Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T,  by

\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

v = \omega A

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah

v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}

h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}

If the average speed of a person was 1.2 meters/second, does this mean that their speed was exactly 1.2 meters/second the whole
alexandr1967 [171]

Average speed is defined by the following formula

v = \frac{D}{t}

here

D = total distance that an object move from its initial position to final position

t = total time of the motion

so here we will say that there is no such relation between initial or final speed or we can say maximum or minimum speed of object with average speed of object.

We only need to find the total distance and total time of motion in order to find the average speed

here we can see many examples like let say an object moves with speed v1 for time t1 and then with speed v2 for time t2 then here average speed is given as

d = v_1 t_1 + v_2t_2

since we know that distance covered is product of speed and time

that's why we used above equation for finding total distance

now the average speed will be

v_{avg} = \frac{v_1t_1 + v_2 t_2}{t_1 + t_2}

so this is how we can find the average speed for above motion

so average speed is always between maximum and minimum speed any value in-between.

It is neither the maximum value nor it is minimum value
