In heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and fi

nally you drive at 15 m/s for another 2.5 minutes. (a) Plot the position-versus-time graph for this motion. your plot should extend from t=0 to t=7.5 minutes. (b) Use your plot from part (a) to calculate the average velocity between t=0 and t=7.5 minutes.

To develop this problem we will begin to determine the distances traveled in each of the segments using the linear motion kinematic equations. For this purpose, the distance traveled will be determined by the product between speed and time.

Part A is attached and indicates the graph of distance traveled vs time. And the calculations for development are found below. With the distance traveled and the total time it will be possible to find the average speed of the second part.

In 1.5 min the distance covered was,

d_1 = (1.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min}) (12m/s) = 1080m

In the next 3.5min the distance covered is 0.

d_2 = 0

The distance covered for the next 2.5 min is

d_3 = (2.5 min)(\frac{60s}{1min})(15m/s)=2250m

Total distance covered is

d_T = d_1+d_2+d_3

d_T = 1080+0+2250

d_T = 3330m

For the average distance we need to use the total distance covered in the total time used. Then,

v_{Avg} = \frac{d_T}{t_T}

v_{Avg} = \frac{3330m}{7.5min (\frac{60s}{1min})}

v_{Avg} = 7.4m/s

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

**URGENT** Roberto plans to use two transformers to reduce a voltage of 120 V to 4 V. He uses a transformer that has 300 coils i
skelet666 [1.2K]

As we know that in transformers we have

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

here we know that

V_s = 4 Volts

V_p = 120 Volts

N_s = 50 coils

N_p = 300 coils

now from above equation we will have

\frac{V}{120} = \frac{50}{300}

V = 20 Volts

now we have to reduce this voltage to final voltage of V = 4 V

so again we will have

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

\frac{4}{20} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

\frac{N_s}{N_p} = \frac{1}{5}

so we need to take such a winding whose ratio is 1:5

So it is satisfied in X

N_p = 60

N_s = 12

so answer will be

<u>B)-   X</u>

Answer: 12) 1.07 m/s (right) 13) 4.05 m/s 14) 73 m/s 15) 10.9 m/s

Explanation:

12) Conservation of momentum. Momentum is the produce of mass and velocity.

13(2) + 15(-5) = 13(-5) + 15v

v = 1.06666... ≈ 1.07 m/s (right)

13) 18(9) + 22(0) = 18v + 22v

v = 18(9)/40 = 4.05 m/s

14) 0.65(35) + 0.08(0) = 0.65(26) + 0.08v

v = 73.125

15) This is a bit trickier. Let's ASSUME you jump off at 7 m/s relative to the truck. Doing this, we can assume that the reference frame is moving along with the truck at 10 m/s

the conservation of momentum equation becomes

600(0) + 80(0) = 600v + 80(-7)

v = 0.9333333... m/s

adding back the velocity of the reference frame means the truck is now traveling.

10.9333333... ≈ 10.9 m/s
