A sprinter runs 50m. You are given a stopwatch. Describe how you would measure: 1. the average speed of the sprinter over the en

tire 50m
2. the instantaneous speed of the sprinter when he crosses the finish line

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance = 50 m

1. To find the average speed, first start the stop watch as the sprinter starts running and then stop it when he reaches the finish line.

Now note the time taken by the sprinter to run for 50 m.

The average speed of the sprinter is defined as the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken.

Average speed = total distance / total time

2. To find the instantaneous speed, check the seed of the sprinter as he is at the finish line.

Arthur conducts a controlled experiment several times. The results of each test show that his hypothesis is not supported. Which
sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

You move a 25 N object 5 meters. How much work did you do ?
olga55 [171]
The answer is 125 Joules

The first thing to take note of is the work equation: W=F×D

Since we already have our force and our distance that will help make this problem easier.

So, W=25*5

W=125

Therefore, our answer is 125 Joules since work is measured in joules

Hope this helped!! :)

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec
