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 Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400 m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.4 m/s2 is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s2
padilas [110]

Answer:

Winner wins by 0.969 s

Explanation:

For the Porche:

Given:

Displacement of Porsche s = 400 m

Acceleration of Porsche a = 3.4 m/s^2

From Newton's second equation of motion,

s = ut + (1/2) a t^2 (u = 0 as the car was initially at rest)

Substituting the values into the equation, we have

t^2 = (2 * 400) / 3.4

= 235.29 / 3.4

t = 15.33 s

For the Honda:

Displacement of Honda = 310 m

Acceleration of Honda = 3 m/s^2

Applying Newton's second equation of motion

s = ut + (1/2) a t^2 (u = 0 for same reason)

Substituting the values into the equation, we obtain

t^2 = (2 * 310) / 3

= 620 / 3

t = 14.37 s

Hence

The winner (honda) wins by a time interval of = 15.33 - 14.37    

=0.969 s

A sailboat is heading directly north at a speed of 20 knots (1 knot 50.514 m/s). the wind is blowing toward the east with a spee
stellarik [79]
(a) The magnitude of the wind as it is measured on the boat will be the result of the two vectors. Since they are at 90°, the resultant can be determined by the Pythagorean theorem.
 
                   R = sqrt ((20 knots)² + (17 knots)²)
                    R = sqrt (400 + 289)
                      R = 26.24 knots

The direction of the wind will have to be angle between the boat and the resultant.
                   cos θ = (20 knots)/(26.24 knots)
                        θ = 40.36°

Hence, the direction is 40.36° east of north.

(b) As stated, the wind is blowing in the direction that is to the east. This means that it only has one direction. Parallel to the motion of the boat, the magnitude of the wind velocity will have to be zero.

Frost wedging happens when _____.
KiRa [710]

Answer: water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break

Weathering is a natural process in which the rocks break into pieces or sediments by the action of wind, water and chemical agents. Frost wedging is a physical weathering process. It occurs in an area where temperature fluctuations occurs due to change in the climatic conditions. This occurs due to rapid heating and cooling. The rocks lying in a cold environment, the water residing in the rocks gets freezed. The water in ice form that is solid form acquire more space than in liquid form, therefore, the developed ice will affect the physical structure of the rock. The formation of ice results in the development of break or crack in the rock typically in the shape of a wedge and thus the phenomena is called as frost wedging.

Hence, frost wedging happens when water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break.
