Paul and Ivan are riding a tandem bike together. They’re moving at a speed of 5 meters/second. Paul and Ivan each have a mass of

VMariaS [17]

If Paul and Ivan has a speed of 5 meters/second in which their combined mass is 50 kg. To increase the bike's kinetic energy, Paul must increase its speed as well. Increasing his speed allows an increase in momentum of them running the bike. The kinetic energy equation is KE = 0.5mv² where m is mass, v is speed and KE is kinetic energy.

A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Amplitude - remains the same

Frequency - increases

Period - decreases

Velocity - remains the same.

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an automobile weighing 2135 lb and traveling at 55 mph. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, 1 lb = 45

victus00 [196]

Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.

#2 A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s^2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 second?

solmaris [256]

You use the equation Velocity = Acceleration X Time. 4x4=16m/s.

The car travels 18m in 3 seconds.
