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

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.60 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.00 m/s from a height of 1.70 m above
ryzh [129]

Answer:

we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

Explanation:

given data

base = 3.60 m

speed u = 8 m/s

height = 1.70 m

to find out

check change in speed

solution

we know here formula for v  that is

v² = u² - 2gh      ............1        for upward speed

v² = u² + 2gh     ............2        for projected speed

so here put all value and find v with h = 3.60 - 1.70 = 1.9 m

v² = 8² - 2(9.8) 1.9  = 26.76

v² = 8² + 2(9.8) 1.9   = 101.24

v = 5.173  m/s    ..............3

v = 10.061 m/s   ...................4

so change in speed form 3 and 4 equation

change in speed = v - u = 8 - 5.173  = 2.827 m/s     .................5

change in speed = v - u = 10.061 - 8 = 2.061 m/s     ..................6

so now we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t
Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have   v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

        141 = 17.7+ 6a

       So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/s^{2}

       Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/s^{2} along north direction.

Why is a minimum of three seismic stations needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
vazorg [7]

Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.

A zero-order reaction has a constant rate of 2.30×10−4 M/s. If after 80.0 seconds the concentration has dropped to 1.50×10−2 M,
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Initial concentration of the reactant = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = 2.30×10−4 M/s,

Time of reaction = 80s

Final concentration = 1.50×10−2 M

Initial concentration = Rate of reaction × Time of reaction + Final concentration

= 2.30×10−4 M/s × 80s + 1.50×10−2 M = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Initial concentration = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M
