Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The sum of two vectors is given by :

S = a + b

As we know that vectors have both magnitude and direction. Let us consider that East points in +x axis and west points in -x axis. Let the sum is given by S. So,

S = 15 m + (-9 m)

S = 6 meters

So, the vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 6 m not 24 m. Hence, the given statement is false.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J

Time required to burn the fat

t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s

Distance traveled by the bird

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

Kate is researching air pollution and finds some information on ozone. She knows that ozone is a good thing as part of the ozone
jek_recluse [69]

"At ground level, ozone contributes to smog" so it is also an air pollutant.

Option: A

<u>Explanation</u>:

ozone is naturally present in stratosphere and acts as shield against harmful ultraviolet radiations. But it acts a pollutant contributing to global warming when it is present in lower level atmosphere particularly troposphere. In this level it combines with primary pollutants that is "nitrogen oxides" and "volatile organic" compounds to form secondary pollutant which absorbs outgoing radiation and contributes in raising the temperature. It has harmful impacts on vegetation as well as human health.

Finger [1]
1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.

Th e heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its tem
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Q=1005 J

t= 0.67 sec

Explanation:

Lets take condition of room is 1 atm and 25°C.

Heat capacity ,c = 21 J /K.mol

If we assume that air is ideal gas that

P V = n R T

V= 5.5\times 6.5\times 3\ m^3

V=107.25\ m^3

V=107.25\times 1000 L

V= 107250 L

At STP number of moles given as

n=\dfrac{V}{V_{at\ S.T.P.}}

V=22.4 L at S.T.P.

n=\dfrac{107250}{22.4}\ moles

n=4787.94 moles

n= 4.784 Kmoles

So heat required to raise 10°C temperature

Q = n x c x ΔT

Q = 4.78794 x 21 x 10

Q=1004.64 J

Time t

t= Q/P

P= 1.5 KW

t = 1.004.64 /1.5

t= 0.66 sec
