1-A train travels 100 km to reach town A in one hour and 15 min. The train stops at station A for 45 minutes. Then it travels 15

kirill [66]

Answer 1) : 62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Explanation:

1) Displacement of the train = 100 km + 150 km = 250 km

Total time train took =1 hour 15 min+ 45 min + 2 hours = 240 min = 4 hours

Average velocity= $\frac{Displacement}{time}=\frac{250 km}{4 hour}=62.5 km/h$

62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The acceleration of the car, a= 1.2 $m/s^2$

Distance covered by the car,s = 75 m

Initial velocity of the car , $v_i$ = 6 m/s

Final velocity of thre car , $v_f$ =?

Using third equation of motion:

$v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2as=(6 m/s)^2+2\times 1.2 m/s\times 75 m=216 m^2/s^2$

$v_{f}=14.69 m/s$

The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Answer:

1. Ultraviolet light (UV)

2. X-rays

3. Gamma-rays

Explanation:

Though there are different types of energy or electromagnetic waves with varying wavelengths, including the likes of Gamma X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, and microwave radiation.

What is more certain is that the atmosphere blocked the high-energy waves from getting to the earth surface or biosphere such as Ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays and Gamma-rays

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3 s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}$ .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

$I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}$

Substituting the values in equation (1)

$3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}$

$9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )$

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 = 0

$d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}$

$d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}$

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion expressed as v = u+gt where;

v is the final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given

u = 9m/s

v = 0m/s

t = 6.4s

Required

acceleration due to gravity g

Since the rock is thrown up, g will be a negative value.

v = u+(-g)t

0 = 9-6.4g

-9 = -6.4g

6.4g = 9

divide both sides by 6.4

6.4g/6.4 = 9/6.4

g = 1.40625m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 1.40625m/s²
