an athlete runs 5.4 laps around a circular track that is 400.0 m long. If this takes 540 s, what is the average velocity of the

athlete? What is the average speed of the athlete over the complete distance of the run?

Answer:

Average velocity is 0.296 m/s.

Average speed is 4.0  m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the circular track is, D=400.0\ m

Number of laps ran is, n=5.4

Time taken for the run is, t=540\ s

Now, total distance covered in 5.4 laps = D_T=D\times n=400\times 5.4=2160\ m

Also, since the path is a circle, the final position of the athlete after 5.4 laps will be 0.4 of 400 m ahead of the starting point.

Distance covered in 0.4 laps is, \textrm{Displacemet}=0.4\times 400=160\ m

Therefore, the displacement of the athlete will be 160 m as the athlete is 160 m ahead of the starting point and displacement depends on the initial and final points only.

Now, average velocity is given as:

v_{avg}=\frac{\textrm{Displacemet}}{t}=\frac{160}{540}=0.296\ m/s

Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to total time taken.

So, average speed = \frac{D_T}{t}=\frac{2160}{540}=4\ m/s

An ideal gas in a piston is placed in a refrigerator, which removes 413 J of energy from the gas via cooling. The plunger on the
maria [59]

Answer:

The net change in the internal energy of the gas in the piston is -343J

Explanation:

Because heat and workdone are the only means of energy transfer between the system and the surrounding, change in internal energy is given by;

∆E = q + w

q = heat transfer

w = workdone

Because heat is lost by the system, the heat transfer is negative

q = -413J

Because work is done on the system, workdone is positive

w = +70J

∆E = -413J + 70J

∆E = -343J

Betty weighs 400 N and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.21 m above the ground. Tom pulls the swing back an
disa [49]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0

If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:

h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m

⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J

As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J

As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:

ΔK = Kf = \frac{1}{2} *m*vf^{2}  (1)

As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)

From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:

vf = \sqrt{\frac{2*352J}{40.8kg}} = 4.15 m/s

So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.

An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.0 cm thick. The inside
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Heat current through the insulator=196W

Electric power= 196W

Explanation: Given: Kglass = 0.040W/m

Temperature of inside glassTi=175°C

Temperature of outside glass To= 35°C

Area=1.4m^2 , L= 4×10^-2

Heat current(H)= K ×A× (Ti - To)/L

Substituting the values into the equation

H = 0.04 × K × 1.4 ×(175-35)/4×10^-2

H= 196W.

The electric power = Heat current =196W

The electric power is the magnitude of heat current

A pair of in-phase stereo speakers is placed side by side, 0.764 m apart. You stand directly in front of one of the speakers, 2.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

f = 2858.33 Hz

Explanation:

given,

distance between speaker (A) and the person = 2.34 m

Distance between speaker (B) and the person is AB =

            =\sqrt{(0.764)^2 + (2.34)^2}

            = 2.46 m

path difference d = BP - AP

                             = 2.46  - 2.34 m

                             = 0.12 m

now,    λ = 0.12

speed of sound =  343 m/s

    f= \dfrac{c}{\lambda}

    f= \dfrac{343}{0.12}

              f = 2858.33 Hz

the lowest frequency that will produce constructive interference is equal to

f = 2858.33 Hz

How do i solve the ones in red? A student fires a cannonball horizontally with a speed of 24.0m/s from a height of 51.0m. Neglec
Rus_ich [418]

Horizontal speed = 24.0 m/s

height of the cliff = 51.0 m

For the initial vertical speed will are considering the vertical component. Therefore,

Since the student fires the canonical ball at the maximum height of 51 m, the initial vertical velocity will be zero. This means

\text{ Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s}

let's find how long the ball remained in the air.

\begin{gathered} 0=51-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \\ 4.9t^2=51 \\ t^2=\frac{51}{4.9} \\ t^2=10.4081632653 \\ t=\sqrt[]{10.4081632653} \\ t=3.22 \\ t=3.22\text{ s} \end{gathered}

Finally, let's find the how far from the base of the building the ball landed(horizontal distance)

\begin{gathered} S_x=u_xt+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2 \\ S_x=24\times3.23 \\ S_x=\text{horizontal distance=77.28 m} \\ \text{note} \\ a_x=0m/s^2 \end{gathered}
