if a cyclist traveled southwest a distance of 12,250 meters in 1.7 hrs what would the velocity of the cyclist be?

Physics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction.  Speed is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time required for that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

i'll convert 12,250 meters into 12.250 kilometers (km).  Not needed, but it's my preference.  Time is 1.7 hours:

Speed = (12.250 km)/(1.7 hr) = 7.2 km/hr  (to 2 sig figs)

The direction is southwest, or SW

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

Discuss velocity by providing at least one example and explain why velocity is either a scalar or vector quantity.
grandymaker [24]
Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.

Julio blows air across his hot bowl of soup. The tiny ripples he creates are similar to _____.
Allushta [10]

The tiny ripples on the soup are not only similar to wind-generated
waves ... they ARE wind-generated waves.  This is a big part of the
reason why they bear such an uncanny resemblance.

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b)  When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, F_1 = 140 N

let the second force = F_2

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N

F_2 = 280 \ East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N

F_2 = 560 \ West
