A commuting student leaves home and drives to school at an average speed of 39.0 km/h. After 23.0 min he realizes that he has fo

rgotten his homework and returns home to get it at the same average speed. It takes 10.0 min to find the report, after which the trip to school 39.0 km away to the east is resumed at the same speed as before. What is the average speed for the entire trip ? What is the average velocity for the entire trip?

Answer: $s_{avg}=\frac{117}{\frac{213}{60}}=32.95 km/h$

$v_{avg}=\frac{39}{\frac{213}{60}}=10.98 km/h$

Explanation:

Given

Distance between home and school is 39 km

Total time taken $=\frac{39}{39}+\frac{23}{60}+\frac{39}{39}+\frac{10}{60}+\frac{39}{39}$

i.e.

$t=3\times 60+23+10=213 min$

Total Distance traveled =39+39+39=117 km

displacement=39 km

Thus Average speed $=\frac{Distance}{Time\ taken}$

$s_{avg}=\frac{117}{\frac{213}{60}}=32.95 km/h$

Average velocity $=\frac{Displacemet}{Time\ taken}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{39\times 60}{213}=10.98 km/h$

Jerry the mouse is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 18 m/s. If a certain Tom cat wants to capture

Kruka [31]

Answer:

a) t = 1.75 s

b) x = 31.5 m

Explanation:

a) The time at which Tom should drop the net can be found using the following equation:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{oy}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = 0

y₀: is the initial height = 15 m

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v_{0y}$ : is the initial vertical velocity of the net = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$0 = 15m - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t^{2}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2*15 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.75 s$

Hence, Tom should drop the net at 1.75 s before Jerry is under the bridge.

b) We can find the distance at which is Jerry when Tom drops the net as follows:

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$x = v*t = 18 m/s*1.75 m = 31.5 m$

Then, Jerry is at 31.5 meters from the bridge when Jerry drops the net.

I hope it helps you!

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) $U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$ , b) $v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The potential energy is:

$U_{e} = Q \cdot \Delta V$

$U_{e} = (30\,C)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{9}\,V)$

$U_{e} = 3 \times 10^{10}\,J$

b) Maximum final speed:

$U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot U_{e}}{m} }$

The final speed is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (3 \times 10^{10}\,J)}{1000\,kg} }$

$v \approx 7745.967\,\frac{m}{s}$

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the pole, equator and the centre of the earth

fgiga [73]

Answer:

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
