Answer:

The average speed of the cyclist is 17.14 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by the cyclist's, d = 60 km

time taken by the cyclist, t = 3.5 hours

The average speed of the cyclist is given by;

average speed  = total distance traveled / total time taken

average speed = 60 km / 3.5 hr

average speed  = 17.14 km/hr

Therefore, the average speed of the cyclist is 17.14 km/hr

A car that weighs 1.0 x 10^4 N is initially moving at a speed of 38 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Part a) Force on car = 2833.84 Newtons

Part b) Time to stop the car = 3.8 seconds

Part c) Factor for stopping distance is 4.

Part d) Factor for stopping time is 1.

Explanation:

The deceleration produced when the car is brought to rest in 20 meters can be found by third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

v = final speed of the car ( = 0 in our case since the car stops)

u = initial speed of the car = 38 km/hr =\frac{38\times 1000}{3600}=10.56m/s

a = deceleration produces

s = distance in which the car stops

Applying the given values we get

0^2=10.56^2+2\times a\times 20\\\\a=\frac{0-10.56^2}{2\times 20}\\\\\therefore a=-2.78m/s^2

Now the force can be obtained using newton's second law as

Force=\frac{Weight}{g}\times a

Applying values we get

Force=\frac{1.0\times 10^4}{9.81}\times -2.78\\\\\therefore F=-2833.84Newtons

The negative direction indicates that the force is opposite to the motion of the object.

Part b)

The time required to stop the car can be found using the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at with symbols having the same meanings

Applying values we get

0=10.56-2.78\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{10.56}{2.78}=3.8seconds

Part c)

From the developed relation of stopping distance we can see that the for same force( Same acceleration) the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial speed thus doubling the initial speed increases the stopping distance 4 times.

Part d)

From the relation of stopping time and the initial speed we can see that the stopping distance is proportional initial speed thus if we double the initial speed the stopping time also doubles.

Answer:

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards.

The pressure at a depth in a fluid of constant density is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere plus the pressure due to the weight of the fluid, or p = p 0 + ρ h g , p = p 0 + ρ h g , 14.4

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution
givi [52]
With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π 

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
   = (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
   = 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5  revolutions per second.
