7 0

Answer:

b) 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

let V be the averare speed of the object.

the average speed is given by:

V = total distance / total time

   = (20+20)/(30+50)

   = 0.5 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the object is 0.5 m/s.

A dumbbell consists of two point-like masses M connected by a massless rod of length 2L. There are no external forces. If the du
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of the dumbbell is:

E_r = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where I is the moments of inertia of the two point-like system

I = 2Mr^2 = 2ML^2

E_r = ML^2\omega^2

The translation kinetic energy is:

E_t = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}M\omega^2L^2

Therefore the ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the translational (linear) kinetic energy is:

\frac{E_r}{E_t} = \frac{ML^2\omega^2}{\frac{1}{2}M\omega^2L^2} = 2

Answer: 1.millimeter 2.meter

Explanation:

a phones thickness can be measured with such a small measurement and a tree is not big enough for a megameter but not small enough for a millimeter so it'd be a meter

Find the change in kinetic energy of a 0.650 kg fish leaping to the right at 15.0 m/s that collides inelastically with a 0.950 k
yaroslaw [1]
The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity  = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
 The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

A flowerpot falls from the ledge of an apartment building. A person in an apartment below, coincidentally holding a stopwatch, n
valkas [14]

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}

u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m
