Calculate the average speed of an automobile that travels 60km east and then 80km north in two hours

Physics

lbvjy [14]3 years ago

We need to calculate speed , so we don't need to consider direction.
speed =distance/time
=(80+60)/2
=70.

But if we were to calculate velocity,we would need to consider the direction.
The direction of resultant displacement would be in north east direction with displacement
=√60^2 +80^2
=100km

The average velocity=100/2=50kmph

a motorcycle accelerates from 15 m/s to 20 m/s over a distance of 50 meters. what is its average acceleration?
devlian [24]
For this, you need the v-squared equation, which is v(final)² = v(initial)² + 2aΔx The averate acceleration is thus a = (v(final)² - v(initial)²) / 2Δx = (20² - 15²) / 2(50) = 175 / 100 = 1.75 m/s² So the average acceleration is 1.75 m/s²

What do you mean by physical quantity
Naddika [18.5K]

A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

Why is pluto not a planet?
mihalych1998 [28]
Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!

an astronaut on earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. if she were instead in
nadya68 [22]

The gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

<h3>What is gravitational force?</h3>

All mass-bearing objects are attracted by gravitational force. Because it consistently attempts to bring masses together rather than push them apart, the gravitational force is referred to as attractive.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

Weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

g does not affect astronauts on earth in a lunar module.

Thus, the gravitation force is 1/6 that of earth, and the ice in the same soft drink would float with 9/10 submerged option (B) is correct.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction to Jupiter exerts on IO
kotegsom [21]

The gravity force between Jupiter and Io will be 6.343 × 10²² N.

<h3>What is Newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

Given data;

Mass of Jupiter,\rm m_j = 1.9 \times 10^{27} \ kg

Mass of moon of Jupiter,\rm m_{i_0}= 8.9 \times 10^{22} \ kg]

The gravitational constant is,\rm G =  6.67 \times 10^{-11 } \ m^3  kg^{-1}  s^{-2}

Distance between Jupiter and Io, R = 421,700 km = 4,217,00,000 m

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

The gravitational force is found as;

\rm F = G \frac{ m_J m_{I_0}}{R^2} \\\\\ F = (6.67\times 10^{-11}) \frac{( (1.9\times 10^{27})\times (8.9\times 10^{22} )} { (421700000)^2}\\\\ F_g = 6.343 \times 10^{22} \  N

Hence, the gravity force between Jupiter and Io will be 6.343 × 10²² N.

The complete question is

"Jupiter has a mass of 1.9 × 1027 kg, and its moon Io has a mass of 8.9 × 1022 kg. Their centers are separated by a distance of 421,700 km what is the force of gravity acting on Io? "
