In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)

s = 800\,m

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

A car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.83 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a
timama [110]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.988 meters per second.

Explanation:

The tangential speed experimented by the tack (v), measured in meters per second, is equal to the product of the angular speed of the wheel (\omega), measured in radians per second, and the distance of the tack respect to the rotation axis (R), measured in meters, length that coincides with the radius of the tire. First, we convert the angular speed of the wheel from revolutions per second to radians per second:

\omega = 2.83\,\frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev}

\omega \approx 17.781\,\frac{rad}{s}

Then, the tangential speed of the tack is: (\omega \approx 17.781\,\frac{rad}{s}, R = 0.393\,m)

v = \left(17.781\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (0.393\,m)

v = 6.988\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.988 meters per second.

A bullet is fired into the air at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. At the same time and from the same height,
enyata [817]

Answer:

The bullet that is fired will spend longer  in the air, hitting the ground after the  dropped bullet.

Explanation:

Using the equation: x =  x 0  +   v t

If we neglect the effects of air resistance, the horizontal motion is a constant velocity.

The horizontal displacement = (velocity X cosθ)

So, the fired bullet has to travel horizontally before falling which takes a  longer time compared to a bullet dropped where it is, height = 1/2 gt^2

gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2.
