At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt

on which you can either stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 120 m and is moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 72 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 120 m using the speed ramp?

Answer:

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line is:

x = x0 + v * t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, we will consider the start of the ramp as the origin of our reference system so that x0 = 0.

Now, let´s calculate the speed of the person walking on the ground:

x = v * t

120 m = v * 72 s

v = 120 m / 72 s

v = 1.7 m/s

If you walk on the ramp with that speed, your total speed will be your walking speed plus the speed of the ramp because both are in the same direction. Then, using the equation for the position:

x = v * t

In this case, v = speed of the ramp + walking speed

v = 2.2 m/s + 1.7 m/s = 3.9 m/s

120 m = 3.9 m/s * t

t = 120 m / 3.9 m/s = 30.8 s

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.

Charlie Brown kicks a football at 24.5 m/s at 35.0. What is the maximum height of the ball?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

d = 10.076 m

Explanation:

We need to obtain the velocity of the ball in the y direction

Vy  = 24.5m/s * sin(35) = 14.053 m/s

To obtain the distance, we use the formula

vf^2 = v0^2 -2*g*d

but vf = 0

d = -vo^2/2g

d = (14.053)^2/2*(9.8) = 10.076 m

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field B with a velocity v at right angles to the field. It moves in a circle with p
alukav5142 [94]

A) d. 10T

When a charged particle moves at right angle to a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude os given by

F=qvB

where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the particle in a circular motion - so we can write

qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}

which can be rewritten as

v=\frac{qB}{mr}

The velocity can be rewritten as the ratio between the lenght of the circumference and the period of revolution (T):

\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{qB}{mr}

So, we get:

T=\frac{2\pi m r^2}{qB}

We see that this the period of revolution is directly proportional to the mass of the particle: therefore, if the second particle is 10 times as massive, then its period will be 10 times longer.

B) a. f/10

The frequency of revolution of a particle in uniform circular motion is

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Therefore, if the period of the more massive particle is 10 times that of the smaller particle:

T' = 10 T

Then its frequency of revolution will be:

f'=\frac{1}{T'}=\frac{1}{(10T)}=\frac{f}{10}

PHYSICS PLEASE HELP
vaieri [72.5K]

1.)Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity so it may be either positive or negative. As per convention, acceleration taken as positive when moves downward direction. But, in our case, acceleration towards downward taken as negative, so displacement should also be negative because negative sign only indicate its downward direction.

2.) Answer

The correct answer is C. The time won't change, but horizontal distance will double.

Explanation:

First case

velocity = v = 20 m/s

Height = h = 10 m

We need to calculate time (t) and horizontal distance (x)

using 2nd equation of motion

h = vt + 0.5 gt²

As initial vertical velocity is 0. So

h = 0.5(9.8)t²

It can be see that time does not depends on initial velocity, so it won't change

to calculate x

x = vt

It can be see that horizontal distance will double because depends on velocity.

3.)Question

Illustration:

Day 1: 10 km west and spent night at A.

Day 2: 10 km west and night in a tent B.

Day 3: 20 km west and then they turned around and went back to the home because Jerry left his allergy medicine.

Day 4: 30 km North to the point D.

Answer

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

On Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3, they move towards west 40 km from home and then turned back to home because Jerry forget his medicine. Thus the total distance is 80 km but the displacement is zero because displacement is the measure from initial to final position. As initial and final position is same at the end of 3rd day so displacement is zero. Fourth day, They move towards north 30 km and hence total distance is 110 km. And total displacement is only 30 km.

4.) Answer:

The correct Answer is A.

Explanation:

To calculate horizontal distance (x), we only need to find the horizontal component of velocity that is

vₓ = v Cos (70°)

vₓ = 41 m/s

As we know that x = vₓ t

So,

x = 41t

5.) Answer

The correct Answer is B.

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity so it depends on direction. As Sally moves 10m forward and then 5m backward, So his total displacement is 5m. While the distance is scalar quantity independent of direction. So the total distance covered by Sally is 15m which is 10m greater than the displacement.  

6.)Answer

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Consider

horizontal(h)= 6m

vertical = Xm

Hypotenuse(H) = ?

Angle = 37°

As we know that

H×Cos∅ = h

So,

H = h ÷ Cos(∅)

  = 6 ÷ Cos(37)

H = 7.5 m    

7.) Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

In projectile motion, horizontal distance depends on initial velocity and angle with ground. So as the player increase the velocity of the ball, more distance will be covered. As far as he increase the angle upto 45° with the ground, the horizontal distance will increase. That's why the player should increase the ball's initial velocity and kick it at a 45° angle.

8.)Answer:

The correct Answer is B.

Explanation:

Consider

Vector A  = 3m

Vector B  = 4m

Angle = ?

As the angle ∅ is created between vectors C and A.

we know that

tan∅ = vertical ÷ horizontal

tan∅ = 4 ÷ 3

∅ = tan⁻¹ (1.33)

∅ = 53.1°

9.) Answer:

The correct Answer is C.

Explanation:

Projectile motion depends on initial velocity and initial angle with ground. As far as we increase the velocity of the ball, more distance will be covered. As it also depends on angle, So as far as we increase the angle up to 45° with the ground, the horizontal distance will increase. But when the angle is above 45°, increasing angle decrease the horizontal distance.

10.) Answer:

The correct Answer is B.

Explanation:

Given data :

∅ = 20°

initial velocity = 40 m/s

As we need to find the vertical component of velocity

So, initial upward velocity = initial velocity × Sin∅ = 40 × Sin 20°

             initial upward velocity = 13.68 m/s

11.)Answer:

The correct Answer is B.

Explanation:

The projectile motion depends on the angle with the horizontal.As far as we increase the angle up to 45° with the ground, the distance will increase. But when the angle is above 45°, increasing angle decrease the horizontal distance.

12.) Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Given data

Initial speed = V₀ =40 m/s

angle = 60°

g = 9.81 m/s²

First we need to find initial vertical velocity (V)

V = V₀ Sin∅

V = 34.64 m/s

3rd equation of motion

2gh = V₁² - V²

As we need to find maximum height so at highest point vertical final velocity (V₁) = 0

So,

h = V² ÷ 2g

 = 34.64² ÷ 2×9.81

                              h = 61.2 m

13.) Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

A bird flying in the air is 3D motion as the bird move up, down, right, left all the possible direction. A leaf falling from a tree is also a 3D motion because a leaf never fall in absolute vertical manner. A lady bug crawling on a soccer ball also 3D. If lady bug crawling on a plane like floor then it is 2D but now lady bug crawling on soccer ball which is in spherical shape so it is also 3D motion. Only train travelling along a track is 2D because train cannot move up and down and the track of train is in a plane. So it is 2D motion.

Hi i have homework can you help me
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Explanation:

The particle will be at rest when its velocity v(t) is equal to zero. Recall that the velocity is simply the derivative of the position x(t) with respect to time:

v(t) = \dfrac{dx}{dt}

Since x(t) = t^2 - 2t + 2

then

v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}(t^2 - 2t + 2) = 2t - 2 = 0

Solving for t, we find that the particle will be at rest at

t = 1\:\text{s}
