Stan is driving north on his scooter at 8m/s, accelerates 11m/s (North) in 4s, drives a constant velocity for the next 15s, and

then comes to stop in 7s.
A) calculate stan’s accelerator for each segment of the motion.

b) find the result displacement after 26s.

c) calculate stan’s average velocity

A) Acceleration: a_1 = 0.75 m/s^2, a_2 = 0, a_3 = -1.57 m/s^2

B) The total displacement is 209.5 m north

C) The average velocity is 8.06 m/s north

Explanation:

A)

Acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Here we have:

- In the first  segment,

u = 8 m/s north

v = 11 m/s north

t = 4 s

So the acceleration is

a_1 = \frac{11-8}{4}=0.75 m/s^2 (north)

- In the second segment, Stan drives at a constant velocity: so the final velocity is equal to the initial velocity,

u = v

Therefore, the acceleration is zero: a_2 = 0

- In the third segment,

u = 11 m/s (north)

v = 0 (he comes to a stop)

t = 7 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{0-11}{7}=-1.57 m/s^2

And the negative sign means the acceleration is south, opposite to the direction of motion.

B)

In a uniformly accelerated motion, the displacement can be calculated as:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

- For the first segment, we have

u = 0\\a = 0.75 m/s^2\\t=4 s

So the displacement is

s_1 = 0+\frac{1}{2}(0.75)(4)^2=6 m

- For the second segment, we have

u = 11 m/s\\a = 0\\t=15 s

So the displacement is

s_2 = (11)(15)+0=165 m

- For the third segment, we have

u = 11\\a = -1.57 m/s^2\\t=7 s

So the displacement is

s_3 = (11)(7)+\frac{1}{2}(-1.57)(7)^2=38.5 m

So the total displacement is:

s = 6 m + 165 m + 38.5 m = 209.5 m

In the north direction (positive direction)

C)

The average velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total displacement

t is the total time

Here we have:

d = 209.5 m

t = 26 s

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{209.5}{26}=8.06 m/s (north)

1. Which Law? When you are standing up in a subway train, and the train suddenly stops, your body continues to go forward.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. Law 1, since there is no other force acting on your body as you stand there, so you will continue to go forward.

2. Law 3, since the swimmer is using opposite forces to propel herself through the water. She generates a force by pushing the water which helps to push her forward.

3. Law 2, since you are giving the motorcycle more energy as a result of the gas being transformed into the energy that helps to accelerate the motorcycle's speed.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

In regards to mechanical energy, is energy being conserved ?
xxTIMURxx [149]

If only internal forces are doing work (no work done by external forces), then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved. ... In these situations, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy is everywhere the same.

kramer

Answer: because of air resistance. See explanation for further details.

Explanation: Galileo performed an experiment to proof that the time of descent of two different masses is independent of time.

But in reality this is most likely not true because of air resistance and other fluid frictional effects in consideration.

If the experiment is performed in a vacuum, it will always be true that time is independent of masses of two falling objects.
