Answer:

The total time is: t=451.22 sec

The average speed is: V=34.57 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed

The average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by an object (x) by the total time it took it to travel that distance (t).

$\displaystyle V=\frac{x}{t}$

Since the student makes the trip in two parts, we have to calculate the total distance and the total time.

We know the distance to school is 7.8 Km = 7,800 m. The student makes his way home over the same distance, thus the total distance is

x=2*7,800 m=15,600 m

The first trip to school was done at an average speed of v1=32.6 m/s. Knowing the distance and speed, we can calculate the time:

$\displaystyle t1=\frac{x1}{v1}=\frac{7,800}{32.6}=239.26\ sec$

The second trip back home was done at an average speed of v2=36.8 m/s. Let's calculate the second time:

$\displaystyle t2=\frac{x2}{v2}=\frac{7,800}{36.8}=211.96\ sec$

The total time is:

$t=239.26\ sec+211.96\ sec=451.22\ sec$

$\boxed{t=451.22\ sec}$

The average speed is:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{15,600}{451.22}=34.57\ m/s$

$\boxed{\displaystyle V=34.57\ m/s}$

Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 168 cm , but its circumference is decreasi

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

103.1 V

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial circumference=C=168 cm

$\frac{dC}{dt}=-15cm/s$

Magnetic field,B=0.9 T

We have to find the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop after exactly time 8 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease.

Magnetic flux= $\phi=BA=B(\pi r^2)$

Circumference,C= $2\pi r$

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

$r=\frac{168}{2\pi}$ cm

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\frac{dC}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\pi}(-15)=-\frac{15}{2\pi} cm/s$

$\int dr=-\int \frac{15}{2\pi}dt$

$r=-\frac{15}{2\pi}t+C$

When t=0

$r=\frac{168}{2\pi}$

$\frac{168}{2\pi}=C$

$r=-\frac{15}{2\pi}t+\frac{168}{2\pi}$

E= $-\frac{d\phi}{dt}=-\frac{d(B\pi r^2)}{dt}=-2\pi rB\frac{dr}{dt}$

$E=-2\pi(-\frac{5}{2\pi}t+\frac{168}{2\pi})B\times -\frac{15}{2\pi}$

t=8 s

B=0.9

$E=2\pi\times \frac{15}{2\pi}\times 0.9(-\frac{15}{2\pi}(8)+\frac{168}{2\pi})$

$E=103.1 V$

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal

Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

$\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j$

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

$v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so $v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}$ , and the horizontal distance x that it covers after time t is

$x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t$

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

$103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s$

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time t is

$v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt$

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

So, the initial velocity vector is

$\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j$

which carries an initial speed of

$\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

and direction θ such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}$

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height y at time t is

$y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2$

so that when it lands in the seats at t ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

$y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}$

PLEASE PROVIDE EXPLANATION. THANK YOU!!

Ksju [112]

Answer:

11,000 kg

(a) 11.2 m/s

(b) 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(2200 kg) (60.0 km/h) + m (0 km/h) = (2200 kg) (10 km/h) + m (10 km/h)

132,000 kg km/h = 22,000 kg km/h + m (10 km/h)

110,000 kg km/h = m (10 km/h)

m = 11,000 kg

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(m) (-v) + (2m) (5v) = (m) (v₁) + (2m) (v₂)

-mv + 10mv = m v₁ + 2m v₂

9mv = m (v₁ + 2 v₂)

9v = v₁ + 2 v₂

Since the collision is elastic, kinetic energy is also conserved.

½ m₁u₁² + ½ m₂u₂² = ½ m₁v₁² + ½ m₂v₂²

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = m₁v₁² + m₂v₂²

(m) (-v)² + (2m) (5v)² = m v₁² + (2m) v₂²

mv² + 50mv² = m v₁² + 2m v₂²

51mv² = m (v₁² + 2 v₂²)

51v² = v₁² + 2 v₂²

We know v = 1.60 m/s. So the two equations are:

14.4 = v₁ + 2 v₂

130.56 = v₁² + 2 v₂²

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

130.56 = (14.4 − 2 v₂)² + 2 v₂²

130.56 = 207.36 − 57.6 v₂ + 4 v₂² + 2 v₂²

0 = 6 v₂² − 57.6 v₂ + 76.8

0 = v₂² − 9.6 v₂ + 12.8

v₂ = [ 9.6 ± √(9.6² − 4(1)(12.8)) ] / 2(1)

v₂ = 1.6 or 8

If v₂ = 1.6 m/s, then v₁ = 14.4 − 2 v₂ = 11.2 m/s.

If v₂ = 8 m/s, then v₁ = 14.4 − 2 v₂ = -1.6 m/s.

We know v₁ can't be -1.6 m/s, since that would mean puck A didn't change speeds after the collision. Therefore, v₁ = 11.2 m/s and v₂ = 1.6 m/s.
