Answer:

<u>The car's average speed is 32 kilometers per hour</u>

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

First two hours = 60 kilometers

Next two hours = 68 kilometers

2. What is the car's average speed?

Total distance traveled by the car = 60 + 68

Total distance traveled by the car = 128

Total time of travel = 2 + 2 hours

Total time of travel = 4 hours

Average speed = Total distance/Total time

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Average speed = 128/4

<u>Average speed = 32 kilometers per hour</u>

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes

Alchen [17]

<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=54.5m/s$ is the projectile's initial speed

$\theta=35\°$ is the angle

$t=2.80s$ is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

$x$ is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)

$y$ is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

$x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)$ (3)

$x=125m$ (4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

$y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$y=48.308m$ (6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2,400kg * m/s

Explanation:

You are missing some information in the question but the rest could be found some where else.

The question gives the masses and starting velocity of each car.

Car 1: m = 600kg and sv = 4m/s

Car 2: m 400kg and sv = 0m/s

Find the momentum of both cars.

Car 1: 600 * 4 = 2400

Car 2: 400 * 0 = 0

Add both.

2400 + 0 = 2400

Best of Luck!

A rabbit is moving in the positive x-direction at 1.10 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 10.9 m/s al

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

aₓ = 0 , ay = -6.8125 m / s²

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve with kinematics equations.

Initially the rabbit moves on the x axis with a speed of 1.10 m / s and after seeing the predator acceleration on the y axis, therefore its speed on the x axis remains constant.

x axis

vₓ = v₀ₓ = 1.10 m / s

aₓ = 0

y axis

initially it has no speed, so v₀_y = 0 and when I see the predator it accelerates, until it reaches the speed of 10.6 m / s in a time of t = 1.60 s. let's calculate the acceleration

$v_{y}$ = v_{oy} -ay t

ay = (v_{oy} -v_{y}) / t

ay = (0 -10.9) / 1.6

ay = -6.8125 m / s²

the sign indicates that the acceleration goes in the negative direction of the y axis

65. The weight of a body when totally immersed in a liquid is 4.2N if he weight of the liquid displaced is 2.5N. Find the weight

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Given, Apparent weight(W₂)=4.2N

Weight of liquid displaced (u)=2.5N

Let weight of body in air = W₁

Solution,

U=W₁-W₂

W₁=4.2=2.5=6.7N

∴Weight of body in air is 6.7N
