A squirrel is running a race where she is on track for her average velocity to be 6.0 m/s. She is distracted by a dummy of an at

tractive male squirrel and pauses for 3.0 s. As a result her average velocity ends up being 5.0 m/s instead. What is the length of the race? [HINT: construct two equations with the same two unknowns in them and you can solve the system of equations]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

There are two unknowns: the amount of time the squirrel spent running, and the length of the race.  Let's call these t and x, respectively.

The average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time.

5.0 m/s = x / (t + 3.0)

The total distance is the time she spent running times the speed she ran at.

x = (6.0 m/s) t

Substitute and solve:

5 = 6t / (t + 3)

5 (t + 3) = 6t

5t + 15 = 6t

t = 15

She ran for 15 seconds (not including the 3 seconds she stopped).  So the length of the race is:

x = (6.0 m/s) (15 s)

x = 90 m

Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?
DIA [1.3K]
Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha
Oksana_A [137]

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?
dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together
