Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}

Putting the values, we get :

v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
 Then, you must write the position vector:
 r = -3j + 4i + 3j
 Rewriting
 r = 4i
 To go back to where you started, you must go
 d = -4i
 That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
 Answer
 West, 4km.

A cyclist maintains a constant velocity of 6.1 m/s headed away from point A. At some initial time, the cyclist is 242 m from poi
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

553.1m

Explanation:

When an object moves at constant velocity we can express this movement like V=x/t, where V is the velocity, x is the displacement and t is the time spent on it.

In that way, the expression x=V.t give us the displacement from t=0s until t=51s, but we have to sum the initial distance from the point A.

x=242m +V.t = 242m + (6.1m/s x 51s) = 553.1m

What is the amount of electric field passing through a surface called? A. Electric flux.B. Gauss’s law.C. Electricity.D. Charge
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. Electric flux

Explanation:

Electric flux is the rate of flow of the electric field through a given area (see ). Electric flux is proportional to the number of electric field lines going through a virtual surface.

Electric flux has SI units of volt metres (V m), or, equivalently, newton metres squared per coulomb (N m2 C−1). Thus, the SI base units of electric flux are kg·m3·s−3·A−1.
