A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

$v_1=89km/h$

$t_1=30min$

$v_2=100km/h$

$t_2=12min$

$v_3=40km/h$

$t_3=45 min$

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute= $\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour$

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance= $speed\times time$

$d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km$

$d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km$

$d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km$

Total distance= $d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km$

Average speed= $\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}$

Using the formula

Average speed= $\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h$

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

When the spring, with the attached 275.0 g mass, is displaced from its new equilibrium position, it undergoes SHM. Calculate the

topjm [15]

Answer:

The period of oscillation is 1.33 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 275.0 g

Suppose value of spring constant is 6.2 N/m.

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Where, m = mass

k = spring constant

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.2}{275.0\times10^{-3}}}$

$\omega=4.74\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the period of oscillation,

Using formula of time period

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{4.74}$

$T=1.33\ sec$

Hence, The period of oscillation is 1.33 sec.

A mover brings a box up the stairs in 10 seconds. If he applied a force of 20 N over a distance 10 m on the box, calculate the p

Softa [21]

Answer:

20 Watts

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (20 N) (10 m)

W = 200 Joules

Power = work / time

P = 200 J / 10 s

P = 20 Watts

The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper e

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the central shaft rotates , the seat along with passenger also rotates . Their rotation requires a centripetal force of mw²R where m is mass of the passenger and w is the angular velocity and R is radius of the circle in which the passenger rotates.

This force is provided by a component of T , the tension in the rope from which the passenger hangs . If θ be the angle the rope makes with horizontal ,

T cos θ will provide the centripetal force . So

Tcosθ = mw²R

Tsinθ component will balance the weight .

Tsinθ = mg

Dividing the two equation

Tanθ = $\frac{g}{\omega^2R}$

Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .
