How much longer (percentage) is a one-mile race than a 1500-m race (""the metric mile"")?

Physics

Zepler [3.9K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1 m = 39.37 in = 3.281 ft

1500 m * 3.281 ft / m = 4922 ft

(5280 - 4922) / 4922 = .073 = 7.3 %

(Note - 1600 m often replaces the 1 mi run)

if you drop a stone from height of 2.5m. what is the speed of the stone right before it hits the ground?
KonstantinChe [14]
Since the stone was dropped from height, its initial velocity = 0 m/s

Using  v² = u² + 2gs.

Where g ≈ 10 m/s²,  u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, s = height from drop = 2.5 m

v² = u² + 2gs

v² = 0² + 2*10*2.5

v² = 0 + 50

v² = 50

v = √50

v ≈ 7.07 m/s

Hence velocity just before hitting the ground is ≈ 7.07 m/s

kkurt [141]

Answer:

t=0.038s

Explanation:

Project mass m=3.8 kg

Initial speed vi= 0m/s

Final speed vf= 9.3×10³ m/s

Force F=9.3×10⁵N

To find

Time t

Solution

From Newtons second law we know that

∑F=ma

Where m is mass

a is acceleration

We can write this equation as

∑F=m(Δv/Δt)

=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

Rearrange this equation to find time t

So

t=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{F}

Substitute the given values

t=3.8kg\frac{9.3*10^3m/s-0}{9.3*10^5N} \\t=0.038s

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
kifflom [539]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.

Is the bike rider in the picture above demonstrating kinetic energy or potential energy? you need to explain your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh
