From the attached graph, we can see that:
Xena's velocity is equal to 8 m/sec

velocity = distance / time
Therefore,
time = distance / velocity

We want the distance to be 60 m and we have the velocity = 8 m/sec
substitute in the equation to get the time as follows:
time = 60/8 = 7.5 seconds

This means that Xena would need 7.5 seconds to catch Gabriele

A squirrel in a tree drops an acorn. how long does it take the acorn to fall 20 feet?
mart [117]

We use the equation of motion,

S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Here, S is the height, u is initial velocity and a is acceleration.

Given, S = 20 \ ft S = 20 \ ft = 20 \times\frac{1 \ m}{3.2808399 ft}  = 6.096 \ m

As  acorn falls from tree, therefore we take the value of a = 9.8 \ m/s^2 and initial velocity u = 0.

Substituting these values in equation of motion,

6.096 \ m = 0 \times t +\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 m/s^2 (t)^2 \\\\\ t = 1.12 \ s

Thus, the time taken by the acorn to fall 20  feet ( 6.096 m ) is 1.12 s.

A stone falls from rest from the top of a cliff. A second stone is thrown downward from the same height 2.7 s later with an init
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:4.05 s

Explanation:

Given

First stone is drop from cliff and second stone is thrown with a speed of 52.92 m/s after 2.7 s

Both hit the ground at the same time

Let h be the height of cliff and it reaches after time t

h=\frac{gt^2}{2}

For second stone

h=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}---2

Equating 1 &2 we get

\frac{gt^2}{2}=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}

\frac{g}{2}\left ( t-t+2.7\right )\left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0

13.23\times \left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0

26.46t-35.721-52.92t+142.884=0

t=4.05 s

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

AURORKA [14]

Answer: a) 0.12m; b) 1,6 s; c) 0.625 1/s

Explanation: The simple harmonic movement can be described by a sin or cosine function  in time.

This can be in the form:

X(t)= A Sin/Cos (wt+φ) where φ is initial phase o position at t=0

w the angular frequency are related to the frequency (f) as 2Pif

When 0.1523 g of liquid pentane (CH) combusts in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 23.7C to 29.8 C. What is U for t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

U for the reaction is 15,048.58 kJ/mol of pentane.

Explanation:

Quantity of heat required = heat capacity of bomb calorimeter × temperature rise = 5.23 kJ/C × (29.8 C - 23.7 C) = 5.23 kJ/C × 6.1 C = 31.903 kJ

Moles of pentane = mass/MW

Mass = 0.1523 g

MW of pentane (C5H12) = 72 g/mol

Moles of pentane = 0.1523/72 = 0.00212 mol

U for the reaction = quantity of heat required ÷ moles of pentane = 31.903 kJ ÷ 0.00212 mol = 15,048.58 kJ/mol
