If you walk 3 kilometers in 30 minutes , what is the average speed in kilometers per hour?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

6 km/h

Explanation:

V avg = ∆x/∆t = 3km / 30 min ×(60min/1h) = 3 km× 2 /h = 6 km/h

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}$

$\omega = 8.78 rad/s$

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

$v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}$

$0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}$

$A = 0.066 m$

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

$v_{max} = A\omega$

$v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s$

Point charge q1 of 30 nC is separated by 50 cm from point charge q2 of -45 nC. As shown in the diagram, point a is located 30 cm

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

E1 = 2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C

Explanation:

E1 = kQ1/r^2

=8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2

= 2996.667N/C

E2 = kQ2/r^2

= 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2

= 11237.5N/C

The direction are towards the point a

The ice skaters partner liftes her up a distance of 1 m work done or not work done

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Work done.

Explanation:

The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.

(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)
