Reading the graph, you get 300 km in 4 hours.

Givens

d = 300 km
t = 4 hours

Formula

v = d/t

Solution

v = 300/4 = 75 km/hour which is the slope.

Comment

Any point that you can read accurately will give you the same answer. Since the point are not that readable, you can estimate one of them

Try

t = 6 hours

d = 450 km An estimate. It looks to be 1/2 way between 400 and 500 km when t = 6 hours.

v = ??

v = 450/6

v = 75 miles / hour << Answer

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

$Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2$

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25$

and maximum height is

$y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2$

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?

timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The Drag Force equation is:

$F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{D}$ is the Drag Force

$C_{D}$ is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (air in this case)

$A_{D}$ is the transversal area of the body or object

$V$ the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume $C_{D}$ , $\rho$ and $A_{D}$ do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

$F_{D}=C.V^{2}$ (2)

Where $C$ groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity $V_{n}$ , which is the double of the former velocity:

$V_{n}=2V$ (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

$F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}$

$F_{D}=4CV^{2}$ (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.

A ball with a mass of 170 g which contains 3.80×108 excess electrons is dropped into a vertical shaft with a height of 145 m . A

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. F=6.65*10^{-10}N

B. south - north

Explanation:

A) We use the Lorentz force

F = qv X B

|F| = qvB

to calculate the magnitude of the force we need the speed of the of the ball.

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2gy\\v_{f}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(145m)}=53.31\frac{m}{s}$

and by replacing in the formula for the magnitude of the force we have (taking into account the excess of electrons)

$F=(3.8*10^{8})(1.602*10^{-19}C)(53.31\frac{m}{s})(0.205T)=6.65*10^{-10}N$

b. south - north (by the rigth hand rule)

I hope this is usefull for you

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J

But ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.
