Answer:

c. 4 meters/second

Explanation:

The formula to calculate average speed is:

$s = \frac{x_{2} - x_{1} }{ t_{2} - t_{1} }$

Answer:

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

Explanation:

As we know that the air friction or resistance due to air is neglected then we can use the equation of kinematics here

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

since we released it from rest so we have

$v_i = 0$

so here we have

$v_f = \sqrt{2gd}$

now if the distance is double then we have

$v_f' = \sqrt{2g(2d)}$

now from above two equations we can say that

$v_f' = \sqrt2 v_f$

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

At what distance between two objects would you have the greatest gravitational force

Alla [95]

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers. So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules

Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c

eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

$X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t$

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

$X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t$

Clearing for time,

$t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}$

$t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}$

$t = 0.1s$

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

$a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}$

Then

$F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}$

$F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

$F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}$

$F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}$

$F = -384000N$

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax$

$0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)$

$a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}$

$a=480m/s^2$

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

$a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}$

$a = 53.3g$
