It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

miles per hour

If you are driving 72 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 4.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattenti
Ann [662]
We know that speed equals distance between time. Therefore to find the distance we have that d = V * t. Substituting the values d = (72 Km / h) * (1h / 3600s) * (4.0 s) = 0.08Km.Therefore during this inattentive period traveled a distance of 0.08Km

In an experiment, students roll several hoops down the same incline plane. Each hoop has the same mass but a different radius. E
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The graph should have velocity (v) on the y-axis and radius (r) on the x-axis. It will have a straight, horizontal line that goes across the graph.

Explanation:

KE=\frac{1}{2} I(omega)^{2}

Shown above is the formula for Kinetic Energy in rotational terms. I'm new to brain.ly so I couldn't insert the omega symbol, sorry about that. Omega can be replaced with \frac{v^{2} }{r^2}. Moment of Inertia (I) can be replaced with mr^2.

The equation becomes KE=\frac{1}{2} mr^2(\frac{v^2}{r^2} ) .

The r's cancel out, making the different radii negligible, causing a straight horizontal line.

A construction worker accidentally drops a brick from a high scaffold. a. What is the brick's velocity after 4.0 s? b. How far d
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. 39.2 m/s

B. 78.4 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

A. Determination of the brick's velocity.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = gt

v = 4 × 9.8

v = 39.2 m/s

Thus, the brick's velocity after 4 s is 39.2 m/s

B. Determination of how far the brick fall in 4 s.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 4²

h = 4.9 × 16

h = 78.4 m

Thus, the brick fall 78.4 m during the time.

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.
