Lindsey started biking to the park traveling 15 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so Lindsey walked the rest of the way,
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Lindsey biked 45 miles for 3 hours at 15 mph and walked 8 miles for 2 hours at 4 mph.

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Lindsey biked through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours

Then, the rest of the distance that she walked is (53 - x) miles

And the time she spent walking that distance = (5 - t) hours

Her biking speed = 15 mph = 15 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

15 = x/t

x = 15 t (eqn 1)

Her walking speed = 4 mph = 4 miles/hour

4 = (53 - x)/(5 - t)

53 - x = 4 (5 - t)

53 - x = 20 - 4t (eqn 2)

Substitute for X in (eqn 2)

53 - 15t = 20 - 4t

15t - 4t = 53 - 20

11t = 33

t = 3 hours

x = 15t = 15 × 3 = 45 miles.

(53 - x) = 53 - 45 = 8 miles

(5 - t) = 5 - 3 = 2 hours

So, it becomes evident that Lindsey biked 45 miles for 3 hours at 15 mph and walked 8 miles for 2 hours at 4 mph.

Why would machine-operated stopwatches be used at sports events instead of hand-operated stopwatches?
Pie
Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.

A force of 12 N changes the momentum of a toy car from 3kgm/s t0 10kgm/s. Calculate the time the force took to produce this chan
yan [13]

Answer:

Time = 0.58 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial momentum = 3 kgm/s

Final momentum = 10 kgm/s

Force = 12 N

To find the time required for the change in momentum;

First of all, we would determine the change in momentum.

Change \; in \; momentum = final \; momentum - initial \; momentum

Change \; in \; momentum = 10 - 3

Change in momentum = 7 kgm/s

Now, we can find the time required;

Note: the impulse of an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.

Mathematically, impulse (change in momentum) is given by the formula;

Impulse = force * time

Making "time" the subject of formula, we have;

Time = \frac {impulse}{force}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Time = \frac {7}{12}

Time = 0.58 seconds

A baseball is hit that just goes over a wall that is 45.4m high. If the baseball is traveling at 46.2 m/s at an angle of 32.7° b
mario62 [17]

Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees
