A runner starts at position zero and moves in one direction to position 12m 3. What is the distance traveled by the runner?

Physics

<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign.  Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

Suppose a free-fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. What is the velocity of the ride after 2.3 s?
horsena [70]

Answer:

V = a * t = 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.3 s = 22.5 m/s   velocity after 2.3 s

S = 1/2 g t^2      since initial speed is zero

S = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.29 s^2 = 25.9 m

A wheel 1.0 m in radius rotates with an angular acceleration of 4.0rad/s2 . (a) If the wheel’s initial angular velocity is 2.0 r
Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) ωf= 42 rad/s

(b) θ = 220 rad

(c) at = 4 m/s²  ,  v = 42 m/s

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement,  is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

There is tangential acceleration (at ) and is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf= ω₀ + α*t  Formula (1)

θ=  ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t²  Formula (2)

at = α*R  Formula (3)

v= ω*R  Formula (4)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular velocity ( rad/s)

ωf: final angular velocity ( rad/s)

R : radius of the circular path (cm)

at : tangential acceleration (m/s²)

v : tangential speed (m/s)

Data

α = 4.0 rad/s² : wheel’s angular acceleration

t = 10 s

ω₀ = 2.0 rad/s  : wheel’s initial angular velocity

R = 1.0 m  : wheel’s radium

(a)  Wheel’s angular velocity after 10 s

We replace data in the formula (1):

ωf= ω₀ + α*t

ωf= 2 + (4)*(10)

ωf= 42 rad/s

(b) Angle that rotates the wheel in the 10 s interval

We replace data in the formula (2):

θ=  ω₀*t + (1/2)*α*t²

θ=  (2)*(10) + (1/2)*(4)*(10)²

θ=  220 rad  

θ=  220 rad  

(c) Tangential speed and acceleration of a point on the rim of the wheel at the end of the 10-s interval

We replace data in the Formula (3)

at = α*R = (4)(1)

at = 4 m/s²

We replace data in the Formula (4)

v= ω*R = (42)*(1)

v = 42 m/s

Mrac [35]

Answer:

50 N/m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = kinetic energy

EE = KE

½ kx² = ½ mv²

½ k (4 m)² = ½ (8.0 kg) (10.0 m/s)²

k = 50 N/m
