A man jogs at a velocity of 2.5 m/s west for 1,200 s. He then walks at a velocity 1.0 m/s east for 500 s and then stops to rest

. What is the displacement of man when he stops to rest?

Speed of man towards West =2.5 m/s

Time to travel in the given direction = 1200 s

Total displacement towards west

$d_1 = v_1 t$

$d_1 = 2.5 \times 1200 = 3000 m$

Now speed of man towards East = 1 m/s

time to travel in east direction = 500 s

total displacement towards East

$d_2 = v_2 t$

$d_2 = 1 \times 500 = 500 m$

Now total displacement will be

$d = d_1 - d_2$

$d = 3000 - 500 = 2500 m$

so it is 2500 m towards west

A 20.6 g marble sliding to the right at 59.6 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.3 g marble moving in the same dir

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:29.8 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of marble A is $m_a=20.6\ gm$

Initial velocity of marble A is $u_a=59.6\ cm/s$

mass of marble B is $m_b=10.3\ gm$

Initial velocity of marble B $u_b=14.9\ cm/s$

After collision marble B moves with velocity of $v_b=74.5\ cm/s$

Conserving momentum

$m_au_a+m_bu_b=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

$20.6\times 59.6+10.3\times 14.9=20.6\times v_a+10.3\times 74.5$

$v_a=\frac{20.6\times 59.6-10.3(74.5-14.9)}{20.6}$

$v_a=29.8\ cm/s$

A bathtub has 62.7 kg of water at 31.0

Bogdan [553]

m = mass of water in bathtub = 62.7 kg

$T_{ti}$ = initial temperature of water in tub = 31 c

M = mass of water added = ?

$T_{ai}$ = initial temperature of water added = 76 c

T = final equilibrium temperature of the system = 40.3 c

c = specific heat of water = 4186

Using conservation of heat

Heat gained by water in tub = Heat lost by water added

m c (T - $T_{ti}$ ) = M c ( $T_{ai}$ - T)

m (T - $T_{ti}$ ) = M ( $T_{ai}$ - T)

(62.7) (40.3 - 31) = M (76 - 40.3)

M = 16.3 kg

An airplane travels 2400 km at a speed of 600 km/h, decreases its speed to 400 km/h for the next 1200 km and travels the last 2,

Alexus [3.1K]

Forget the numbers and think about how speed works for a second. If a plane flies at 600km/h, this means that it will fly exactly 600 km in 1 hour. So, how long would it take to fly 2400 km??

2400/600 = 4hours.

Do this for all three and add up the hours.

Total time: 12 hours

Average speed is the total distance / total time.

So,

Add up all the distances and divide by 12.

(2400+1200+2500) / 12

Average speed: 508.33333333 km/h

An astronaut holds a rock 100 m above surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upwards with a sleek of 15m/s. The rock reach

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: $5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

This problem is related to vertical motion, and the equation that models it is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0m$ is the rock's final height

$y_{o}=100 m$ is the rock's initial height

$V_{o}=15 m/s$ is the rock's initial velocity

$\theta=90\°$ is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)

$t=10 s$ is the time

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

Isolating $g$ and taking into account $sin(90\°)=1$ :

$g=(-\frac{2}{t^{2}})(y-y_{o}-V_{o}t)$ (2)

$g=(-\frac{2}{(10 s)^{2}})(0 m-100 m-(15 m/s)(10 s))$ (3)

$g=5 m/s^{2}$ (4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X
