Answer:
8.89 m/s
Explanation:
rate = distance/time
40m/4.5 sec = 8.8888889 m/s
Answer:
Sound will travel the slowest in Air
Explanation:
The higher the m/s is, the faster the sound travels
<u>Answer</u>
Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.
<u>Explanation</u>
The time taken by the car to reach at the door.
Time = distance / time
= 22/13
= 1.6923 seconds
Time taken by the door to close up to the height of the car.
Distance the door has to move to prevent the car from escaping = 9.1.4 = 7.6 m
From newton's 2nd law of motion;
s = ut + 1/2 gt²
7.6 = 0.6t + 1/2 × 10t²
7.6 = 0.6t + 5t²
50t² + 6t - 76 = 0
Solving this quadrilatic equation,
t = 28.537 seconds
Answer: Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.
Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let
be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as,
= S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
