On a straight road with the +x axis chosen to point in the direction of motion, you drive for 5 hours at a constant 20 miles per

hour, then in a few seconds, you speed up to 60 miles per hour and drive at this speed for 1 hour.
What was the x component of average velocity for the 6-hour period, using the fundamental definition of average velocity, which is the displacement divided by the time interval?

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph

The statement “When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.

An undamped 1.48 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 35.4 N/m. While oscillating, it is found to have a spe
givi [52]

Answer: 0.798 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the spring oscillator, m = 1.48 kg

Force constant of the spring, k = 35.4 N/m

Speed of oscillation, v = 3.9 m/s

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1.48 * 3.9²

KE = 0.5 * 22.5108

KE = 11.26 J

Using the law of conservation of Energy. The Potential Energy of the system is equal to Kinetic Energy of the system

KE = PE

PE = 1/2kx²

11.26 = 1/2 * 35.4 * x²

11.26 = 17.7x²

x² = 11.26 / 17.7

x² = 0.6362

x = √0.6362

x = 0.798 m
