An airplane traveling from San Francisco northeast to Chicago travels 1260 km in 3.5 h. What is the airplanes average velocity?

Answer:

Average velocity = 360km/h due Northeast.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1260km

Time = 3.5h.

Velocity =?

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

V = \frac{d}{t}

Substituting into the above equation;

V = \frac{1260}{3.5}

Velocity, V = 360km/h.

Since velocity is a vector quantity, it must have both magnitude and direction.

<em>Hence, the average velocity of the airplane is 360km/h due Northeast. </em>

Answer:

C , E , A , D , B

Explanation:

We evaluate the accelerations for each case, using the formula: a = (vf - vi) / t

A)  a = (10.3 - 0.5 ) / 1 = 9.8 m/s^2  --> magnitude: 9.8 m/s^2

B)  a = (0 - 20) / 1 = - 20 m/s^2  -->  magnitude : 20 m/s^2

C)  a = (0.02 - 0.004) / 1 = 0.016 m/s^2 -->  magnitude : 0.016  m/s^2

D)  a = (4.3 - 0) / 0.4 = 10.75 m/s^2  -->  magnitude : 10.75 m/s^2

E)  a = (1 - 2) / 8.3 = - 0.12 m/s^2  -->  magnitude: 0.12 m/s^2

Then, comparing magnitudes from least to greatest:

C , E , A , D , B

An object falls freely from rest on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is it is on Earth. In the first 5 seconds it

Answer:

A. The object falls a distance of 250 m

Explanation:

Hi there!

In the question, you have forgotten the acceleration due to gravity. However, looking on the web I´ve found a very similar problem in which the acceleration due to gravity was as twice as much as it is on Earth.

The equation of height of a falling object is the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the object after a time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (on Earth: ≅ -10 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Let´s place the origin of the system of reference at the point where the object is released so that y0 = 0. Since the object falls from rest, v0 = 0.

Then, the height of the object after 5 s will be :

y = 1/2 · 2 · g · t²    (notice that the acceleration due to gravity is 2 · g)

y = g · t²

y = -10 m/s² · (5 s)²

y = -250 m

The object falls a distance of 250 m.
