First you need to find out how many kilometers it travels for 60 minutes:
15km*60minutes = 900 Kilometers
Then you divide the distance traveled in one hour by 12 :
900kilometers/12minutes = 75km/h or 47mph

Speed equals distance divided by time. 15km divided by 12 minutes equals 1.25 km/minute.

Darius' boat sails into the harbor with a speed of 80m/s. After 20 seconds, Darius' boat has come to a stop at the dock. What is

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of acceleration and how to calculate acceleration when the speed is provided. Hence, the formula for acceleration would be used here.

Acceleration (m/s²) = speed (in m/s) ÷ time (in seconds)

Acceleration = 80 m/s ÷ 20 secs

Acceleration = 4 m/s² or 4 ms⁻²

The boat's acceleration is 4 m/s²

2) Two railway tracks are parallel to west east direction. Along one track, train A moves with a speed of 45 m/s from

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$

Explanation:

Given

$V_A = 45m/s$

$V_B = 60m/s$

Required

Determine the speed of B w.r.t A

The question implies that, we determine the relative velocity of B w.r.t A

Because both trains are moving towards one another, the required velocity is a $sum\ of\ velocities\ of$ both trains:

This is shown below:

$Relative\ Velocity = V_A + V_B$

$Relative\ Velocity = 45m/s + 60m/s$

$Relative\ Velocity = 105m/s$

Question 2 (1 point)

mixer [17]

Answer:

The initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height of the table, h = 0.55 m

horizontal distance traveled by the tennis, x = 0.12 m

Apply the following kinematic equation;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

where;

u is the initial vertical velocity = 0, since the tennis ball rolled off the edge of a table.

h = ¹/₂gt²

The time to fall from the vertical height is given by;

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2(0.55)}{9.8} }\\\\t = 0.335 \ s$

The initial horizontal velocity of the tennis is given by;

x = vₓt

vₓ = x / t

vₓ = (0.12) / (0.335)

vₓ = 0.358 m/s

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity is zero, u = 0 m/s and initial horizontal velocity, vₓ is 0.358 m/s

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m

forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing $=\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec$

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

So $1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230$

Squaring both side

${\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529$

$g=5.718m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$
