<span>When t=0, v=0, d=0 When t=tf, v=41m/s, d=3.5m We have 2 formulas – the ones corresponding to uniformly accelerated linear movement: vf=a*t+vo d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t Let’s put the data in the formulas: 41m/s=a*t+0=a*t 3.5m=(1/2)*a*t^2+0*t=1/2*a*t^2 You can use a variety of methods to find t and a. I will choose substitution. t=(41m/s)/a 3.5m=(1/2)*a*((41m/s)/a)^2=(1/2)*a*(41m/s)^2/a^2=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/a a=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/(3.5m)=(1/2)*41^2(m^2/s^2)/(3.5m) a=41^2(m/s^2)/( 2*3.5)=240m/s^2</span>

A driver drives for 30.0 minutes at 80.0 km/h, then 45.0 minutes at 100 km/h. She then stops 30 minutes for lunch. She then trav

Answer:

b) 68,9 km/h a) picture

Explanation:

In this problem, since velocity is expressed in km/h and time in minutes, we have to convert either time to hours or velocity to km/min. It is easier to use hours.

Using this formula we pass time to hours:

t_{hours}=t_{min}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}\\30min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,5h\\45min*\frac{1 h}{60 min}=0,75h

Now we can plot speed vs time (image 1). The problem says that the driver uses constant speed, so all lines have to be horizontal.

Using the values of the speed we calculate the distance in each interval

d=v*t\\80km/h*0.5h=40km\\100km/h*0.75h=75km

Using these values and the fact that she was having lunch in the third one (therefore stayed in the same position), we plot position vs time, using initial position zero (image 2, distance is in km, not meters).

Finally, we compute the average speed with the distance over time:

v_{average}=\frac{155km}{2.25h}=68.9km/h

Why is physics considered to be the basic science?.
Simora [160]

The basic sciences are defined as the scientific disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. They are called basic sciences because they provide a fundamental understanding of natural phenomena and the processes by which natural resources are transformed.

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.
