Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

v_i = v_o

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

v_f = v_1

after another 120 s let the speed will be

v_f' = v_2

now we know that

d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)

d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)

1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)

also we know that

v_1 - v_o = a(80)

also we have

1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)

1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)

now we can say

(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}

also we know

v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)

-8.33 = 200 a

a = -0.042 m/s^2

Part b)

now we have

v_1 + v_o = 25

v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)

v_1 = 10.83 m/s

so the starting velocity of the trip is

v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

v_2 = v_o + at

v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)

v_2 = 5.77 m/s

Which part of the wave is changed when there is interference?
Rasek [7]
When 2 waves interefere (or collide with eachother), it usually affects the crest of the wave. If both waves collide with both crests, it will create an amplified crest, and the waves will pass through eachother afterwards. If a trough of a wave meets a crest, it will cause the crest to be lowered shortly before both continue on.

11) A man is on a 1/4 on a bridge. A train is coming the same direction he is going. The man can run across the bridge in the sa
lesya692 [45]

15mph

If the man turns and runs toward point A, he will cover

3/8 of the length of the bridge in the time that it takes

the train to reach A.

If the man runs forward toward point B, what part of the bridge

will he cover before the train reaches A? Well, he will cover

3/8 of the bridge, only heading forward toward B. This will put

him 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 of the way across the bridge by the

time the train reaches A.

since we know that the man and the train will meet at B, this

means that in the time it takes the man to run the remaining

1/4 of the bridge, the train will cover the entire length of

the bridge.

If it takes the man the same time to cover 1/4 of the bridge

that it takes the train to cover the whole bridge, then the train

must be going four times as fast as the man. Another way of saying

this is that the man runs at 1/4 the speed of the train.  

Since the train's speed is known to be 60 mph, this means that

the man runs at (1/4) 60 = 15 mph.

If Bert the Bat travels East at 200 meters in 10 seconds, what is his velocity?
dexar [7]

Answer:

20m/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement eastward  = 200m

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by time;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

 Velocity  = \frac{200}{10}    = 20m/s due east

A 5.00-kg object is attached to one end of a horizontal spring that has a negligible mass and a spring constant of 280 N/m. The
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

1) v = 0.45 m/s

2) v = 0.65 m/s

3) v = 0.75 m/s  

Explanation:

1) We can find the speed of the object by conservation of energy:

E_{i} = E_{f}

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

k: is the spring constant = 280 N/m

v: is the speed of the object =?

m: is the mass of the object = 5.00 kg

x: is the displacement of the spring

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.08 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}                              

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.08 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.45 m/s

2) When the object is 5.00 cm (0.050 m) from equilibrium, the speed of the object is:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}    

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.05 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}      

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.05 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.65 m/s      

 

3) When the object is at the equilibrium position, the speed of the object is:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}    

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}      

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.75 m/s

I hope it helps you!
