Answer: D. the wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.
Explanation:
Got it right on edge, hope this helps :)
Since the flower pot is dropped, it has an initial velocity of zero. Also the flower pot accelerates due to gravity.
so
1000 miles = 1610km = 1.61x10^6m
2 weeks = 14 days = 14x24x1440
V=d/t = 1.61x10^6/14x24x1440
= 3.33m/s
Explanation:
Displacement = 5 km
A.
Converting km/h to m/s,
10 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s
= 25/9 m/s
Remember,
700 watt = 700 J/s
Velocity = displacement/time
Time = 5000/(25/9)
= 1800 s
Energy = power * time
= 700 * 1800
= 1,260,000
= 1260 kJ
B.
Converting km/h to m/s,
3 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s
= 5/6 m/s
290 watt = 290 J/s
Velocity = displacement/time
Time = 5000/(5/6)
= 6000 s
Energy = power * time
= 290 * 6000
= 1,740,000
= 1740 kJ
C.
Walking burns more energy; 1,740,000 joules. It burns more because you walk for a greater period of time.
