Why is your velocity continuously changing as you ride on a carousel?

Physics
2 answers:
Finger [1]3 years ago
5 0

Since carousels go in circles, the direction of travel is constantly changing and velocity is defined as constant change. This is the reason why velocity is continuously changing when riding a carousel for velocity is involve in change of direction.

Moreover, a change in velocity is an acceleration and velocity has two properties that comprises direction and magnitude. Whereas the direction of velocity is the direction of travel and speed is the magnitude of velocity.

<span>To make this more obvious (and give it some relevance beyond being just a HW question), imagine that the ride is going super, super, duper fast. You'd better hold on tight or else you'll fly off. There's obviously a force acting on you, then, to keep you on that ride. Therefore, you are accelerating, which means your velocity is changing.</span>

AN airplane travels 4000 m in 20s on a heading 0f 35 degrees north west. Calculate average velocity .
alexandr402 [8]
Isn't velocity Distance over time? if the degree isn't adding resistance it should be 4000 ÷ 20 which gives you 200mps ("per second") which is the velocity without resistance.

Describe the relationship between joules, meters, and newtons
Naily [24]
Newton is a unit of force. Joules is an amount of work which is equal to the force times distance, or newton meters. So the product of newtons and meters makes joules.

An object with an initial speed of 4.0 meters per second accelerates uniformly at 2.0 meters per second squared in the direction
leva [86]

Answer:

6 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 4 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²

Distance (s) = 5 m

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the object can obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 4² + (2 × 2 × 5)

v² = 16 + 20

v² = 36

Take the square root of both side.

v = √36

v = 6 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the object is 6 m/s.

Felecia left her home to visit her daughter, driving 45mph. Her husband waited for the dog sitter to arrive and left home 20 min
andre [41]

Felicia** drove at 45 mph.  After 1/3 of an hour, when her husband started out, she was (45/3) = 15 miles from home.

Husband drove at 55 mph.  He gained (55-45) = 10 miles on Felicia each hour.  That is, he closed 10 miles of the gap each hour.

It took him (15/10) = 1.5 hours to catch up to her.  

That's <em>1hr 30min after HE started out</em>, and <em>1hr 50min after SHE left the house</em>.

** I've spelled the wife's name as 'Felicia' throughout my solution.  I'm pretty sure there's a better chance of this being the correct spelling rather than 'Felecia', and I never trust anybody who can't spell their own name.

A swarm of bees has an average velocity of 0.20 meters per second. How far will they travel in 2 minutes? Show equation, substit
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

24 metre

Explanation:

From the available information in this question,

The swarm of bees moves at 0.20 per second

If it moves at

O.20 = 1 second,

We have a minute to be = 60 seconds

So in one 1 minute the velocity =

0.20 x 60 seconds

= 12 meters

The 2 minutes = 60 seconds x 2

2 minutes = 120 seconds

120 x 0.20 = 24 meters

So in 2 minutes these swarm of bees are going to travel a distance of 24 metres
