A biker pedals with a constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.5m/s over 4.5s. During the period of acceleration, the bike

's displacement is 19m. What was the initial velocity of the bike?

Given:

v(final velocity)= 7.5 m/s

t(time taken to pedal along)=4.5 s

Displacement (s)=19 m

Now we know that

s=ut+1/2(at^2)

Where s is the displacement measured in m

u is the initial velocity measured in m/sec

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2.

t is the time taken to cover this distance.

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

19= 4.5u+1/2(a x 4.5 x 4.5)

20.25 a + 9 u = 38


Now we also know that

v= u + at

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

7.5= u + 4.5a


Solving for u and a from the above equations we get

u = 0.944m/s

a= 1.45 m/s^2

Thus the initial velocity is 0.944 m/s

The arrows in the chart below represent phase transitions.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1, 2, and 3.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this process, since the phase transitions that require energy are those that pass from a state with less energy or more molecular order to a state with more energy or less molecular order, say, from solid to liquid (melting), from liquid to gas (boiling) and from solid to gas (sublimation), we can conclude that the arrows representing heat energy gained are 1, 2, and 3 since 1 represents boiling, 2 melting and 3 sublimation.

Best regards.

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

How many grams of CO2 are in 10 mol of the compound?
Zepler [3.9K]

For our problem, this means that one mole of CO2 has a mass of 44.01 grams. So 22 grams divided by 44.01 grams is roughly 0.5 moles of CO2.


hope it helps

A ball is thrown from ground level so as to just clear wall 4m height at distance 4m from wall and falls 14 m from wall . Veloci
kolbaska11 [484]
Ok, this is a 2d kinematics problem,  the falls 14 m part is confusing, I think it means in the x direction, but you don't need it anyway.

If we know it goes 4m into the air, we know  d = 4m (height of wall), we also know the acceleration a=-9.8m/s^2 (because gravity) and that the vertical velocity when it just clears the wall will be 0 m/s, which we'll call our final velocity (Vf). Using Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2a*d, we can solve this for Vi and drop Vf because it's zero to get: Vi = sqrt(-2ad), plug in numbers (don't forget a is negative) and you get 8.85 m/s in the vertical direction. The x-direction velocity requires that we solve the y-direction for time, using Vf= Vi + at, we solve for t, getting t= -Vi/a, plug in numbers t= -8.85/-9.8 = 0.9 s. Now we can use the simple v = d/t (because x-direction has no acceleration (a=0)), and plug in the distance to the wall and the time it takes to get there v = (4/.9) = 4.444 m/s, this is the velocity in the x direction, we use Pythagoras' theorem to find the total velocity, Vtotal = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2), so Vtotal = sqrt(8.85^2+4.444^2) = 9.9m/s. Yay physics!
