You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. You arrive home

after driving 4.5 h. (a) How far is your hometown from school? (b) What was your average speed?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Person travel 180 km with $v_1=95\ km/h$

and slow down to $v_2=65\ km/h$ due to rain

time taken to cover 180 km is

$t_1=\dfrac{180}{95}$

$t_1=1.89\ hr$

total time $T=4.5\ hr$

suppose $t_2$ is the time for which it travels with $v_2=65\ km/h$

$t_2=T-t_1$

$t_2=4.5-1.89$

$t_2=2.61\ hr$

so distance travel during this time $d_2=v_2\times t_2$

$d_2=65\times 2.61$

$d_2=169.65\ km$

total distance $d=180+d_2$

$d=180+169.65$

$d=349.65\ km$

(b)Average speed

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{Distance}{time}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{349.65}{4.5}$

$v_{avg}=77.7\ km/h$

Answer:

algebraic sum of moments of all the forces acting on the body about the axis of rotation is zero, the body is in equilibrium. According to the principle of moments, in equilibrium: Sum of anticlockwise Moments = Sum of clockwise moments.

Condition:

<em>For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration.</em>

The wheel on an upside-down bicycle moves through 18.0 rad in 5.39 s. What is the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial an

Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate angular acceleration is as follows.

$\Delta (\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta t^{2} + \omega_{1} \Delta t$

or, $\alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}$

= $\frac{2(18.0 rad - 2.5 rad/s \times 5.30 s)}{(5.39)^{2}}$

= 0.326 $rad/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial angular speed is 2.5 rad/s is 0.326 $rad/s^{2}$ .

A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall. The ball bounces back with ne

gregori [183]

Answer:

The ball experiences the greater momentum change

Explanation:

The momentum change of each object is given by:

$\Delta p = m \Delta v= m (v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Both objects have same mass m and same initial velocity u. So we have:

- For the ball, the final velocity is

$v=-u$

Since it bounces back (so, opposite direction --> negative sign) with same speed (so, the magnitude of the final velocity is still u). So the change in momentum is

$\Delta p=m(v-u)=m((-u)-u)=-2mu$

- For the clay, the final velocity is

$v=0$

since it sticks to the wall. So, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p = m(v-u)=m(0-u)=-mu$

So we see that the greater momentum change (in magnitude) is experienced by the ball.

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot

kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.
