A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car

rier returned the truck and recorded the mileage at 31,713 miles. What was the average velocity of the mail truck? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: $32.77\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Given

Initially Reading on the odometer is $31,500\ miles$

Final reading on the odometer is $31,713\ miles$

Time taken is $t=6.5\ hr$

average velocity $=\dfrac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{time}}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{31713-31500}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{213}{6.5}$

$v_{avg}=32.77\ mi/hr$

Thus the average velocity of mail truck is $32.77\ mi/hr$

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Explanation:

We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:

The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.

The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.

Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

$x=A\cos(\omega t)$

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\omega t)$

or

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

slader Question: A Model Rocket Is Launched Straight Upward With An Initial Speed Of 50m/s. Iit Accelerates With A Constant Upwa

xenn [34]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the rocket is

$y_{max} = 308 m$

total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 16.44 s$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket is given as

$v_i = 50 m/s$

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

engine stops at height h = 150 m

so the final speed of the rocket at this height is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)$

$v_f = 55.68 m/s$

so maximum height reached by the rocket is given as the height where its final speed becomes zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 55.68^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 150)$

$y_{max} = 308 m$

Now the total time of the motion of rocket is given as

1) time to reach the height of 150 m

$v_f - v_i = at$

$55.68 - 50 = 2 t$

$t_1 = 2.84 s$

2) time to reach ground from this height

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$-150 = 55.68 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t_2 = 13.6 s$

so total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 13.6 + 2.84 = 16.44 s$

Which types of questions can most likely be answered through a scientific investigation?

Sindrei [870]

Subjective questions can be answered most likely through well-designed scientific investigations. Investigating peoples opinions or favorites does not involve any scientific investigations.

<h3>What are scientific investigation?</h3>

Scientific investigations include study on different natural phenomenon through well designed research methodologies. They include a preliminary hypothesis based on observations and various scientific records helps for reference.

Through well designed scientific experiments we can solve subjective questions and can be helpful in solving different environmental or social issues.

Peoples opinion or objective types questions are not targeted at scientific investigation, hence, option b is correct.
