Difference between constant speed and average speed

1 answer:

8 0

If a body is traveling with constant speed , it means that it's distance is constantly increasing with time.

If it goes 5m in 3min , it will go 5m in next 3 min.

Average velocity is the total displacement divided by total time.

When the body travels 5m in 3 min and 25 m in next 3min , average velocity
=(25+5)/(3+3)
=30/6
=5m/min

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind

Vilka [71]

There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
$F_f = \mu N$
where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
$F=\mu N$
since we know that F=300 N and $\mu=0.3$ , we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N$

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is $\mu=0.03$ due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N$

The search for black holes involves searching for The search for black holes involves searching for Group of answer choices sing

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Large spherical regions from which no light is detected

Explanation:

A black hole is an object that has an extremely high density such that it possesses very powerful gravitational force that prevents the escape of all objects including light from it, and consumes nearby objects.

Due to the power of the gravitational force of a black hole, at the center, objects are infinitesimally compressed resulting in the inapplicability of the concept of space and time and the location is known as a singularity

Therefore, the search for black holes involves searching for <em>large spherical regions from which no light is detected</em>.

Point masses m1 m2 are placed at opposite ends

tiny-mole [99]

(a) $x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Moment of Inertia of m₁ about the axis, I₁ = m₁x²

Moment of Inertia of m₂ about the axis. I₂ = m₂ (L - x)²

Kinetic energy is rotational.

Total kinetic energy is $E = \frac{1}{2} I_1w_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}I_2w_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} w_0^2(m_1x^2 + m_2(L-x)^2)$

Work done is change in kinetic energy.

To minimize E, differentiate wrt x and equate to zero.

$m_1x - m_2(L-x) = 0\\\\x = \frac{m_2L}{m_1+m_2}$

Alternatively, work done is minimum when the axis passes through the center of mass.

Center of mass is at $\frac{m_2L}{m_1 + m_2}$

What is the acceleration??????

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: Acceleration is a measure of how fast velocity changes. Acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the change of time. Acceleration is a vector, and therefore includes both a size and a direction. In short, acceleration is the rate at which speed changes.
