Emmy is standing on a moving sidewalk that moves at +2 m/s. Suddenly, she realizes she might miss her flight, so begins to speed

up, but then she hears over the PA system that her flight is delayed. Emily's acceleration during the 5 s time period in which all of the events occur is shown in the acceleration versus time graph. In the velocity versus time graph, construct a plot of Emmy's velocity over this same time period. Assuming all the values given are exact, what is Emmy's velocity at a time of 3.49s? Enter your answer to at least three significant digits.

Answer:

Refer to the attachment for the diagram.

3.53 m/s.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the first derivative of velocity relative to time. In other words, the acceleration is the same as the slope (gradient) of the velocity-time graph. Let t represents the time in seconds and v the speed in meters-per-second.

For 0 < x \le 1:

  • Initial value of v: \rm 2\;m\cdot s^{-1} at t = 0; Hence the point on the segment: (0, 2).
  • Slope of the velocity-time graph is the same as acceleration during that period of time: \rm 2\; m\cdot s^{-2}.
  • Find the equation of this segment in slope-point form: v - 2 = 2 (t - 0) \implies v = 2t + 2, \quad 0 < t \le 1.

Similarly, for 1 < x \le 2:

  • Initial value of v is the same as the final value of v in the previous equation at t = 1: t = 2t + 2 = 4; Hence the point on the segment: (1, 4).
  • Slope of the velocity-time graph is the same as acceleration during that period of time: \rm 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}.
  • Find the equation of this segment in slope-point form: v - 4 = (t - 1) \implies v = t + 3 \quad 1 < t \le 2.

For 2 < x \le 3:

  • Initial value of v is the same as the final value of v in the previous equation at t = 2: t = t + 3 = 5; Hence the point on the segment: (2, 5).
  • Slope of the velocity-time graph is the same as acceleration during that period of time: \rm 0\; m\cdot s^{-2}. There's no acceleration. In other words, the velocity is constant.
  • Find the equation of this segment in slope-point form: v - 5 = 0 (t - 2) \implies v = 5 \quad 2 < t \le 3.

For 3 < x \le 4:

  • Initial value of v is the same as the final value of v in the previous equation at t = 3: t = 5; Hence the point on the segment: (3, 5).
  • Slope of the velocity-time graph is the same as acceleration during that period of time: \rm -3\; m\cdot s^{-2}. In other words, the velocity is decreasing.
  • Find the equation of this segment in slope-point form: v - 5 = -3 (t - 3) \implies v = -3t + 14 \quad 3 < t \le 4.

For 4 < x \le 5:

  • Initial value of v is the same as the final value of v in the previous equation at t = 4: t = -3t + 14; Hence the point on the segment: (4, 2).
  • Slope of the velocity-time graph is the same as acceleration during that period of time: \rm 0\; m\cdot s^{-2}. In other words, the velocity is once again constant.
  • Find the equation of this segment in slope-point form: v - 2 = 0 (t - 4) \implies v = 2\quad 4 < t \le 5.

t = \rm 3.49\;s is in the interval 3 < x \le 4. Apply the equation for that interval: v = -3t +14 = \rm 3.53\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

A ball on a string makes 25.0 revolutions in 9.37 s, in a circle radius 0.450 m. What is it’s velocity?
Sauron [17]

The velocity of the ball is 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball is given by the ratio between the distance covered by the ball and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

First, we calculate the distance covered. We know that the radius of the circle is

r = 0.450 m

And the length of the circumference is

L=2\pi r = 2\pi(0.750)=4.7 m

The ball makes 25.0 revolutions, so a total distance of

d=(25.0)L=(25.0)(4.7)=117.5 m

In a time of

t = 9.37 s

So, its velocity is

v=\frac{117.5}{9.37}=12.5 m/s

A nickel (5 cent coin) has a mass of 5.0 g. How many nickels are there in a stack of nickels with a mass of 10.0 kg?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values ​​A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels

What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 kilometers north in 1.5 hours?
swat32

The car's velocity is (distance + direction) / (time) =

                                 (75 km-north) / (1.5 hrs)  =

                                 (75/1.5)  (km-north/hr)  =  50 km/hr  north.

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}, level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}

\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt}  = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}

By replacing all known variables:

\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.
