What is the definition of speed and the formula for calculation?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right

V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

g: Gravitational Acceleration

θ: Angle with the vertical

N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R

vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

vi^2 = vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

vi^2 = 22.744

vi = 4.77 ft/s

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 m/s and having a monument at 7.1 kg meters per second

adell [148]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.47 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object given it's momentum and velocity can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

where

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

We have

$m = \frac{7.1}{15} \\ = 0.4733333...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A man starts walking from home and walks 2 miles at 20° north of west, then 4 miles at 10° west of south, then 3 miles at 15° no

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a) R = 2.5 mi b) To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or θ = 98º

This is 8º north west

Explanation:

This is a distance exercise with vectors the best way to work these is to decompose the vectors and perform the sum on each axis separately

To use the Cartesian system all angles must be measured from the positive side of the x-axis or the signs of the components must be assigned manually depending on the quadrant where they are.

First vector A = 2 to 20º north west

Measured from the positive x axis is θ = 180 -20 = 160º

We use trigonometry to find the components

Cos 20 = Aₓ / A

sin 20 = $A_{y}$ / A

Aₓ = A cos 160 = 2 cos 160

$A_{y}$ = A sin160 = 2 sin160

Aₓ = -1,879 mi

$A_{y}$ = 0.684 mi

Second vector B = 4 mi 10º west of the south

Angle θ = 270 - 10 = 260º

cos 2600 = Bₓ / B

sin 260 = $B_{y}$ / B

Bₓ = B cos 260

$B_{y}$ = B sin 260

Bₓ = 4 cos 260

$B_{y}$ = 4 sin 260

Bₓ = -0.6946mi

$B_{y}$ = - 3,939 mi

Third vector C = 3 mi to 15 north east

cos 15 = Cₓ / C

sin15 = $C_{y}$ / C

Cₓ = C cos 15

$C_{y}$ = C sin15

Cₓ = 3 cos 15

$C_{y}$ = 3 sin 15

Cₓ = 2,898 mi

$C_{y}$ = 0.7765 mi

Now we can find the final position of the person

X = Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ

X = -1.879 -0.6949 + 2.898

X = 0.3241 mi

Y = $A_{y}$ + $B_{y}$ + $C_{y}$

Y = 0.684 - 3.939 +0.7765

Y = -2.4785 mi

a) We use Pythagoras' theorem

R = √ (x2 + y2)

R = √ (0.3241 2 + (-2.4785) 2)

R = 2.4996 mi

R = 2.5 mi

b) let's use trigonometry

Tan θ = y / x

Tanθ = -2.4785 / 0.3241

θ = tan⁻¹ (-7,647)

θ = -82

Measured from the positive side of the x axis is Te = 360 - 82 = 278º

(90-82) south east

To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or Te = 98º

This is 8º north west
