The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the
Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

  • the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

  • first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
  • first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
  • second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
  • second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
  • third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
  • fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
  • final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

  • This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
  • From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
  • Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of  line P.

                                                ↓end

                                                ↓

                                                ↓ 6cm

                                                ↓

  start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt  }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \  s} = 0.136 \ cm/s  \\\\

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 55 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistan
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

a) t =3.349 s

b) V_x,i = 44.8 m/s

c) V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

d)  V = 55.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Total throw in x direction x(f) = 150 m

- Total distance traveled down y(f) = 55 m

Find:

a) How long is the rock in the air in seconds.  

b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?

c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the rock hits the ground, in meters per second?

d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?

Solution:

- Use the second equation of motion in y direction:

                                 y(f) = y(0) + V_y,i*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- V_y,i = 0 (horizontal throw)

                                 55 = 0 + 0 + 0.5*(9.81)*t^2

                                 t = sqrt ( 55 * 2 / 9.81 )

                                 t =3.349 s

- Use the second equation of motion in x direction:

                                 x(f) = x(0) + V_x,i*t

                                 150 = 0 + V_x,i*3.349

                                  V_x,i = 150 / 3.349 = 44.8 m/s

- Use the first equation of motion in y direction:

                                 V_y,f = V_y,i + g*t

                                 V_y,f = 0 + 9.81*3.349

                                 V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

- The magnitude of velocity of ball when it hits the ground is:

                                 V^2 = V_y,f^2 + V_x,i^2

                                 V = sqrt (32.85^2 + 44.8^2)

                                 V = 55.55 m/s

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

allows for better thermal equilibrium

Explanation:

Due to the cone shape, most of the liquid will be closer to the bottom than the top.  The large surface area of the bottom allows for faster heating.
