A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
1 answer:
Answer:
Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction
Explanation:
the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)
And the change in time:
Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:
Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.
Thus, the speed is:
An the velocity is:
6cm/s in the negative direction

Answer:
When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.
Explanation:
Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s
Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m
Time
Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds
Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s
Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds
Acceleration = -9.81m/s²
Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²
s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m
Height of throw = 1.4 m
Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m
Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m
When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.
Answer:
51.96 m/s^-1
Explanation:
a) see the attachment
b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be
v_ox=v_o*cosФ
=60*cos (30)
= 51.96 m/s^-1
