The Gulf Stream, for example, has an average speed of 4 mph, or 100 miles/day, or 3600 miles/year, in round numbers. A complete circuit around the Atlantic is 8 or 10 thousand miles, which would take around 3 years on a raft.

Physics quiz 11 th-12th grade helpp

5. The jogger's velocity is a constant 3.55 m/s between t = 4 s and t = 8 s.

6. Given a linear plot of velocity, the acceleration is determined by the slope of the line. Take any two points on the part of the plot after t = 8 s - for instance, we see it passes through (8 s, 3.5 m/s) and (10 s, 4 m/s) - and compute the slope:

(4 m/s - 3.5 m/s)/(10 s - 8 s) = (0.5 m/s)/(2 s) = 0.25 m/s^2

7. This amounts to finding the area between the velocity function and the time axis and between t = 4 s and t = 8 s. During this time, the velocity is 3.5 m/s. The time interval lasts 4 s. So the distance covered is

(3.5 m/s)*(4 s) = 14 m

8. After 4 seconds, Jimmy's speed decreases from 30.0 m/s to 27.2 m/s, so his acceleration (assuming it was constant) was

a = (27.2 m/s - 30.0 m/s)/(4 s) = -0.200 m/s^2

It's unclear what is meant by "rate of acceleration", since the acceleration is itself a rate. But maybe they just mean to ask for the acceleration, or possibly the magnitude?

In a physics lab, you attach a 0.200-kg air-track glider to the end of an ideal spring of negligible mass and start it oscillati
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

  k = 0.292 N / m

Explanation:

The glider with the spring forms a system with a simple harmonic movement, in this type of movement the angular velocity is given by

      w = √ k / m

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and is related to the period

      w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

We replace

      2π / T = ra (k / m

      T = 2π √ (m / k)

The period is the time of a complete oscillation, in this case the glider starts from the equilibrium point and returns for the first time, this corresponds to the middle of the period

 

       ½ T = 2.60 s

       T = 2 2.60

       T= 5.20 s

We clear the equation

       T² = 4π² m / k

        k = 4π² m / T²

Let's calculate

        k = 4π² 0.200 / 5.20²

        k = 0.292 N / m
