Answer:

v = 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A man runs 650 m east and then turns and runs 850 m west. This takes him 240 seconds.

Let east is positive and west is negative

Average velocity = total displacement/total time taken

Total displacement = final psoition - initial position

D = -850 - 650 = -1500 m

So,

v=\dfrac{-1500\ m}{240\ s}\\\\v=-6.25\ m/s

So, 6.25 m/s is the average velocity of the man.

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a
sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 225 m in one direction, make a 90° t
Gekata [30.6K]

Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector

<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>

Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,

<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>

Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,

<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )

<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>

The net displacement is

<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃

<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>

and its magnitude is

|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m

You have been called in by your neighborhood safety council to advise them about installing a barrier on a dangerous curve that
Alborosie

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option

Explanation:

1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse

2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt

J is Impulse

f is the force applied during the time Δt

A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)

A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.

Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
