After 5 seconds, the person would have travel 75 m

<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>

This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as

a = (v – u) / t

Where

  • a is the acceleration
  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time

<h3>How to determine the final velocity</h3>

We'll begin by obtaining the final velocity of the person. This can be obtained as follow:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 5 s
  • Final velocity (v) = ?

a = (v – u) / t

2 = (v – 10) / 5

Cross multiply

v – 10 = 2 × 5

v – 10 = 10

Collect like terms

v = 10 + 10

v = 20 m/s

<h3>How to determine the distance travelled</h3>

The distance travelled can be obtained as follow:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
  • Distance (s) = ?

v² = u² + 2as

Collect like terms

2as = v² - u²

Divide both sides by 2a

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (20² - 10²) / (2 × 2)

s = 75 m

Thus, the distance travelled by the person is 75 m

An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we shall find the velocity at equilibrium point of mass 1.2 kg .

It will be ω A , where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

ω = √ ( k / m )

= √ (170 / 1.2 )

= 11.90 rad /s

amplitude A = .045 m

velocity at middle point ( maximum velocity ) = 11.9 x .045 m /s

= .5355 m /s

At middle point , no force acts so we can apply law of conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v

1.2 x .5355 = ( 1.2 + .48 ) x v

v = .3825 m /s

= 38.25 cm /s

Let new amplitude be A₁ .

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x v² = 170 x A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x .3825² = 170 x A₁²

A₁ = .0379 m

New amplitude is .0379 m

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) 1450watts

b) 564watts

c) 1.11

Explanation:

Power consumed = IV

I is the current rating

V is the operating voltage

If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;

a) For blow-dryer

Operating voltage = 120V

Its current rating = 12A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×12

= 1440watts

b) For vacuum cleaner:

Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V

Its current rating = 4.7A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×4.7

= 564watts

c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken

Energy used = Power × time

Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60

= 1,728,000Joules

Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60

= 564×2760

= 1,556,640Joules

Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11
