you cover 10 meters in a time of 1 second .Is your speed the same if you cover 20 meters in 2 seconds?

Physics

IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago

Definition:
                 Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

Speed in the first example = (10 meters) / (1 second) = 10 m/s .

Speed in the second example = (20 meters) / (2 seconds) = 10 m/s.

Apparently, it is.  This little exercise demonstrates it.

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as
Lesechka [4]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

<u>Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:</u>

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

<u>Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:</u>

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v                           [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<h3><u>Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

<u>Initial and Final KE:</u>

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

<u>Initial KE:</u>

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²)          [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

<u>Final KE:</u>

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)            

<em>[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]</em>

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

<u>Initial and Final PE:</u>

We know that:

PE = mgh                

<em>[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]</em>

<u>Initial PE:</u>

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

<u>Final PE:</u>

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

<h3><u>Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950         [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having
maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

a crate is being lifted into a truck. if it is moved with a 2470n force and 3650 j of work is done , then how far is the crate b
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The crate was being lifted by a height of 1.48 meters.

Explanation:

In an attempt o move a crate;

Force applied = 2470 N

Work done by the force = 3650 J

We know that the work done is defined as the force used to move an object to a distance.

Given the Force used and the work done by that Force, we need to find out the distance the crate was lifted to.

Work done is defined as:

Work = Force*distance covered in the direction of the force

3650 = 2470*distance

distance = 3650/2470

distance = 1.48 meters
