, so the horizontal component of the initial velocity remains unchanged.

The x-component of the initial velocity, u_x=u\cos\theta_0.

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile = u_x\times t_f

\Rightarrow u_x\times t_f=20

\Rightarrow u_x\times 2=20

\Rightarrow u_x=10 m/s

So, the horizontal component of the velocity is 10 m/s which is constant and the graph has been shown in the figure (i).

Now,  u\cos(45^{\circ})=10 [as u_x=u\cos\theta_0]

\Rightarrow u=10\sqrt{2} m/s.

The vertical component of the initial velocity,

u_y= u\sin\theta_0

\Rightarrow u_y=10\sqrt{2}\sin(45^{\circ})

\Rightarrow u_y=10 m/s

Let v be the vertical component of the velocity at any time instant t.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where u: initial velocity, v: final velocity, a: constant acceleration, and t: time taken to change the velocity from u to v.

In this case, we have u=u_y, a= -10 m/s^2.

So at any time instant, t.

v=u_y+(-10)t

\Rightarrow v=10-10t

The vertical component of the velocity, v, is the function of time and related as v=10-10t.

This is a linear equation.

At 2 second, the vertical component of the velocity

v=10-10x2=-10 m/s.

The graph has been shown in figure (ii).

17. The edges of a rectangular solid have these measures: 1.5 feet by 1½ feet by 3 inches. What is its volume in cubic inches? a
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

c. 972

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular solid is calculated as the product of its dimensions, that is, its width, its length and its height:

V=a*b*h

1 feet is equal to 12 inches, so:

a=1.5ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in\\b=(1+\frac{1}{2})ft\\b=\frac{3}{2}ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in

Now, we calculate the volume of the object in cubic inches:

V=18in*18in*3in\\V=972in^3
