a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest stage

b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage

c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage

d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of 5.67 m/s at some instant. After 7.3 seven seconds, it's velocity is 8.04 mi

inessss [21]

I dont have a calculator but the equation for average acceleration is a=(change in velocity)/time. Subtract the intial velocity by the final and divide that by time

A) Using Excel, or some other graphing software, plot the values of y as a function of x. (You will not submit this spreadsheet.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

y = 1.06 x + 0.14

r² = 0.95

Explanation:

a) To make this graph, a spreadsheet-type calculation program is used, see attached.

On the y axis are the measured values

On the x-axis, the values checked in the experiment are placed.

From the graph we see that a linear graph and that one of the values has a strong deviation with respect to the others

b) The red line is the best straight line that can be drawn,

for this the quality ajust is r²

the closer to 1 the better the fit

the equation of the line is

y = 1.06 x + 0.14

r² = 0.95

A 26.0-kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 11.0 m th

frozen [14]

Answer:

18 m/s

Explanation:

Force is given by mass × acceleration

F = ma

a = F/m

For the first 11.0 m, there is no friction. Hence, the constant force is applied fully on the crate. The acceleration is

a = 225/26.0 m/s²

By the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the distance travelled.

Using the values for the first part of the motion,

v² = 0² + 2 × 8.65 × 11.0

v = 13.8 m/s

This is the initial velocity for the second part of the motion. This part has friction of coefficient 0.20.

The frictional force = 0.20 × weight = 0.20 × 26.0 × 9.8 = 50.96 N

The effective force moving the crate in the second motion = 225 - 50.96 N = 174.04 N

This gives an acceleration of 174.04/26.0 = 6.69 m/s².

Using parameters for the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

v² = 13.8² + 2 × 6.69 × 10 = 324.24

v = 18 m/s

If an object is dropped from a tall building and hits the ground 3.0 s. later, what is the magnitude of the object's displacemen

marin [14]

Find the velocity of the object after one second.

v = vo + at

v = (0 m/s) + (9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)

v = 9.8 m/s

Now, using that, you can find the displacement in that one second between 1 and 2.

d = vot + (1/2)at^2

d = (9.8 m/s)(1 s) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(1 s)^2

d = 14.7 m
