Average speed =

               (distance covered during some period of time)
divided by
               (length of time to cover that distance).

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 160 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 160t − 16t^2.
White raven [17]

Answer:

400ft.    32ft/s       -32ft/s

Explanation:

In reality the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 so the quadratic coefficient of the function should be 9.81/2

Anyway for the sake of assumtion let us takes=160t-16t^2

 

ds/dt=160-32t=0

 

t=160/32= 5 seconds.

s=160*160/32-16*(160/32)^2= 400 mts

 

 

s=384 mts

160t-16t^2=384

i.e

16t^2-160t+384=0

 

t^2-10t+24=0

(t-6)(t-4)=0

t=[4,6]

we have to take t=4 because it is all the up i.e <5

 

velocity =v=ds/dt=160-32t

 

v=160-32*4=32 ft/sec still going up

 

for all the way down take t=6 whuch is >5

 

v=160-6*32=-32 ft/sec (falling down!!!)

During the spin cycle of a washing machine, the clothes stick to the outer wall of the barrel as it spins at a rate as high as 1
Darya [45]

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

a = \frac{49^{2}}{0.26}

a = 9234.6 (m/s^{2})

Wow! That's fast!

<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * 10^{3} (m/s^{2})

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

A basketball player is 4.22 m from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball is the gravitational acceleration in the y axis.

A = (0, -9.8m/s^)

For the velocity we can integrate over time and get:

V(t) = (9.20m/s*cos(69°), -9.8m/s^2*t + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°))

for the position we can integrate it again over time, but this time we do not have any integration constant because the initial position of the ball will be (0,0)

P(t) = (9.20*cos(69°)*t, -4.9m/s^2*t^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*t)

now, the time at wich the horizontal displacement is 4.22 m will be:

4.22m = 9.20*cos(69°)*t

t = (4.22/ 9.20*cos(69°)) = 1.28s

Now we evaluate the y-position in this time:

h =  -4.9m/s^2*(1.28s)^2 + 9.20m/s^2*sin(69°)*1.28s = 2.96m

The height above the release point is 2.96 meters.

A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long a
IrinaK [193]

The frog's launch speed and the time spends in the air are 22.5m/s and 2.73s respectively.

To find the answer, we need to know about the time of flight and range of projectile motion.

<h3>What's the expression of range of a projectile motion?</h3>
  • Range = U²× sin(2θ)/g
  • U= initial velocity, θ= angle of projectile and g= acceleration due to gravity
  • U=√{Range×g/sin(2θ)}
  • Here, range= 2.20m, = 36.5°
  • U= √{2.20×9.8/sin(73)}

U= √{2.20×9.8/sin(73)} = 22.5m/s

<h3>What's the expression of time of flight in projectile motion?</h3>
  • Time of flight= (2×U×sinθ)/g
  • So, T= (2×22.5×sin36.5°)/9.8

= 2.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the frog's launch speed and the time spends in the air are 22.5m/s and 2.73s respectively.

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?
viktelen [127]

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that describes the rate of change of displacement with time.

   Velocity = \frac{Displacement}{time taken}

The quantity differs from speed in that it has both magnitude and direction.

From the options given above:

Displacement: The boat traveled in the north direction from the dock to a 200m mark.

Time taken: approximately less than 5 minutes was the duration of traveling.

This describes the boat's velocity accurately.
