A jogger runs 6 km north ,5 km east then another 4km north her average speed 8 km how long will it take her to complete her run

Physics
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
8 0

The time taken to complete her run is 1.9 hr.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed is a scalar quantity and it is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. As distance is also a scalar quantity, so the directions given in the problem can be ignored. Thus, the distance covered by the jogger is the sum of kilometers given in problem.

Distance covered = 6+5+4 = 15 km

And the speed is given as 8 km/hr.

So the time taken will be ratio of distance to speed.

\text { time }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {speed}}=\frac{15}{8}=1.9 \text { hour }

So the jogger will take 1.9 hr to complete her run.

A car travels from Boston to Hartford in 4 hours. The two cities are 240 kilometers apart. What was the average speed of the car
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hour

Explanation:

When we need to calculate average speed, we use this equation:

V = \frac{x_{f} - x_{o}}{t_{f} - t_{o}}

Where:   x_{o} = 0 km   position at the beginning

              x_{f} = 240 km   at the end

              t_{o} = 0 hours

              t_{f} = 4 hours

Then:     V = \frac{240 km - 0 km}{4 hours - 0 hours}

              V = \frac{240 km}{4 hours}

Finally    V = 60 km/hour

Johnson made a hole at the bottom of a plastic bottle containing water. However, he noticed that the water did not flow out from
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

  • a) See explanation below

  • b) At X.

Explanation:

Please, see the picture attached with the image of the plastic bottle for this question.

<u>(a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle.</u>

What makes the water flow out of the botlle is the force of gravity, whic attracts the water towards the Earth.

When Johnson made a small hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle containing water, the air outside the bottle, which surrounds it and exerts a pressure all over the outer walls of the bottle, exerted a force against the small area of water "over" the hole that is in contact with the air.

Thus, this force of the air pushing upward through the wall opposed the force of gravity pulling downward making the net force zero and the water cannot fall.

<u>(b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?</u>

You must open the hole at a place where there is not water but air, such that the outer air can enter in the bottle.

That will make that the pressure in the space over the water inside the bottle be equal to the pressure outside.

The pressure of the air above the water will push it downward. Now, the force from the pressure of air inside the water, which is downward, opposes the upward force from the pressure of air around the first hole, and the net force will be downward, making the water flow out more easily.

Thus, the position where he should make the second hole in order for the water to flow fastest is at X.

Your lab instructor has asked you to measure a spring constant using a dynamic method—letting it oscillate—rather than a sta
yuradex [85]

Answer:

  k = 6,547 N / m

Explanation:

This laboratory experiment is a simple harmonic motion experiment, where the angular velocity of the oscillation is

         w = √ (k / m)

angular velocity and rel period are  related

         w = 2π / T

substitution

         T = 2π √(m / K)

in Experimental measurements give us the following data

  m (g)     A (cm)    t (s)   T (s)

  100        6.5         7.8    0.78

  150        5.5          9.8   0.98

   200      6.0        10.9    1.09

   250       3.5        12.4    1.24

we look for the period that is the time it takes to give a series of oscillations, the results are in the last column

        T = t / 10

To find the spring constant we linearize the equation

        T² = (4π²/K)    m

therefore we see that if we make a graph of T² against the mass, we obtain a line, whose slope is

         m ’= 4π² / k

where m’ is the slope

           k = 4π² / m'

the equation of the line of the attached graph is

       T² = 0.00603 m + 0.0183

therefore the slope

       m ’= 0.00603  s²/g

    we calculate

         k = 4 π² / 0.00603

          k = 6547 g / s²

we reduce the mass to the SI system

         k = 6547 g / s² (1kg / 1000 g)

         k = 6,547 kg / s² =

         k = 6,547 N / m

let's reduce the uniqueness

         [N / m] = [(kg m / s²) m] = [kg / s²]
