The turtles average speed during that time was 0.245 meter per second. We have no way to describe its velocity because you haven't told us anything about the direction it crawled.

I think that the velocity is 0.245m per second

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

A block weighing 400 kg rests on a horizontal surface and supports on top of it ,another block of weight 100 kg which is attache
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

F_a=1470\ N

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.  

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0

The friction forces are computed by

\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g

\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Simplifying

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)

Plugging in the values

\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]

\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}

Match the situation with the energy transformation ITEMBANK: Move to Top A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom A chi
Sonbull [250]
A boy shooting a rubber band across the classroom --> 
Elastic potential energy transformed into kinetic energy 
<span>The initial energy is the energy stored in the muscles of the boy's arm, which is elastic potential energy. This is converted into motion of the rubber, therefore kinetic energy

A child going down a slide on a playground --> </span>Gravitational potential energy transformed into kinetic energy 
On top of the slide, all the energy of the child is gravitational potential energy due to its height with respect to the ground (E=mgh). when it moves down the slide, this is converted into kinetic energy, because the child acquires a speed v (E=1/2 mv^2)

Rubbing your hands together to warm them on a cold day --> </span>Kinetic energy being transformed into thermal energy <span>
When rubbing hands, we are moving them (kinetic energy), and this energy raises the temperature of the hand's surface (thermal energy)

Turning on a battery operated light --> </span>
Chemical potential energy transformed into radiant energy <span>
A battery works by mean of chemical reactions (chemical potential energy), producing light (so, emitting energy by radiation, i.e. radiant energy)

Using a dc electric motor --> </span> Electrical energy transformed into kinetic energy<span>
A dc electric motor works using  currents (so, electrical energy), and the energy produced can be used for example to accelerate a car (kinetic energy)

Using a gas power heater to warm a room --> </span>Chemical potential energy transformed into thermal energy 
<span>A gas power heater burns gases (so, chemical reaction, i.e. chemical potential energy) to raise the temperature of the room (thermal energy)

Using a hand crank generator to produce electric current --> Kinetic energy transformed into electrical energy
In a hand-crank generator, the handle is being rotated (kinetic energy) in order to produce an electric current (electrical energy)

Using the light in your room that is plugged into the wall --> </span>Electrical energy transformed into radiant energy  
<span>The lamp works by using electrical current flowing into a resistor (electrical energy) and it produces light, so it emits energy by electromagnetic radiation (radiant energy)
