Answer:

a) The average velocity is 32 m/s

b) See the attached figure. Slope of the line = 32.

Graphic: a line that passes through the points (0; 50) and (5; 210)

Explanation:

a) The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = ΔX / Δt

where

ΔX : displacement ( final position - initial position)

Δt : time (final time - initial time)

Considering the origin of the reference system as the position where the observer is:

ΔX = 210 m - 50 m = 160 m

Δt  = 5 s

v = 160 m / 5 s = 32 m/s

b) In the graphic position vs time, plot a line that passes through the points (0, 50) (because at time 0, the car is 50 m away from you, the center of the reference system) and (5, 210). The x-axis, time, is in seconds and the y-axis, position, in meters. The slope of the line is calculated as:

slope = (X₂ - X₁) /(t₂ - t₁) = (210 - 50) / (5 - 0) = 32. Then, the velocity is equal to the slope of the line. See the attached figure.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels
Crank

Answer:

v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}

And in the case of vertical v_{avg}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

where y_{tot} is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height H with initial velocity v_0 is given by:

y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when y'(t)=0, and it is

t=\frac{v_0}{g}

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2

y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}

y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another t_0 to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0

where t_0 is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2

we solve for t_0 using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

Therefore the total time is

t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}}

Now the average velocity is

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }

\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 4.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at
AlekseyPX

(a) The time the baseball spends in the air is 0.92 s.

(b) The horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground is 3.1 m.

<h3>Time spent in air by the baseball</h3>

h = vt - ¹/₂gt²

-2.1 = (4.05 x sin 34)t  - ¹/₂(9.8)(t²)

-2.1 = 2.26t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 2.26t - 2.1 = 0

t = 0.92 s

<h3>Horizontal distance traveled by the baseball</h3>

R = Vx(t)

R = (4.05 x cos 34)(0.92)

R = 3.1 m

Thus, the time the baseball spends in the air is 0.92 s.

The horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground is 3.1 m.

Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 500 m du
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bee starts fly 500 m due east, 430 m west and 670 m east.

The direction of the bee

500 m in positive direction

430 m in negative direction

670 m in positive direction

We need to calculate the net distance

Using formula of distance

D=500-430+670

D=740\ m

Hence, The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.
