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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is :

v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by

$v^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ ) ........................................................ i

And,

v = $\frac{1}{2}$ v (max)

or, 2 × v = Aω .................................................... ii

Eliminating ω from equations i and ii,

$\frac{1}{4}$ $A^{2}$ $w^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ )

or, $y^{2}$ = ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $A^{2}$ =( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $2.18^{2}$

or, y = 3.56 cm.

How does wood and plastic relate to forces

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

There are six kinds of forces that act on objects when they come into contact with one another: Normal force, applied force, frictional force, tension force, spring force and resisting force. These forces make objects change their motion or movement , the act of going from one place to another.

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

$m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m=5.7$ is the slope of the line

$Y_{1}=2390.7pounds$ is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

$X_{1}=51gallons$ is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)
