Velocity is a function of time and defined by both a magnitude and a direction. Often in physics problems, you will need to calculate the initial velocity (speed and direction) at which an object in question began to travel. There are multiple equations that can be used to determine initial velocity. Using the information given in a problem, you can determine the proper equation to use and easily answer your question.

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00

vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

$v$ = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

$\theta$ = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel

$y$ = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

$y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}$

$- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2$

$t$ = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel = 1.22 sec

$x$ = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

$x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}$

$x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2$

$x$ = 7.5 m

How would you find the average speed of a cyclist throughout an entire race

Fudgin [204]

Speed = distance / time
If you input your numbers into this equation you will be able to find the cyclists average speed

A runner completes the 300-meter dash in 38 seconds. What is the speed of the runner? Round your answer the answer to the neares

loris [4]

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

A cart is moving to the right with a constant speed of 20 m s . A box of mass 80 kg moves with the cart without slipping. The co

nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box $m=80 kg$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.15$

coefficient of Static friction $\mu _s=0.30$

cart is moving with constant velocity therefore Net Force is zero

Since there is no net acceleration therefore friction force will be zero

mathematically

$f_r=ma$

where $f_r=frictional\ Force$

$a=acceleration$

$a=0$

$f_r=0$
