Answer: 3.75 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed is distance covered per time taken.

If the time interval is from t = 2 to t = 10s

Then, the time taken will be

t = 10 - 2 = 8s

Given that the distance covered are 10 + 8 - 2 + 10

Since distance is a scalar quantity, we will only consider the magnitude and not the direction.

Total distance = 10 + 8 + 2 + 10 = 30m

Average speed = total distance/time

Substitute total distance and time into the formula

Average speed = 30/8

Average speed = 3.75 m/s

A child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.22 m/s. At what final speed wo

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

v'=5.97 m/s

Explanation:

If the friction and fluid friction are ignored, then by law of conservation of mechanical energy, potential energy at the top of the slide must be equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide. Thus, the height of slide and final speed at the bottom of the slide are related as:

$mgh = \frac {1}{2} mv^2\\v =\sqrt{2gh}$

let the final speed be v' when h' = 2 h

$\frac{v'}{v}=\frac{\sqrt h'}{\sqrt h}\\v'=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{h}}\times v\\v'=\sqrt2 v\\v'=5.97 m/s$

A playground merry-go-round of radius r = 2.00 m has a moment of inertia = 250 ⋅ , and is rotating at 10.0 rev/min about a frict

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$330kgm^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius,r=2 m

Moment of inertia,I=250 $kgm^2$

Angular velocity, $\omega_1=10 rev/min$

Mass of child,m=20 kg

We have to find the new moment of inertia of the merry go round.

New moment of inertia , $I'=mr^2+I$

Using the formula

$I'=20(2)^2+250$

$I'=80+250=330kgm^2$

Hence, the new moment of inertia of the merry -go-round= $330kgm^2$

PLS HELP ME<br> How does one stage in a stars life lead to another

Oxana [17]

Just as during formation, when the material contracts, the temperature and pressure increase. This newly generated heat temporarily counteracts the force of gravity, and the outer layers of the star are now pushed outward ( in not sure tho ) I hope this helps
