On a cross-country trip, a couple drives 500 mi in 10 h on the first day, 380 mi in 8.0 h on the second day, and 600 mi in 15 h

Zepler [3.9K]

We know that the average speed is simply the ratio of the total distance travelled over the total duration of the trip.

total distance = 500 mi + 380 mi + 600 mi

total distance = 1,480 mi

total time = 10 h + 8 h + 15 h

total time = 33 h

So the average speed is therefore:

average speed = 1,480 mi / 33 h

<span>average speed = 44.85 mi / h</span>

A car traveling at 60km/h undergoes uniform acceleration at a rate of 2/ms^2 until is velocity reached 120km/h determine the dis

jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s

Acceleration, a = 2m/s²

Final speed, v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance.

acceleration = rate of change of velocity

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{33.33 -16.67 }{2}\\\\t=8.33\ s$

let the distance be d.

$d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\frac{33.33^{2}-16.67^{2}}{2(2)}\\\\d=208.25\ m$

Hence, the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance is 208.25 m and 8.33 seconds respectively.

A police officer is called to the scene of a car accident in his accident he sketches the scene and describes it according to hi

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The driver was not telling the truth because it is not possible for a car to hit another car from behind and generate a force to the sides that deflects it from its path.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the driver's statement.

The driver when arriving at the curve, is collided from behind by another car and deviates from his path and crashes into a tree. For the car to go to the tree there must be a force towards the tree.

The net force that causes the car to deviate must be formed by the sum of the motion vector of the first car plus the force that is directed towards the tree.

Here we verify that a car hitting from behind will not generate a force to the sides, but will generate a force in the same direction that the car moves, forward.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where:

$v_y$ is the vertical velocity at time t

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

$v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s$

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

$v_x = 5 m/s$
