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 wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second increases speed at a constant rate of 2.4 meters per second^2 for
Usimov [2.4K]
Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m 
Hope the answer helps.

A truck has shock absorbers with a spring constant of 24200 N/m. When it hits a bump, it oscillates at 0.429 Hz. What is the mas
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3331.5 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant of the spring (k) = 24200 N/m

Frequency of oscillation (f) = 0.429 Hz

Let the mass be 'm' kg.

Now, we know that, a spring-mass system undergoes Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The frequency of oscillation of SHM is given as:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Rewrite the above equation in terms of 'm'. This gives,

2\pi f=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\Squaring\ both\ sides,\ we\ get:\\\\(2\pi f)^2=\frac{k}{m}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2 f^2}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'm'. This gives,

m=\frac{24200\ N/m}{4\pi^2\times (0.429\ Hz)^2 }\\\\m=\frac{24200\ N/m}{4\pi^2\times 0.184\ Hz^2}\\\\m\approx3331.5\ kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 3331.5 kg.
