A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 60.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di

rection at another constant speed. The average velocity for the entire trip is 30.0 mi/h. (a) What is the constant speed with which the car moved during the second distance d

Answer:

velocity during second d = 20.0 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance travelled is 2d, with an average velocity of 30.0 mi/h you can express the time travelled in terms of d:

distance = velocity * time

time = distance / velocity

time = 2d/30.0

The time needed for the first d at 60.0 is:

time = d/60.0

The time in the second d you can get it by substracting both times (total time - time for the first d)

second d time = 2d/30.0 - d/60.0

= 4d/60.0 - d/60.0

= 3d/60.0

and with the time (3d/60.0) and the distance travelled (d) you can get the velocity:

velocity = distance / time

velocity = d / (3d/60.0)

= 60.0/3 = 20.0 mi/h

Driving along in your car, you take your foot off the gas, and your speedometer shows a reduction in speed. Describe an inertial
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  v ’= v + v₀

a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

In an inertial reference frame the speed of the vehicle is given by the Galileo transformational

          v ’= v - v₀

where v 'is the speed with respect to the mobile system, which moves with constant speed, v is the speed with respect to the fixed system and vo is the speed of the mobile system.

The vehicle's speedometer measures the harvest of a fixed system on earth, in this system v decreases, for a system where v 'increases it has to be a system in which the mobile system moves in the negative direction of the x axis, whereby the transformation ratio is

        v ’= v + v₀

Such a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

Find the wavelength in meters for a transverse mechanical wave with an amplitude of 10 cm and a radian frequency of 20π rad/s if
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 10 cm

Radial frequency \omega = 20\pi\ rad/s

Bulk modulus = 40 MPa

Density = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the velocity of the wave in the medium

Using formula of velocity

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{\rho}}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{40\times10^{6}}{10^3}}

v=200\ m/s

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{v\times2\pi}{\omega}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{200\times2\pi}{20\pi}

\lambda=20\ m

Hence, The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.
