Average speed is useful but it might not describe your actual speed

Physics

Average speed is useful in describing the motion of a body, but it does not tell everything about the motion. For instance, a car traveling at an average speed of 100 kilometers per hour during a certain hour could conceivably have traveled at 150 km/h for 40 minutes, Energy, Ch. 3, extension 1 Calculating average speed and velocity 3 then halted for the last 20 minutes as a patrolman gave the driver a ticket (picture above). Its average speed really does not describe that hour’s journey very well. The way to deal with such a situation is to take the average over a shorter interval, and do this more times. In the example given above, if the speed were sampled every 15 minutes instead of over the entire hour, we would list average speeds of 150 km/h at the start (0 to 15 minutes), 150 km/h (15 to 30 minutes), 100 km/h (30 to 45 minutes), and 0 km/h (45 to 60 minutes).

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. the height of the counter is 1.15 m. the mug
yarga [219]

<span>A.    </span>Let’s say the horizontal component of the velocity is vx and the vertical is vy. <span>
Initially at t=0 (as the mug leaves the counter) the components are v0x and v0y. 
<span>v0y = 0 since the customer slides it horizontally so applied force is in the x component only.

<span>The equations for horizontal and vertical projectile motion are:
x = x0 + v0x t 
y = y0 + v0y t - 1/2 g t^2 = y0 - 1/2 g t^2 </span></span></span>

Setting the origin to be the end corner of the counter so that x0=0 and y0=0, hence:

x = v0x t

y = - 1/2 g t^2 

Given value are: x=1.50m and y=-1.15m (y is negative since mug is going down)

<span>1.50m = v0x t    ---->  v0x= 1.50/t</span>

<span>-1.15m = -(1/2) (9.81) t^2    -----> t =0.4842 s</span>

Calculating for v0x:

v0x = 3.10 m/s

<span>B.    </span>v0x is constant since there are no other horizontal forces so, v0x=vx=3.10m/s

vy can be calculated from the formula:

<span>vy = v0y + at         where a=-g (negative since going down)</span>

vy = -gt = -9.81 (0.4842)

vy = -4.75 m/s

 

Now to get the angle below the horizontal, tan(90-Ø) = -vx/vy

tan(90-Ø )= 3.1/4.75

Ø = 56.87˚<span> below the horizontal</span>

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.
marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )

where;

  • -v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
  • -vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
  • fs is the source frequency
  • fo is the observed frequency
  • v is speed of sound

f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )

f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz
