A train leaves the station heading south on the tracks. It takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour. It completes the entire 1

00 mile trip in 2 hours. Calculate the trains average speed and velocity over the two hour trip. Show your work. Identify each of the measurements are a ascalr or vector.

Well, in order to figure out the answer is to divide until you figure out how many miles they went per second. If it takes 5 seconds to reach 50 miles per hour it took 10 seconds per every 10 miles meaning each mile took 1 second. (Not actually possible but the answer) So, If it finished a 100 mile trip in 2 hours it took an hour for 50 miles. If it took 1 hour for 50 miles divide 60/50 which gets you 1.2 so it took 1.2 miles per minute meaning the car went 120 miles per hour I believe. I hope this helps :)

Answer:

Average speed is 50 mph

Average velocity is -50 mph . It is negative since it is towards south.

Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector. So for a vector, both magnitude and direction should be specified.

Average speed is the total distance over total time taken . So it is 100 miles over 2 hours which gives 50 mph.

Average velocity has the same magnitude and is also 100miles over 2 hours but it is negative since velocity is a vector and it is directed towards south.

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.
