Answer:

v = 1.82 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that average speed is defined as the total distance covered in total interval of time.

So here given that

total distance = 100 m

total time = 55 s

so here from above formula

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t}

v_{avg} = \frac{100}{55}

v_{avg} = 1.82 m/s

so the average speed of the swimmer will be 1.82 m/s

A force exerted on an object produces acceleration. If the mass remains the same and the acceleration is doubled, the force must
Inga [223]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The force will be doubled.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Using Newton Law II,

<h3>F = ma </h3>

So it can be seen in the formula that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

if mass is doubled ---> force will be doubled, keeping acceleration constant.

Similarly,

if acceleration is doubled ---? force is will be doubled, keeping mass constant.

<em>It is assumed that there is no friction, the object is in the air with no air resistance.</em>

Two asteroids in outer space collide, and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before th
Naddik [55]

Answer: (2) Use the Momentum Principle.

Explanation:

In fact, it is called the <u>Conservation of linear momentum principle,</u> which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} of the asteroids before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision, no matter if the collision was elastic or inelastic (in which the kinetic energy is not conserved).

In this sense, the linear momentum p of a body is defined as:

p=mV

Where m is the mass and V the velocity.

Therefore, the useful approach in this situation is<u> option (2)</u>.

You have two golf balls that differ only in their surfaces. one has dimples, while the other is smooth. if you were to drop the
il63 [147K]

Answer: the golf ball with smooth surface would hit the ground first.


Jusitification:


An analysis of forces show two vertical forces acting on the golf balls.


1) one force is the weight (mg) which is vertical downward


2) the other force is the drag force exerted by the air on the golf balls, and it is vertical upward.


3) the drag force opposes the weight, so the acceleration downward is determined by the difference of the weiight and the drag force, until the balls reach the terminal speed (when the drag force equals the weight).


4) the drag force depends on the shape and area of the object falling. Being the surface of one ball smooth implies that the drag force will be less than the one on the other ball.


5) less drag force implies that the terminal velocity of the smooth ball will he higher, ant then it will hit the ground first.
