A motorist travels 406 km, West during a 7.0 hr period. What was the average velocity in (a) km/hr and (b) m/sec?

1 answer:

6 0

Average velocity = (displacement) / (travel time)

Without more details, I just have to assume that the 406 km
is the displacement ... that is, the straight-line distance between
the start point and the end point. If there were any turns, loops,
or backtracks during the trip, then this question couldn't be answered,
because we don't know the displacement.

a). Average velocity = (406 km) / (7.0 hours) = 58 km/hr West.

According to the requirements stated in the question, I still
have to convert this answer to a different unit in order to
rightfully claim the full 5-points bounty.

b). (58 km/hour) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hour / 3600 sec) = 16-1/9 m/sec .

A 20 N force pulls to the right and friction pulls 5 N. If the mass is 5 kg, find acceleration.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force - frictional Force = m * a

20N - 5N = 5 * a

15N = 5*a

15N / 5 = a

a = 3 m/s^2

You should note a couple of things.

1. The frictional Force always opposes the direction of motion. In this case it is minus and the 20 N is plus. It makes the acceleration less. If the friction force was not there then 20 N = m * a

20N = 5 kg * a

a = 20/5

a = 4 m/s^2.

Problem 28.3 Suppose that you are planning a trip in which a spacecraZ is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six month

iragen [17]

Answer:

v = 0.999981c m/s

Explanation:

Using the time dilation equation

$T = \frac{T_{0} }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } } }$

T = stationary time = 100 years

T₀ = 11/12 years = 0.917 years

v = speed of travel in the space = ?

c = speed of light = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

$100 = \frac{0.917 }{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{(3*10^{8} )^{2} } } }\\$

$(0.917/100) ^{2} = 1 - \frac{v^{2} }{ 9 * 10^{16} }$

v = 299987395.57 m/s

v = 2.99 * 10⁸ m/s

v = 0.999981c m/s

What is mag-lev technology?

zubka84 [21]

It's short for magnetic levitation technology; it uses the opposite attraction of magnets to keep something in the air; e.g. a train with magnets on the bottom facing south and the tracks that also have south facing magnets.
