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 cat is running at 24 m/s. It then accelerates at 7 m/s2. How long will it take the cat to reach a speed of 49 m/s?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

t should be 3.57 second

Explanation:

Formula used is v = u+at

In which v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Substitute each of the info given into the formula and calculate.

49 = 24 + (7)t

t = 3.57s

A man on the moon throws a ball vertically upwards and it is noticed that the ball travels 3.0m less in the fifth second of its
sdas [7]
<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

           s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² -  u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

           s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² -  u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

           s₅ = u - 4.5 g    

That is

           u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

             2 g = 3

                g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²

Sliva [168]

True conditions

Efficiency of Heat Exchanger are as below:

the heat exchange process between two fluids with different temperatures using solid walls occurs in various engineering applications. The tool to achieve this exchange is a heat exchanger. Some applications like air conditioning, power generation, waste heat recovery, and chemical processing use this device.

The basis of the work of a heat exchanger is that the hot fluid enters the heat exchanger at temperature T1 and its heat capacity is Chot. Also, the cold fluid with the heat capacity of Ccold enters temperature t1; in the meantime, the hot fluid loses its heat, and its temperature drops to T2. It delivers heat to the cold fluid to increase its temperature to t2 and leave the heat exchanger at this temperature.
