Answer: 17 m/s

Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. Let leftwards be defines as negative and rightwards as positive direction.

It is given that canoe is drifting left with a velocity of u=-7 m/s

The canoe rider is moving towards right with a constant acceleration, a=6 m/s^2

we need to find the velocity of canoe after 4 s.

we will use the equation of motion:

v=u+at

where, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Insert the values in the above equation:

\Rightarrow v=-7m/s+6 m/s^2 \times 4 s=24m/s-7 m/s=17 m/s

Hence, velocity of canoe after 4 s would be 17 m/s.

A automotive test driver travels due north in a prototype hybrid vehicle at 30 mi/h
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Option A. 40 mi/h

Explanation:

To obtain the average speed of the vehicle, we'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by the vehicle in each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1:

Speed = 30 mi/h

Time = 2 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

30 = Distance /2

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 2

Distance = 60 mi

Case 2:

Speed = 60 mi/h

Time = 1 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

60 = Distance /1

Cross multiply

Distance = 60 × 1

Distance = 60 mi

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the vehicle as follow:

Total distance travelled = 60 + 60

Total distance travelled = 120 mi

Total time = 2 + 1

Total time = 3 h

Average speed =..?

Average speed = Total Distance travelled /Total time

Average speed = 120/3

Average speed = 40 mi/h

Therefore, the average speed of the vehicle is 40 mi/h

From the ground an object is vertically thrown upwards with an angle of theta.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

u/2 √(1 + 3 cos² θ)

Explanation:

The object is thrown at an angle θ, so the velocity has two components, vertical and horizontal.

Initially, the vertical component is u sin θ and the horizontal component is u cos θ.

At the maximum height, the vertical component is 0 and the horizontal component is u cos θ.

The mean vertical velocity is:

(u sin θ + 0) / 2 = u/2 sin θ

The mean horizontal velocity is:

(u cos θ + u cos θ) / 2 = u cos θ

The net mean velocity can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = (u/2 sin θ)² + (u cos θ)²

v² = u²/4 sin² θ + u² cos² θ

v² = u²/4 (1 − cos² θ) + u² cos² θ

v² = u²/4 (1 − cos² θ) + u²/4 (4 cos² θ)

v² = u²/4 (1 − cos² θ + 4 cos² θ)

v² = u²/4 (1 + 3 cos² θ)

v = u/2 √(1 + 3 cos² θ)

If a 375 mL sample of water was cooled from 37.5 C to 0 C how much heat was lost in joules?
Leviafan [203]
Please, you have to apply the formula below:

<span>Q=c∗m∗Δt

</span><span> where Q is the energy lost,
 
c is the specific heat of water,
 
m is the mass of water involved,

so m=3.75 *10^-1 Kg
 
c=4,184 J/(Kg*°C)

<span>delta t=37.5 °C

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
