A cyclist travels 36km in 3 hours. What is the cyclist’s average speed?

Physics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago

To determine what the cyclists average speed is, simply divide the distance the cyclist has travelled by the time the cyclist has traveled for.

Assuming that this is the average rate the cyclist is moving at it would be 12 km/hr.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) The resulting angular speed of platform is 1.38 rev/sec

b) The change in kinetic energy of the system is 53 J.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The complete question will be:

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in each hand. The moment of inertia of you, the extended weights, and the platform is 8.8 kg · m2. When you pull the weights in toward your body, the moment of inertia decreases to  7.0 k g .m 2  

a) What is the resulting angular speed of the platform? Answer in units of r e v / s .

b)What is the change in kinetic energy of the system? Answer in units of J.

<h3>ANSWER:</h3>

a)

we know that:

Angular Momentum = L = Iω

From conservation of momentum:

Lo = Lf

(Io) (ωo) = (If) (ωf)

ωf = (Io) (ωo)/(If)

ωf = (8.8 kg.m²)(1.1 rev/s)/(7.0 kg.m²)

<u>ωf = 1.38 rev/sec =</u>

b)

ωf = (1.38 rev/sec)(2π rad/ 1 rev) = 8.67 rad/sec

ωo = (1.1 rev/sec)(2π rad/ 1 rev) = 6.91 rad/sec

The kinetic energy for rotational motion is given as:

K.E = (1/2)Iω²

Thus, the change in kinetic energy will be:

ΔK.E = (K.E)f - (K.E)o

ΔK.E = (1/2)Ifωf² - (1/2)Ioωo²

ΔK.E = (1/2)(Ifωf² - Ioωo²)

ΔK.E = (1/2)[(7 kg.m²)(8.67 rad/sec)² - (8.8 kg.m²)(6.91 rad/sec)²

<u>ΔK.E = 53 J</u>

Matter behaving like a wave rather than like a particle is best illustrated by which phenomenon?
Novay_Z [31]
<span>The photoelectric effect is about electrons being ejected from metals when light is shined on metals. The electrons do not behave like waves in the photoelectric effect. Black body radiation is all about the radiation emitted by warm bodies and not about those bodies behaving like waves. The emission spectra of atoms is all about what light is given off by atoms when electrons in those atoms jump down to lower energy levels from higher levels. That also has nothing to do with matter behaving as a wave. Interference is classically defined as the generation of a new wave with an amplitude modulated according to the waves that interfere to form that new wave. Note its emphasis on the wave part.</span>

You have landed on an unknown planet, newtonia, and want to know what objects will weigh there. you find that when a certain too
AleksandrR [38]
Refer to the diagram shown.

Because the surface is frictionless, the resistive for, R, is zero.

Let m = the mass of the object.
Let a =  acceleration due to the applied force.
Therefore
12.7 N = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 12.7/m  m/s²

The object travels  16.1 m in 2.5 s, starting from rest. Therefore
16.1 N = (1/2)*(12.7/m m/s²)*(2.5 s)² = 39.6875/m  N
m = 16.1/39.6875 = 0.4057 kg

For freefall, let g =  acceleration due to gravity.
The time to fall from 10.3 m is 2.88 s, therefore
10.3 m = (1/2)*(g m/s²)*(2.88 s)² = 4.1472g m
g = 10.3/4.1472 = 2.484 m/s²

Answer:
The gravitational acceleration on the planet is 2.5 m/s² (nearest tenth)
