A student throws a baseball at a large gong 52 m away and hears the sound of the gong 1.73333 s later. The speed of sound in air

is 330 m/s.
What was the average speed of the base- ball on its way to the gong? (For simplicity, assume its trajectory to be a straight line.)

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

Explanation:

Distance = speed * time

Given , the distance traveled by the baseball = 52 m

Speed of sound in air = 330 m/s

Total time  = 1.73333 s .

Total time for the student to hear the sound of the gong is the sum of the time take for the baseball to reach the gong and the time taken by the sound to travel back.

Distance traveled by the sound is 52 m and the speed is 330 m/s

So time taken by the sound to travel back = distance traveled / the speed

=> time = 52/330 s = 0.15757 s

Time taken by the base ball to reach the gong is the total time - the time taken by the sound

=> time taken by base ball = 1.73333 - 0.15757 = 1.57576s

Speed of the base ball to reach the gong = distance / time

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-> of magnitude 4.8
n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.

When you and a friend move a couch to another room you exert a force of 75 N over 5m how much work will you do
sesenic [268]

The work done is 375 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force in moving an object is given by

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem,

F = 75 N is the force applied to the couch

d = 5 m is the displacement

Assuming the force applied to the couch is parallel to the motion, \theta=0

And so, the work done is

W=(75)(5)(cos 0)=375 J

A pendulum is lifted to a certain height and then released, which causes the
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Answer is C

Explanation:

Let's say the pendulum starts swinging from its max height from the left. It then will go down and reach the equilibrium position, this will make it lose GPE while gaining KE (the loss in GPE = gain in KE). At the equilibrium position it has the max KE (max velocity) and minimum GPE. After passing the equilibrium it then starts to head up to the max height on the right, the pendulum gains GPE while losing KE and at the top will have minimum KE while having max GPE. Meaning throughout its joruney the total energy remains constant as
Total energy = KE + GPE

I have attached a simple diagram below, the y axis is the energy and x axis being the time (where t = 0 is the pendulum starting from max height left of the equilibrium). The green curve the the GPE and blue curve is KE. Red line shows that at all times the energy is constant.
