A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 94.5 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed

is 65.1 km/h, how much time is spent on the trip and how far does the person travel?

From the average speed you can fix an equation:

Average speed = distance / time

You know the average speed = 65.1 kg / h, then

65.1 = distance / total time,

where total time is the time traveling plus 22.0 minutes

Call t the time treavelling and pass 22 minutes to hours:

65.1 = distance / [t + 22/60] ==> distance = [t + 22/60]*65.1

 
From the constant speed, you can fix a second equation

Constant speed = distance / time traveling

94.5 = distance / t ==> distance = 94.5 * t

The distance is the same in both equations, then you have:

[t +22/60] * 65.1 = 94.5 t

Now you can solve for t.

65.1t + 22*65.1/60 = 94.5t

94.5t - 65.1t = 22*65.1/60

29.4t = 23.87

t = 23.87 / 29.4

t  = 0.812 hours

distance = 94.5 km/h * 0.812 h = 76.7 km

Answers: 1) 0.81 hours, 2) 76.7 km

A ball is rolling along at speed v without slipping on a horizontal surface when it comes to a hill that rises at a constant ang
MissTica

Answer:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

Explanation:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

This is because:

If we consider the ball initially at rest on a frictionless surface and a force is exerted through the centre of mass of the ball, it will slide across the surface with no rotation, and thus, there will only be translational motion.

Now, if there is friction and force is again applied to the stationary ball, the frictional force will act in the opposite direction to the force but at the edge of the ball that rests on the ground. This friction generates a torque on the ball which starts the rotation.

Therefore, static friction is infact necessary for a ball to begin rolling.

Now, from the top of the ball, it will move at a speed 2v, while the centre of mass of the ball will move at a speed v and lastly, the bottom edge of the ball will instantaneously be at rest. So as the edge touching the ground is stationary, it experiences no friction.

So friction is necessary for a ball to start rolling but once the rolling condition has been met the ball experiences no friction.
