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 brick and a feather fall to the earth at their respective terminal velocities. Which objectexperiences the greater force of ai
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

Explanation:

<u>Objects at terminal velocity</u>, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and <u>have an acceleration of zero</u>.  Thus, neither object is accelerating.

Recall Newton's second law: \sum {\vec {F}}=m \vec {a}

Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.

Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, <u>the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity</u>.

Recall that near the surface of the earth, F_{gravity}=mg, so <u>the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass</u>.  <em>(A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).</em>

If the masses of the objects are different, <u>the object with the greater mass will experience</u> a larger force of gravity, and hence <u>a larger force of air friction</u> at terminal velocity.  

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.146 kg baseball crashing through the pane
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Impulse, |J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

Force, F = 63.35 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.146 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 15.3 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 10.7 m/s

To find,

(a) The magnitude of this impulse.

(b) The magnitude of the average force of the glass on the ball.

Solution,

(a) Impulse of an object is equal to the change in its momentum. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.146\ kg(10.7-15.3)\ m/s

J = -0.6716 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

(b) Another definition of impulse is given by the product of force and time of contact.

t = 0.0106 s

J=F\times \Delta t

F=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

F=\dfrac{0.6716\ kg-m/s}{0.0106\ s}

F = 63.35 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A man is doing push-ups. he has a mass of 68 kg and his center of gravity is located at a horizontal distance of 0.70 m from his
lidiya [134]
Mass m = 68 kg
center of gravity from his palms x = 0.7 m
center of gravity from his feet x ' = 1 m
forces exerted by the floor on his palms and feet are F and F ' respectively.

with respect to palms :---------------------

( F*0 ) - (W * x ) + [ F ' * (x+x') ] = 0

             -mg*0.7 + F ' * 1.7 = 0    where W = weight = mg

F ' * 1.7 = mg * 0.7

          F ' = mg * 0.7 / 1.7

               = 68 *9.8 * ( 0.7 / 1.7 )

               = 274.4 N

with respect to feet :--------------------

( F ' * 0 ) -( W* x ' ) + [F * ( x + x') ] = 0

                -mg*1 + [ F * 1.7 ]= 0

                                 F = mg / 1.7

                                    = 392 N
