The average velocity of the beetle is equal to the ratio between the displacement and the time:

$v=\frac{S}{t}$

The displacement of the beetle is

$S=2.55 m-1.09 m=1.46 m$

The time is t=12.8 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

$v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{1.46 m}{12.8 s}=0.11 m/s$

in the positive x-direction.

Which type of energy is released when a bond between atoms is broken

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: gases

Explanation: because gases move around freely and they would be the only one to make sense because solid are compacted together and liquid are not so fast at moving but gases are wild

dont use this this is a bad explanation

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is

Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$x=V_{ox}t$ (2)

$V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt$ (3)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the bomb's final jeight

$y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m$ is the bomb'e initial height

$V_{oy}=0 m/s$ is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

$t$ is the time

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$x$ is the bomb's range

$V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s$ is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

$V_{f}$ is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

$y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (6)

$t=17.49 s$ (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since $V_{oy}=0 m/s$ , equation (3) is written as:

$V_{f}=-gt$ (8)

$V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s)$ (9)

$V_{f}=-171.402 m/s$ (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

$x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s)$ (11)

$x=1700.99 m$ (12)

An electrical power plant manages to send 88% of the heat produced in the burning of fossil fuel into the water-to-steam convers

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the x represent the amount of heat generated from the fossil fuel.

88% of x = 0.88 x

0.88 x was used to convert water to steam.

heat carried by steam = 40% × 0.88 x = 0.352 x

efficiency of the heat -to- work conversion = work output / work input = 0.352 x / x = 0.352 × 100 = 35.2 % which is less than 40 %

The forces in (Figure 1) are acting on a 1.0 kg object.What is ax , the x -component of the object's acceleration

a_sh-v [17]

The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².

<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>

Forces along x axis direction are as follows

4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.

Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.

<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>

As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².
