Explanation:

Displacement is simply the change in position.  So in the first part of problem 1, looking at the graph between 0 s and 2 s, the position changes from 0 m to -4 m.  So the displacement is:

Δx =  -4 m − 0 m

Δx = -4 m

Between 2 s and 4 s, the position stays at -4 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = -4 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 0 m

Finally, between 4 s and 6 s, the position goes from -4 m to 6 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = 6 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 10 m

The net displacement is the change in position from 0 s to 6 s:

Δx = 6 m − 0 m

Δx = 6 m

In the second part of problem 1, we have a velocity vs time graph.

Car 1 starts with 0 velocity and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s, so it is accelerating and constantly moving to the right.

Car 2 starts with a velocity of -6 m/s and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s.  It is also accelerating, but first it is moving to the left, comes to a stop at t = 3 s, then moves to the right.

Car 3 starts with a velocity of 2 m/s and ends with a velocity of 2 m/s.  So it is moving constantly to the right, but never speeds up or slows down.

We want to know when two of the cars meet.  Unfortunately, this isn't as easy as looking for where the lines cross on the graph.  We need to calculate their displacements.  We can do this by finding the area under the graph (assuming all the cars start from the same point).

Let's start with Car 2.  Half of the area is below the x-axis, and half is above.  Without doing calculations, we can say the total displacement for this car is 0.  This means it ends back up where it started, and that it never meets either of the other cars, both of which have positive displacements.

So we know Car 1 and Car 3 meet, we just have to find where and when.  For Car 1, the area under the curve is a triangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = ½ t v(t)

where t is the time and v(t) is the velocity of Car 1 at that time.  Since the line has a slope of 1 and y intercept of 0, we know v(t) = t.  So:

Δx = ½ t²

Now look at Car 3.  The area under the curve is a rectangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = 2t

When the two cars have the same displacement:

½ t² = 2t

t² = 4t

t² − 4t = 0

t (t − 4) = 0

t = 0, 4

t = 0 refers to the time when both cars are at the starting point, so t = 4 is the answer we're looking for.  Where are the cars at this time?  Simply plug in t = 4 into either of the equations we found:

Δx = 8

So Cars 1 and 3 meet at 4 s and 8 m.

Sand is pouring out of a pipe and is forming a conical pile on the ground. The radius of the pile is increasing at a rate of 2 f
Anton [14]

Answer:

a)\ V=3053.628059 \ ft^3

b)\ V'=1017.876\ ft^3/day

Explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

The volume of a cone of radius r and height h is given by

\displaystyle V=\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}

The height is said to be 1/2 of the radius, thus

\displaystyle V=\frac{\pi r^2\cdot r}{2\cdot 3}

\displaystyle V=\frac{\pi r^3}{6}

a) Knowing r=18 feet, the volume is

\displaystyle V=\frac{\pi 18^3}{6}

V=3053.628059 \ ft^3

b) The rate of change of the volume is computed by taking the derivative of both sides respect to the time

\displaystyle V'=3\frac{\pi r^2}{6}r'

\displaystyle V'=\frac{\pi r^2}{2}r'

Where r' is the given rate of change of the radius: 2 feet/day.

Now we compute

\displaystyle V'=\frac{\pi 18^2}{2}\cdot 2=1017.876

\boxed{V'=1017.876\ ft^3/day}

What is the weight in Newtons of a ball with a mass of 7.77 kg?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

76.1N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 7.77kg

Unknow:

Weight of balloon  = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force applied on a body.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due gravity

So;

  Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

 Weight  = 7.77 x 9.8  = 76.1N

The linear impulse delivered by the hit of a boxer is 202 N · s during the 0.244 s of contact. What is the magnitude of the aver
zlopas [31]

Answer: Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).

Explanation: Impulse is defined as the force acting on an object for a short period or interval of time.

Mathematically it is given by the relation:

Impulse = Force \times Time

According to the numerical values given in the question, I = 202 Ns and T = 0.244 s

So, Force F = \frac{Impulse}{Time} = \frac{202}{0.244} = 827.86 N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the glove by the other boxer is 827.86 N (approximately 828 N).

Hydrogen fluoride gas (HF) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react in a test tube. They form water and sodium fluoride (NaF). Which ty
solmaris [256]
The type of reaction that occurred in the test tube is ACID BASE REACTION.
Acid base reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to form salt and water molecules. It is also known as neutralization reaction. For the question given above, the applicable chemical reaction is as follows:
HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O
 From this chemical reaction, it can be seen that, hydrogen fluoride, which is a weak acid react with sodium hydroxide which is a strong base to produce sodium fluoride, which is a salt and a molecule of water.
