An automobile travels on a straight road for 42 km at 45 km/h. it then continues in the same direction for another 42 km at 90 k

m/h. (assume that it moves in the positive x direction.) a. what is the average velocity of the car during this 84 km trip?
b. what is it’s average speed?
C. Graph x versus t and indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph?

Answer:

a) The average velocity is v = (60 km/h ; 0)

b) The average speed is 60 km/h

Explanation:

The velocity is a vector that has a magnitude and direction. The average speed is the distance traveled over time without taking into account the direction of the motion.

a)The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = Δx/Δt

where

v = velocity

Δx = final position - initial position = traveled distance relative to the center of the reference system.

Δt = final time - initial time (initial time is usually = 0)

We know that the displacement is 84 km but we do not know the time. It can be calculated from the two parts of the trip.

In part 1:

v = 45 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 0.93 h

In part 2:

v = 90 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 42 km / 90 km/h

t = 0.47 h

The time of travel is 0.47 h + 0.93 h = 1.4 h

The average velocity will be:

v = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

Expressed as a vector in a 2-dimension plane:

v = (60 km/h; 0)

b) The average speed is calculated as the distance traveled over time. Note that in this case, the distance is equal to the displacement since the direction of the motion is always in one direction. But if the direction of the second part of the trip would have been the opposite to the direction of the first part, the displacement would have been 0 (final position - initial position = 0, because final position = initial position), then, the average velocity would have been 0. In change, the average speed would have been the distance traveled (84 km, 42 km in one direction and 42 km in the other) over time.

Then:

average speed = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

c) see attached figure.

Two objects are in freefall. Object A experiences a gravitational force of
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

Both the objects A and B will have the same acceleration.

<u>Explanation :</u>

The objects will have the same acceleration as both are under free fall condition. When objects are under the free fall condition, the only force that acts on the object is its weight.

Weight is the force acting on a body of some mass, and the formula for finding the weight of a body is- Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity(g).

Therefore, here the different weight is due to the difference masses of both bodies, and not due to the different acceleration values.

Answer:

The length of the boomerang is 0.364 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is:

I=\frac{1}{2} m_{d} r^{2} +m_{h} r^{2}

Where

md = 0.05 kg

mh = 0.12 kg

r = d/2 = 0.273/2 = 0.1365 m

I=\frac{0.05*(0.1365)^{2} }{2} +(0.12)*(0.1365)^{2} =2.7x10^{-3} kgm^{2}

The length of the boomerang is:

L_{b} =\sqrt{\frac{12I}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{12*2.7x10^{-3} }{0.245} } =0.364m

The strong nuclear force is ?
Zarrin [17]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The nuclear force is the strongest force in the universe. It is much more stronger than all the other forces and is 100 times stronger than the electric force.

The nuclear forces can be defined as the forces generated due to electron and protons in which the electrons have negative charge on it and the protons have positive charge on it.

Due to this force all the atoms and molecules, elements and compounds are held together.
