Micha ran 2 miles north in 20 minutes. She then turned back and ran 1 mile in 15 minutes. To cool down, she walked the rest of t

he way home. It took her 20 minutes.
What was Micha's average velocity for her run north?

What was Micha's average velocity for the whole trip?

What was her average speed for her entire jog?

1) The average velocity while running north is 6 mph

2) The average velocity for the whole trip is zero

3) The average speed for the whole trip is 4.4 mph

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time interval

Here we want to analyze the motion of Micha while she runs north only. The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position, so

d=2 miles

while the time interval is

t=20 min = \frac{1}{3}h

So, the average velocity is

v=\frac{2}{1/3}=6 mph

and the direction is the same as the displacement (north).

2)

As we said, the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position of motion.

If we consider the whole trip, the final position of the Micha is equal to her initial position, since she walked back to home: therefore,

displacement = d = 0

And so, the average velocity is also zero:

v=0

3)

The average speed is defined as

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time interval considered

The distance covered is just the length of the total path covered regardless of the direction, so for the entire jog we have:

d = 2 mi + 2 mi = 4 miles

(since she runs 2 miles north and then another 2 miles back)

The total time is

t=20 min + 15 min + 20 min = 55 min = \frac{55}{60}h = \frac{11}{12}h

So, the average speed is

v=\frac{4}{11/12}=\frac{48}{11} mph = 4.4 mph

A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6

<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>

<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>

An object of unknown mass is initially at rest and dropped from a height h. It reaches the ground with a velocity v1 . The same
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1

Explanation:

The velocity v₁ can be calculated with the kinematic formula:

v_1^{2} =v_0^{2} +2gh

Since the object is initially at rest, v₁ becomes:

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Now, the velocity v₂ can be calculated with the same formula, but now the initial velocity is v₁:

v_2^{2}=v_1^{2} +2gh

Substituting v₁ in this expression and solving for v₂, we get:

v_2^{2}=(\sqrt{2gh} )^{2} +2gh=4gh\\\\\implies v_2=\sqrt{4gh}=2\sqrt{gh}

Now, dividing v₂ over v₁, we get the expression:

\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\frac{2\sqrt{gh} }{\sqrt{2gh}}=\sqrt{2}\\   \\\implies v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1

It means that v₂ is √2 times v₁.

Plz help me it’s a true or false question A shorter wire will allow electricity to
mr Goodwill [35]

-- A shorter wire will allow electricity to  move through at a higher rate than a  longer wire . . . True, but "rate" is a poor way to say it. It should say "a higher current".  

-- A short, thick, cold wire is the best  conductor . . .  True

-- How well a material conducts current is an internal factor affecting resistance . . . True

-- If you double the length of a wire, you cut  the resistance in half . . . False. Double the length also means double the resistance.

-- If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half . . . True

-- Superconductors have no measurable  resistance . . . True. They literally have NO resistance.

-- The higher the temperature of the  conductor, the lower the resistance . . . False. Higher temperature means higher resistance, for almost all conductors.

-- The resistance in a wire with less  thickness is less . . . False. We just said, up above  in Question-#5, "If you double the thickness of a wire, you  cut the resistance in half". Less thickness means more resistance. Just like a highway with fewer lanes.

-- Thickness, length, and temperature are  internal factors that affect resistance . . . False. They affect resistance, but they're external factors.

-- When a light is first switched on the light  bulb's filament has a lower resistance  than after it gives off light for awhile . . . True. Look back 3 questions from here, where it says "Higher temperature means higher resistance".

You fire a 50-g arrow that moves at an unknown speed. it hits and embers in a 350-g block that slides on an air track. at the en
pashok25 [27]

The solution for this problem is:

 

Work it backwards: spring U = ½kx² = ½ * 4000N/m * (0.10m) ² = 20 J 


so the pre-impact of KE = 20 J = ½ * m * v² = ½ * 0.40kg * v² 


v = 10 m/s → for the bullet/block. 


Now conserve the momentum: 


50g * u = 400g * 10m/s 


u = 80 m/s is the arrow velocity
