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.

Calculate the average velocity of a motor cycle that travels 72km/hr in<br> 20 seconds
olchik [2.2K]
Velocity =displacement
Change in time
D=72km/hr
Time=20s
But the S.I unit of velocity is m/s so you woul have to change 72km/hr to m/s

Changing 72km to m

1 kilometer=1000meters
Then, 72 kilometers =?

72•1000/1
=72000m

Changing 72hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 3600 seconds
Then 72 hours=?

72•3600/1

=259200 seconds


Velocity =displacement
Change in time

V= 72,000
259,2005
=0.028m/s

The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The moment of inertia is  I = 2.50 \ kg \cdot m^2

    The final  angular speed is w_f =  400 rev/min  =  \frac{400 * 2\pi}{60}  = 41.89 \ rad/s

     The time taken is  t =  8.0 s

      The initial angular speed is  w_i  =  0\ rad/s

Generally the average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

        \alpha  =  \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}

=>     \alpha  =  \frac{41.89}{8}

=>      \alpha  = 5.24 \ rad/s^2

Generally the torque is mathematically represented as

   \tau  =  I  *  \alpha

=>    \tau   =  5.24 *  2.50

=>     \tau   =  13.09 \  N \cdot m
