Given that,

bug speed, v= 0.85 m/s

time, t =42 s

Final position of bug on meter stick was 27 cm

Starting position of bug on meter stick = ?

Since we know that,

s = vt

s= 0.85*42 = 35.7 cm

this is the distance covered by bug in the given time and velocity.

since the bug is moving in negative direction, starting point will be:

27.0 cm+ 35.7 cm = 62.7 cm

The bugs starting position on meter stick was 62.7 cm.

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 4 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 60 mm?
jok3333 [9.3K]
V = [4/3]π r^3 => [dV / dr ] = 4π r^2

[dV/dt] = [dV/dr] * [dr/dt]

[dV/dt] = [4π r^2] * [ dr/ dt]

r = 60 mm, [dr / dt] = 4 mm/s

[dV / dt ] = [4π(60mm)^2] * 4mm/s = 180,955.7 mm/s
