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

Suppose a rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0m/s. What is the rocks speed after 5 secounds, in m/s, if it enc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

A rock is dropped off a cliff.

It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Speed after 5 seconds = V

We know that acceleration = average speed/time

In our case,

g = ((0+V)/2)/5

9.8*5 = V/2

=> V = 2*9.8*5

V = 98 m/s

A man has a mass of 66 kg on the earth. What is his weight.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since force = mass X acceleration, then the force he excerts on the earth (aka his weight) equals his mass times the force of gravity.

Therefore
W = (66 kg) X (9.8 m/ss)
W = 646.8 kgm/ss

kg m/ss are also known as Newtons, so your answer is...

646.8 N

If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right its velocity will to the right
Keith_Richards [23]

The answer would be "velocity will stay in the same direction." Since the ball is going in the same the ball is still going straight but just right. Many people get confused over velocity and speed, speed it the average amount on how fast a object is going and velocity is the amount of force a object has when it has speed. So, in this case since how the ball is going straight but just right it would stay in the same direction.

Hope this helps!
