A student walks to the right 25-m along the 800 hall in 15-s. They turn around and walk 15-m to the left in 8.0-s. Calculate the

average speed and the average velocity
Physics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Total distance covered  = 25 + 15 = 40 m

Total time = 15 + 8 = 23 s

Average speed = total distance covered / total time

= 40 / 23

= 1.74 m / s

Total displacement = 25 - 15 = 10 m

Total time = 15 + 8 = 23 s

Average velocity = total displacement / total time

= 10 / 23

= .434 m / s to the right .

The student soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

v2 = 27.3m/s

Explanation:

Assuming forward as positive.

Mass = m1 = 64kg

Let v be the common velocity of the student and the skateboard.

mass of skateboard = m2 = 5.94kg

v = 1.4m/s

Since the skateboard and the student are initially moving together at the same velocity their momentum together is

(m1 + m2)v

Let the final velocity of the student be v1 and the final velocity of the skateboard be v2

v1 = – 1.0m/s (falls backwards that's why the velocity is negative since we are assuming forward as positive)

Then from conservation of momentum, momentum before is equal to momentum after.

(m1 + m2)v = m1v1 + m2v2

m2v2= (m1 + m2)v – m1v1

v2 = ( (m1 + m2)v – m1v1)/m2

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 – 64×(-1.0))/5.94

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 + 64×1.0)/5.94

v2 = 27.3m/s

H20 (water) is an example of a __, as it is made up of two elements.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3 if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is I and amplitude is A, then

I=kA^2, where, k is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}

I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2

Plug in kA^2 for I. This gives,

\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of \sqrt3.
