Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

A 72-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.61 m,
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
KIM [24]

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o
Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

1) How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?
dlinn [17]
The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to thetemperature. An increase intemperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. Allgases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lightergas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
