Answer:
Straight line parallel to time axis.
Explanation:
The slope of the position time graph gives the velocity.
As the man is still, that means the velocity is zero. So, the slope of the graph is zero. It is a straight line parallel to time axis.
Answer:
59.4 meters
Explanation:
The correct question statement is :
A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?
Solution:
We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,
S=rθ
This gives
θ=S/r
also we know angular velocity
ω=θ/t where t is time
or
θ=ωt
and we know
1 revolution =2π radians
From this we have
angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec = 1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec
Putting values of ω and time t in
θ=ωt
we have
θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec
θ= 396 radians
We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)
put this value of θ and r in
S=rθ
we have
S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m
Answer:
KE = 0.5 * m * v², where: m - mass, v - velocity.
Explanation:
In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s 2.
Answer:
a) about 20.4 meters high
b) about 4.08 seconds
Explanation:
Part a)
To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.


In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:

Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:

Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)

To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:

Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:
1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and
2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:
