Mrs. Smith does her daily chores. She walks 5 m to the laundry room and then turns around and walks -14 m to the kitchen. The wh

ole process takes her 11 minutes. What was her average velocity for these events?
1.48 m/s
0.212 m/s
-0.136 m/s
-0.0075 m/s

A spy is running across the bridge of an aircraft carrier. The spy is moving with a velocity of - 4 m/s relative to the carrier. However, the aircraft carrier is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s. There is a person standing stationary on a beach watching the event. What will be the velocity of the spy according to the person on the beach?
8 m/s
6 m/s
-4 m/s
-7 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity vs speed and distance vs displacement is a pretty important.  Distance and speed have no direction while displacement and velocity have a direction.

In other words, taking the first example, going 5m one way and then 14 the other would make the total distance 19m, while displacement would be -9m from where you started.  

Anyway, velocity is displacement divided by time.  For the first one I already got that the displacement is -9m, and the time is 11 minutes.  It's worth noting that the answers are all in m/s, so we should convert the minutes to seconds.  To do that multiply 11 minutes by (60 seconds/1 minute) so the minutes cancel out.  so 11*60 is 660 seconds.  Now, to find velocity we just divide.  -9m/660s = -.0136 Which... doesn't seem to be one of the options...

For the second part it gives two point of views.  If you were standing on the carrier, the spy would look like it was moving  4 m/s away from you, but the carrier itself is moving 12 m/s in the positive direction to an onlooker.  If it's hard to figure out try thinking what it would look like if the spy was just standing still.  it would look like they were moving -12 m/s if you were standing on the carrier.  Then if the spy was moving at say 1 m/s it would look like they were moving -11 m/s if you were standing on the carrier.  

Just keep that line of reasoning , where if it looks like the spy is moving -4 m/s from the carrier then the spy is moving 4 m/s slower than the carrier, so the spy is moving at 8 m/s

Pretty sure I got the first part right, so maybe a misprint from the question?

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

v_o is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

v_s is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, v_s is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since v_s is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.

A boy threw a ball upward and it took 3 sec to reach the highest point. Determine the initial velocity of the ball.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

V initial = 29.4 m.s²

Explanation:

( Using the laws of motion)

V final = V initial + Acceleration × time

0 = V initial + ( -9.8)(3)

29.4 = V initial

* I took upward as positive that's why I substituted -9.8 *

* for V final we know that at maximum height the ball is not moving thats why is = 0 *

Romeo (81.0 kg) entertains Juliet (53.0 kg) by playing his guitar from the rear of their boat at rest in still water, 2.70 m awa
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.64 m

Explanation:

The first thing is calculate the center of mass of the system.

X_{cm}= \sum_{n=1}^{n}\frac{X_n\times M_n}{M_n}

now multiplying every coordinate x by the mass of each object (romeo, juliet and the boat) and dividing all by the total mass  taking by reference the position of juliet.

X_{cm}=\frac{53\times0 +81\times2.7+79\times1.35}{53+81+79}

X_cm = 1.4589 m

When the forces involved are internals, the center of mass don't change  

After the movement the center of mass remains in the same distance from the shore, but change relative to the rear of the boat.

X_{cm}=\frac{79\times1.35+(81+53)\times2.7}{53+81+79}

X_cm= 2.10 m

this displacement is how the boat move toward the shore.

2.10-1.46= 0.64 m
