For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

OB=0.40 km

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

OA=3.65 km

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.

An object traveling at 1.5 rad
Veronika [31]

The object's final velocity, given the data is 10.5 rad/s

<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>

This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as

a = (v – u) / t

Where

  • a is the acceleration
  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time

<h3>How to determine the final velocity</h3>

The following data were obtained from the question

  • Initial velocity (u) = 1.5 rad/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 0.75 rad/s²
  • Time (t) = 12 s
  • Final velocity (v) = ?

The final velocity can be obtained as follow:

a = (v – u) / t

0.75 = (v – 1.5) / 12

Cross multiply

v – 1.5 = 0.75 × 12

v – 1.5 = 9

Collect like terms

v = 9 + 1.5

v = 10.5 rad/s

Thus, the final velocity of the object is 10.5 rad/s

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?
Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.

An airplane has a speed of 135 mi/h in still air. It is flying straight north so that it is always directly above a north-south
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let vₐ be the speed of airplane = 135 mph, vₙ be the speed of the wind = 70 mph and vₐₙ be the speed of the airplane relative to the wind.

The distance (d) = 135 miles, Δt = 1 hour, vₐₙ = 135 miles / 1 hour = 135 mph

vₐ = vₙ + vₐₙ

vₐ = vₐₙ

Therefore, vₐ, vₐₙ, vₙ can be represented by an isosceles triangle since vₐ = vₐₙ.

The direction of the wind θ is:

sin(θ / 2) = vₙ / 2vₐ

sin(θ / 2) = 70/ (2*135)

sin(θ / 2) = 0.2593

θ / 2 = sin⁻¹(0.2593) = 15

θ = 30⁰

2α = 180° - 30°

2α = 150°

α = 75°

a) The direction of the wind is 75° in the south east direction while the airplane is heading 30° in the north east direction.
