An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 1.90 ­m/s² for 6.60 s then travels at that constant velocity for anot

her 8.50 s. What is the magnitude of the object's average velocity over the 15.1 s interval?

Answer:

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the displacement of the object divided by the time it takes the object to do that displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the final position of the object and the initial position. <u>In this problem</u>, the displacement is equal to the traveled distance because the object travels only in one direction:

a.v = Δx/t

Where:

a.v = average velocity.

Δx = displacement = final position - initial position

t = time

So, let's find the distance traveled while the object was accelerating. For that, we will use this equation:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

In this case, since the object is initially at rest, v0 = 0. If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts moving, then x0 = 0. So, the equation of the position of the object after a time t will be:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 1.90 m/s² · (6.60 s)²

x = 41.4 m

The object traveled 41.4 m during the first 6.60 s.

Now, let's find the rest of the traveled distance.

When the velocity is constant, a = 0. Then, the equation of position will be:

x = x0 + v · t

Let's place now the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts traveling at constant velocity so that x0 = 0:

x = v · t

The velocity reached by the object during the acceleration phase is calculated as follows:

v = v0 + a · t   (v0 = 0 because the object started from rest)

v = 1.90 m/s² · 6.60 s

v = 12.5 m/s

Then, the distance traveled by the object at a constant velocity will be:

x = 12.5 m/s · 8.50 s

x = 106 m

The total traveled distance in 15.1 s is (106 m + 41.4 m) 147 m.

Then the displacement will be:

Δx = final position - initial position

Δx = 147 m - 0 = 147 m

and the average velocity will be:

a.v = Δx/t

a.v = 147 m / 15.1 s

a.v = 9.74 m/s

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).

The movement of particles from high to low concentration. True or False
Digiron [165]

Question:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration. True or False

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process that allows the movement of substance or particles in and out of cells through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion is a process that allows the spread or movement of particles from the region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Diffusion only occurs in gases and solution but not in solids, it also occurs only where particles can move freely.

Note: When particles move from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration, it gives room for even, uniform and random distribution of particles.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into  Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.
