Speed is (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

"Faster" means he covered more distance in less time.

On a graph of distance/time, the speed is the slope of the line,
because the slope of the line is just

(change in distance) divided by (change in time) .

In 'A', the runner went to the middle of the track (20 yards)
before the race started. Then, when the coach fired the pistol,
he took 4 seconds to run the last half of the track.
The slope is (20 yards) / (4 seconds) = 5 yards per second.

In 'B', the runner started at the starting line (zero distance), and when the
race started, he ran 30 yards in 4 seconds.
The slope is (30 yards) / (4 seconds) = 7.5 yards per second.

In 'C', the distance doesn't change at all. The runner went to the 40-yards
place before anybody started running, and just stayed there.
The slope is (zero) / (4 seconds). That's zero yards per second.
The runner is not running at all. He's just standing there, watching
the other runners run toward him.

In 'D', the runner went to the 20-yard mark before the race started,
just like 'A' did. When the pistol fired and the clock started, 'A' and 'D'
were both standing there, and started running.
'D' only ran 10 yards in the whole 4 seconds.
'B' got there at the same time that 'D' did, but 'B' ran 40 yards,
and 'D' only ran 10 yards.
The slope of 'D' is (10 yards) / (4 seconds) = 2.5 yards per second.

Graph 'B' is the steepest line, and that means the fastest speed.

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee

lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is $-27.3\hat{i}$

y component of vector is $43.6\hat{j}$

so position vector is

$r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}$

Magnitude of vector is

$|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}$

$|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}$

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

$tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597$

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

$180-\theta =57.94$

$\theta =122.06^{\circ}$

A fish swims 12.0 m in 5.0 s. It swims the first 4.0 m in 2.0 s, the next 3.0 m in 1.2 s, and the last 5.0 m in 1.8 s. What is t

xz_007 [3.2K]

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.

Average velocity = distance / time

Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s

Anna [14]

Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

$F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B
