Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 50.2 m at a speed of 2.21 m/s and then run 50.2 m at a sp
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a) 2.87 m/s

b) 3.23 m/s

Explanation:

The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.

a)

For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:

d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m

The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:

t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s

t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s

t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =2.87 m/s

b)

Here we can easily know the total time:

t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s

Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:

d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m

d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m

d = 418.656 m

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =3.23 m/s

1. It s defficult to lift a heavier stone than the lighter one. why​
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

lThe effect of the attraction of the earth on a bigger stone can be observed more than the effect of attraction of the earth on a smaller one. hence it is difficult to lift a large stone than the smaller one on the earth surface.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Select three options.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Description of an object in projectile motion is;

  • Gravity acts to pull the object down.
  • The object’s inertia carries it forward.
  • The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The path of the projectile is usually curved, and NOT straight, due to the influence of gravity on it which is teh only force acting on it-, causing it motion path to fall towards the earth. Most projectiles follow a parabolic path. The projectile, even though it was launched, its motion is then only due to its own inertia – tendency to stay in motion in a straight line, or rest, unless an external force is acting on it - such as drag or friction.  An example of such projectile motion is of ballistic missiles.
