20 POINTS 20 POINTS On a bright sunny day you decide to take a walk. You begin at your home and walk 1000 meters to an ice cream

shop in 10 minutes. You spend 15 minutes ordering your ice cream and then return home. Since you have an ice cream cone in your hand, it takes 20 minutes to walk home. 1. Find the total displacement and total distance traveled. 2. Find your average speed and average velocity in meters/min. 3. Find your average speed and average velocity in meters/sec.

Answer:

A) Total Distance = 2000 m and Total displacement = 0 m

B) Average Speed = 44.44 m/min and Average Velocity = 0 m/min

C) Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s and Average velocity = 0 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance to reach ice cream shop from home = 1000 meters

Therefore distance to get back home would also be 1000 meters.

Total distance traveled = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 metres

Since journey started at home and ended at home, then total displacement = 0 metres.

B) Average speed = Total distance/total time.

Total time = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 minutes

Since total distance = 2000 m

Then;

Average speed = 2000/45

Average speed = 44.44 m/min

Average velocity = Total displacement/total time

Average velocity = 0/45 = 0 m/min

C) We now want answers in B to be in m/s.

Total time = 45 minutes.

From conversion, 60 seconds make 1 minute. Thus, 45 minutes = 45 × 60 = 2700 seconds

Thus;

Average Speed = 2000/2700

Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s

Average displacement = 0/2700 = 0 m/s

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at lif

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

Explanation:

$v(t)=-gt-v_e\times \ln \frac{m-rt}{m}$

v = velocity of rocket at time t

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.8 m/s^2$

$v_e$ = Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.

m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg

r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s

Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'

Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:

$v(60)=-9.8 m/s^2\times 60 s-2,900m/s\times \ln (\frac{29,000 kg-170 kg/s\times 60 s}{2,9000 kg})$

$v(60) = 668.97 m/s$

Height of the rocket = h

$Velocity=\frac{Displacement}{time}$

$668.97 m/s=\frac{h}{60 s}$

$h=668.97 m/s\times 60 s=40,138.2 m = 40.1382 km$

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s

Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2$

where $v$ and $v_0$ are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}$

where $x,x_0$ are the final/initial displacements, and $t,t_0$ are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at $t_0=0\,\mathrm s$ . Then

$\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t$

So we have

$x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m$

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

$v=v_0+at$

then solve for $x$ via

$x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2$

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of $a$ anyway.

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas ( $H_2$ ) react with molecules of oxygen gas ( $O_2$ ) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water ( $H_2O$ ).

The governing equation for the reaction is

$2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O$

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of $H_2$ and 1 mole of $O_2$ reacts to produce 2 moles of $H_2O$ .

As the mass of 1 mole of $H_2 = 2$ grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of $O_2 = 32$ grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of $H_2O = 18$ grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of $H_2$ + mass 1 mole of $O_2$

$= 2 \times 2 + 32$ [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

$=4+32 = 36$ grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of $H_2O$

$=2\times 18$ [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

If a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528 Hz and also produces an overtime with a frequency of 1,056 Hz this over

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I have a hunch that you're not talking about overtime
OR overtune. I think you're going for overtone .

For a fundamental frequency of 528 Hz,
1,056 Hz is the second harmonic.
