You leave your home at 1pm. At 3pm, you are 100 km east of your house. What was your average velocity in km/hr

Physics

1 answer:

Rasek [7]2 years ago

Answer:

50km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity = change in distance (or distance travelled) divided by/ the change in time (or time taken.)

The change in distance has been given as 100km.

The change in time is 3pm-1pm = 2 hours.

Therefore the average velocity was 100/2 = 50km/h (to the east).

Hope this helped!

A bicyclist starting at rest produces a constant angular acceleration of 1.30 rad/s2 for wheels that are 35.5 cm in radius.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) 0.462 m/s^2

b) 31.5 rad/s

c) 381 rad

d) 135m

Explanation:

the linear acceleration is given by:

$a=\alpha *r\\a=1.30rad/s^2*(35.5*10^{-2}m)\\a=0.462m/s^2$

the angular speed is given by:

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\\\omega=\frac{11.2m/s}{35.5*10^{-2}m}\\\\\omega=31.5rad/s$

to calculate how many radians have the wheel turned we need the apply the following formula:

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha*t^2\\\\t=\frac{\omega}{\alpha}\\\\t=\frac{31.5rad/s}{1.30rad/s^2}\\\\t=24.2s\\\\\theta=\frac{1}{2}*1.30rad/s^2*(24.2s)^2\\\\\theta=381rad$

the distance is given by:

$d=\theta*r$

$d=381rad*(35.5*10^{-2}m)\\d=135m$

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

$E_i = E_f$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

$h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}$

$v_f = 1.8486m/s$

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

The answer is C.

The Kinetic energy which was exerted and experience pulling the string of a bow is kept as a potential energy at the end of the arrow in contact with the string. Once release from aim at stationary position the potential energy is again transformed.
