5. A family leaves for an evening walk around the neighborhood. They leave at 5 pm and return at 6 pm. They traveled a total of

2.5 miles. What is their average speed?
Physics

vlabodo [156]2 years ago

This question involves the concepts of average speed, distance, and time.

The average speed of the family is "2.5 mi/hr".

<h3>AVERAGE SPEED</h3>

The average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance covered with the total time taken to cover it.

v=\frac{s}{t}

where,

  • s = distance covered = 2.5 miles
  • t = total time taken = 1 hour
  • v = average speed = ?

Therefore,

v=\frac{2.5\ mi}{1\ hr}

v = 2.5 mi/hr

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                             V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)

                             V^{2} = 24.5 m/s

                             V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s

                             V = 4.95 \ m/s

                            V = ± 4.95 m/s

                            V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is  V = - 4.95 m/s  

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s  

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                            0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)

                            0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s

                            U^{2} = 16.072 m/s

                            U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s

                           U = ± 4.01 m/s

                          U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is  U = + 4.01 m/s                        

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

                            F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

                          F.t = m(v - u)

       ⇒      Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,                        

          ∴          F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s - (-4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s + 4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg × 8.96  m/s

                      Impulse  = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

find the period of a simple pendulum of 1m length placed on earth and on moon g on moon =1.67m/s² g on earth=10m/s²
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

T_{m } = 4.86 s

T_{e} = 1.98 s

Explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

Length = l = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity of moon = g_{m} = 1.67 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of Earth = g_{e} = 10 m/s²

<u><em>Required:</em></u>

Time period = T = ?

<u><em>Formula:</em></u>

T = 2π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

<u>For moon</u>

<em>Putting the givens,</em>

T = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{1}{1.67} }

T = 6.3 \sqrt{0.6}

T = 6.3 × 0.77

T = 4.86 sec

<u>For Earth,</u>

<em>Putting the givens</em>

T = 2π \sqrt{\frac{1}{10} }

T = 2(3.14) \sqrt{0.1}

T = 6.3 × 0.32

T = 1.98 sec

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
