A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I

t takes the figure skater 2 seconds to increase her speed from 4 m/s to 5.3 m/s. What is the acceleration of the skater? (2 points) c. The skater is moving at a speed of 13 m/s when she starts to brake. She comes to a stop after traveling a distance of 8 m. What was her acceleration? (2 points)

(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
v_i = 4 m/s
while the final speed is
v_f = 5.3 m/s
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2

(c) The initial speed of the skater is 
v_i = 13.0 m/s
while the final speed is 
v_f=0
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2
from which we find
a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A bat exerts a force of 18,400 N on the ball. What is the acceleration of the ball?
amid [387]

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m

If a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

110.87 dB

Explanation:

(I got it right on Acellus)

I= P/4(pi)r^2 = 60/4(pi)6.25^2

60/4(pi)6.25^2=0.12223

B=10log(I/Io)

B=10log(0.12223/1*10^-12) = 110.87 dB
