Which option is a scientifically accurate description of velocity? A. The golf pro missed the shot even though the ball was only one meter away from the cup.
B.With just two second left on the clock, the basketball player moved quickly down the court to sink the ball in the basket.
C.The skier traveled downhill along the 80-meter track to the finish line in just 3.5 seconds to win the competition.
D. After traveling at 120 kph for the entire 30-minute race, the racecar driver ended the race at the same point she started.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Choice-C is the closest to being a description of velocity,
but I also have problems with 'C'. 

In order to describe velocity, you need a speed and its direction.

'A' doesn't state either one.

'B' says "quickly", which I don't accept as a speed, and "down the court",
which I don't accept as a direction. 

'D' nicely describes the speed ... 120 kph.  But the only thing it
tells us about direction is that it must have changed during the
race, because that's the only way the driver could have ended
the race in the same place she started it from.

'C' gives us the skier's speed ... (80 meters) / (3.5 sec)  =  22.86 m/s .
It also tells us that his direction was always downhill and along the track.
I would have preferred a better description of the direction, but I can
have it if I'm willing to go there and measure the direction of the track
and the slope of the hill.  So it's all there in this choice, but you have to
dig for it.

Jose wandered 4 kilometers at 2 kilometers per hour. How long did Jose wander?

Answers

Jose wandered for 2 hour with speed at 2 kilometers per hour.

What is speed?

The speed of an item, which is a scalar quantity in everyday usage and kinematics, is the size of the change in that object's position over time or the size of the change in that object's position per unit of time.

The instantaneous speed is the upper limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. The average speed of an item in a period of time is equal to the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the period.

Given parameters:

Distancetravelled by Jose = 4 kilometer.

Speed of Jose = 2 kilometers per hour.

Now from definition of speed:

Total time taken = Distance travelled by Jose ÷ Speed of Jose

= 4 kilometer ÷ 2 kilometers per hour.

= 2 hour.

Hence,  Jose wandered for 2 hour.

What are the four most common gases in dry air?

Answers

The four most common gases in dry air are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.

The four most common gases in dry air are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.

Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in dry air, making up about 78.6% of the air.

Oxygen is the second most abundant gas, accounting for approximately 20.9% of the air.

Carbon dioxide is present in small amounts, around 0.04%, but it plays an important role in the Earth's carbon cycle and climate. Water vapor, despite being a variable component, can make up around 0.5% of the air.

Who gave us close up views of the gas giants and showed us their moons

Answers

Hi there!

The spacecraft widely known for it's beautiful images of the gas giants and its moons is the Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 & 2). The Voyagers took advantage of a rare opportunity in which all the gas giant planets were aligned that allowed them to get a gravity assist from each planet allowing for extremely close pictures and extremely high speeds on the spacecraft. 

A light shines up from the bottom of a fish pond.Which diagram shows the correct path of light as it leaves the water of the pond and hits the air?

Answers

For the question "A light shines up from the bottom of a fish pond. Which diagram shows the correct path of light as it leaves the water of the pond and hits the air?" The second diagram is the correct answer. Water has a higher refractive index than air so the ray of light passing from water to air will be refracted away from the normal (the vertical) towards the surface of the water.

A man is trying to drag a small tree that he cut down. If the static coefficientof friction of the tree on the ground is 0.5 and the tree weighs 480 N, what is
the minimum amount of horizontal force that the man will need to apply so
that the tree will start moving?

A. 240 N
B. 360 N
C. 480 N
D. 120 N

Answers

Answer:

120 N

Explanation: First we shoud consider the forces acted on a tree

Friction foce - acting opposite to the moving direction

Weight - Directly acting downwards

Reaction - Directly acting on upwards

For minimum required force should be equal to the friction force

F = μ R

F = 0.5×480

= 120N

If you are following a car and also being tailgated by another vehicle, your best option would be to.. a. Increase the following distance between you and the car in front of you b. Slam on your breaks immediately c. Speed up to increase the space between you and the tailgating car d. Slowly and steadily apply your breaks

Answers

Answer:

D. Slowly and steadily apply your breaks.

Explanation:

When a person is being tailgated by another vehicle there's a risk of accident, due to the difference of speeds. When someone is being tailgated by another vehicle, it's because they vehicle doesn't work, cannot move by itself, so one vehicle impulse another.

To avoid any accident, the vehicle that's being tailgated must apply breaks often and slowly to try to maintain the same constant distance and speed than the other vehicle. This constant distance is what avoid accidents.

Therefore, the right answer is D.

Answer:

Your answer here is D

Explanation:

Slowly pressing your breaks will help ensure you are not hit by the other car. If they hit you its their fault. Hope this helps :)!
