A person travels 1.5 km in 6 minutes, how fast were they traveling in meters per second?

1 answer:

Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

4.167m/sec

Explanation:

1km=1000m

1.5km=1500m

1min=60sec

6min=360sec

In 360sec they travel 1500m

In 1 sec they travel=1500m/360

1sec=4.167m

Are the two displacements equal? Explain your answer.

Sergeu [11.5K]

From the information given in the drawing, it's not possible
to tell whether the displacements are equal, because we
don't know what the vectors represent.

If the vectors are distances, then the displacements are not
equal, because the distance between the start and end points
are not equal.

If the vectors are speeds, then they don't tell us anything about
the distance between the start and end points, so we can't calculate
the displacements.

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a

KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) $0.80 kg$

b) $2.12 s$

c) $1.093 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$k=7 N/m$ is the spring constant

$A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m$ is the amplitude of oscillation

$V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s$ is the velocity of the block when $x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m$

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

$U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2}$ is the initial potential energy

$K_{o}=0$ is the initial kinetic energy

$U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}$ is the final potential energy

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ is the final kinetic energy

Then:

$k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$ (2)

Isolating $m$ :

$m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}}$ (3)

$m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}}$ (4)

$m=0.80 kg$ (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period $T$ is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}}$ (7)

$T=2.12 s$ (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration $a_{max}$ is when the force is maximum $F_{max}$ , as well :

$F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max}$ (9)

Being $x_{max}=A$

Hence:

$m.a_{max}=kA$ (10)

Finding $a_{max}$ :

$a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m}$ (11)

$a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg}$ (12)

Finally:

$a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}$
