Alyse runs to her classroom which is 20 meters away. She forgets her physics book in her locker and must return 20 meters in the

direction from whence she came. If her total trip takes 3 minutes, what is Alyse’s average velocity? NEED HELPP ASAPPPP!!!!!

The average velocity of Alyse is 0 m/s.

<h3>What is the average velocity of an object or a person?</h3>

The average velocity of a person is the average of all the velocities of moving as it moves.

Velocity on its own is the ratio of the displacement of a body and the time taken for that displacement.

Mathematically:

  • Average velocity = total displacement / time taken

Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the distance traveled by a moving body in a specific direction.

Hence, average velocity and velocity are both vector quantities.

Displacement takes a measure of the shortest possible distance along a straight line from the beginning of the motion until the end of the motion.

Calculating the average velocity of Alyse:

Assuming the initial direction is positive and n=backeard direction is negative:

Total displacement = 20 m + - (20 m)

Total displacement = 0 m

total time = 3 minutes

Average velocity = 0 m/ 3

Average velocity = 0 m/s

How do I do this physics problem about potential energy and kinetic energy?
larisa86 [58]

Ok i apologise for the messy working but I'll try and explain my attempt at logic

Also note i ignore any air resistance for this.

First i wrote the two equations I'd most likely need for this situation, the kinetic energy equation and the potential energy equation.

Because the energy right at the top of the swing motion is equal to the energy right in the "bottom" of the swing's motion (due to conservation of energy), i made the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy as indicated by Ek = Ep.

I also noted the "initial" and "final" height of the swing with hi and hf respectively.

So initially looking at this i thought, what the heck, there's no mass. Then i figured that using the conservation of energy law i could take the mass value from the Ek equation and use it in the Ep equation. So what i did was take the Ek equation and rearranged it for m as you can hopefully see. Then i substituted the rearranged Ek equation into the Ep equation.

So then the equation reads something like Ep = (rearranged Ek equation for m) × g (which is -9.81) × change in height (hf - hi).

Then i simplify the equation a little. When i multiply both sides by v^2 i can clearly see that there is one E on each side (at that stage i don't need to clarify which type of energy it is because Ek = Ep so they're just the same anyway). So i just canceled them out and square rooted both sides.

The answer i got was that the max velocity would be 4.85m/s 3sf, assuming no losses (eg energy lost to friction).

I do hope I'm right and i suppose it's better than a blank piece of paper good luck my dude xx

What equation gives the position at a specific time for an object with constant acceleration? 
malfutka [58]
Given constant acceleration, we can get the final position of an object in terms of both its initial velocity and its acceleration using one of the equations of motion.

The equation that we will use is:
Xf = Xi +  Vi*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
where:
Xf is the final position of the object
Xi is the initial position of the object
Vi is the initial velocity of the object
t is the time
a is the constant given acceleration
