While on a sailboat at anchor, you notice that 15 waves pass its bow every minute. The waves have a speed of 6.0 m/s . Part A Wh

Alchen [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)

A car travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. The car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous vel
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}

if a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 8080 ft/s, its height in feet after tt second is given
yanalaym [24]

The average velocity for the time period beginning when t=1 and lasting

(i) 0.01 seconds = 63.84 ft/s

(ii) 0.001 seconds = 63.984 ft/s

Given that a ball is thrown with an initial velocity = 80 ft/s

Let 'y' be the height in feet after 't' seconds.

Given,  y=80t-16t^2 gives the height in 't' seconds.

Average velocity = Rate of change of distance

                             = Change in distance/Change in time.

The initial time can be taken as 0 s.

When t =1 s, y = 80 - 16 = 64 ft

(1)  t = 0.01 s

    y = 80 x 0.01 - 16 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.7984 ft

    Average velocity = (64 - 0.7984) / (1 -0.01) = 63.84 ft/s

(2) t = 0.001 s

    y = 80 x 0.001 - 16 x 0.001 x 0.001 = 0.079984 ft

    Average velocity = (64 - 0.079984) / (1 -0.001) = 63.984 ft/s

Please help! This is due tomorrow and I absolutely need help.
zysi [14]

Answer:

Correct answer:  11. Total distance d = 200m ; 12. Vav = 3.63m/s ;

13. Total displacement Dt = 0m ; 14. V₂(10s-15s) = 0 m/s ;

15. V₃(15s-40s) = 4 m/s ; 16. V₁(0s-10s) = 6 m/s > V₄(40s-55s) = 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

The whole movement can be divided into four stages.

In the first stage the subject moves 60m in a positive direction for 10s,

in the other it is stationary for 5s, in the third it moves 100m in the opposite (negative) direction for 25s and in the fourth in the positive 40m for 15s.

11. Total distance = 60 + 0 + 100 + 40 = 200m

12. The formula for calculating the average speed (velocity) is

Vav = (S₁ + S₂ + S₃ + S₄) / (t₁ + t₂ + t₃ + t₄)

Vav = (60 + 0 + 100 + 40)/ (10 + 5 + 25 + 15) = 200/55 = 3.63 m/s

13. The movement started from the origin and ended at the origin

Total displacement is zero meters.

14. The speed between 10s and 15s is zero, because he did not move.

15. V₃ = S₃/t₃ = 100/25 = 4 m/s

16. V₁ = S₁/t₁ = 60/10 = 6 m/s   and V₄ = S₄/t₄ = 40/15 = 2.67 m/s

V₁ > V₄

From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init
Talja [164]

Answer:

\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.
