Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

$v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 3.00 kg mass is traveling at an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What is the

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 3 .00 kg

initial speed of the mass, u = 25 m/s

distance traveled by the mass, d = 62.5 m

The acceleration of the mass is given as;

v² = u² + 2ad

at the maximum distance of 62.5 m, the final velocity of the mass = 0

0 = u² + 2ad

-2ad = u²

-a = u²/2d

-a = (25)² / (2 x 62.5)

-a = 5

a = -5 m/s²

the magnitude of the acceleration = 5 m/s²

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

F = 3 x 5

F = 15 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.

In an electric shaver, the blade moves back and forth over a distance of 2.0 mm in simple harmonic motion, with frequency 124 Hz

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) A = 1 mm

(b) $V_{max}=0.77872 m/s$

(c) $a_{max}=606.4 m/s^{2}/tex]Explanation:Distance moved back and forth = 2 mm Frequency, f = 124 HzSo, amplitude is the half of the distance traveled back and forth. (a) So, amplitude, A = 1 mm(b) Angular frequency, ω = 2 π f = 2 x 3.14 x 124 = 778.72 rad/s The formula for the maximum speed is given by [tex]V_{max}=\omega \times A$

$V_{max}=778.72 \times 0.001$

$V_{max}=0.77872 m/s$

$a_{max}=\omega ^{2}A$

$a_{max}=778.72 ^{2}\times 0.001$

[tex]a_{max}=606.4 m/s^{2}/tex]

An object of mass m is hung from a spring and set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T.

sergejj [24]

Answer: $\sqrt{2}T$

Explanation:

Given

object of mass m is suspended from spring and set in oscillation with time Period T

We know Time period of a mass in oscillation is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where k=spring constant

When mass m is replaced by a mass of 2 m time period is given by

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}}$

$T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

$T'=\sqrt{2}T$

i.e. New time period becomes $\sqrt{2}$ times of previous one

He graph below shows the velocity f(t) of a runner during a certain time interval:

Annette [7]

<span>The following that describes the intercepts on the graph is "The initial velocity of the runner was 4 m/s, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds." It is because the starting point of the line is at 4 and then the ending point is at 8.
