Answer:

(av + bu) miles

Explanation:

Average speed = distance/time

distance = time × average speed

distance from the starting point to the beginning of the opposite direction = a hours × v mph (mph is miles per hour) = av miles

distance from the opposite direction to the end = b hours × u mph = bu miles

distance from where he started to the end = (av + bu) miles

A 1500 kg elevator, suspended by a single cable with tension 16.0 kN, is measured to be moving upward at 1.2 m/s. Air resistance
kirill115 [55]

Tension in the Cable is 0.87 m/s6^2, Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m is 1.6*10^5 N, Work done by gravity is  1.47 * 10^3 N, Elevator Kinetic Energy is 13897.5J and Elevator Speed after rising to 10m is 4.312 m/s.

Tension is a pulling force that operates in one dimension along the cables' axes in the opposite direction from the direction of the applied force. The combined weight of the elevator box and the passenger riding inside it, in the case of an elevator, provides the pulling force in the cables is called Tension.

A moving object or particle's kinetic energy, which depends on both mass and speed, is one of its characteristics. The type of motion can be vibration, translation, rotation around an axis, or any combination of these. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an item or particle possesses as a result of motion.

We know that,

Tension in the Cable

T = m(g+a)  = g+a = T/m = 16 * 103 / 1500 = 10.67 m/s2

a = 10.67 - 9.8 = 0.87 m/s6^2

Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m.

U^2 = u^2 +2as

= 1.22 +2*0.87*10

=1.6*10^5 N

Work done by gravity  = mg * 10 = 14700 * 10 = 1.47 * 10^3 N

Elevator Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2*1500*18.53 = 13897.5J

Elevator Speed after rising to 10m ,

U^2 = u^2 +2as =  1.2 +2*0.87*10 = 18.6

U =(18.6)^1/2=4.312 m/s

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is t=0.00129 s

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

m=mass\ of\ ball

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum P_i=m\times u

Final momentum P_f=m\times v

Change in momentum \Delta P=P_i-P_f

Impulse    J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P

J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)

F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N

Radio waves of frequency 1.667 GHzGHz arrive at two telescopes that are connected by a computer to perform interferometry. One p
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

The frequency of radio waves is 1.667 GHz

One portion of the same wave front travels 1.260 mm farther than the other before the two signals are combined.

There are two conditions for interference either constructive or destructive.

For constructive interference , the path difference is n times of wavelength and for destructive interference, the path difference is (n+1/2) times of wavelength

We can find wavelength in this case as follows :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.667\times 10^9}\\\\\lambda=0.1799\ m

If we divide path difference by wavelength,

\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =\dfrac{1.26}{0.1799}\\\\\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =7\\\\\delta =7\lambda

It means that the path difference is 7 times of the wavelength. it means the two waves combine constructively and the value of m for the path difference between the two signals is 7.
