Answer:

7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east

Explanation:

The average velocity of the person is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

In this problem,

d = 15 km is the displacement

t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed

so the average velocity is

$v=\frac{15 km}{2.0 h}=7.5 km/h$

and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:

d = 15 km = 15,000 m

t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s

$v=\frac{15,000 m}{7200 s}=2.1 m/s$

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of +30.0 m/s2 for 5.00 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of this

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The distance covered by the rocket after fuel ran out is $3442.04 m$

Explanation:

Given that the rocket moves with an acceleration $a=30m/s^2$

time $t=5 s$

Since the rocket starts from rest initial velocity $u=0 s$

The distance it travelled within this time is given by $s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$ $=0 \times 5+ \frac{1}{2} (30\times25)=375 m$

Velocity at this point is given by $v=u+at$

$v=0+30\times5=150m/s$

Given that at this height it runs out of fuel but travels further. Here final velocity $v=0$ (maximum height), initial velocity $u=150 m/s$ and time to zero velocity $t=\frac{v}{g} = \frac{150}{9.8} =15.3 s.$

Thus it travels $15.3 seconds$ more after fuel running out. The distance covered during this period is given

$s= ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2=150 \times 15.3+1/2 \times9.8 \times 15.3^2=3442.04 m$

A fish can travel 30km/h in still water. How long will it take to arrive 12km downstream in a river flowing 6km/h?

kodGreya [7K]

30 + 6 = 36

36/12 = 3

So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.

Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.

What is the kinetic energy of a bike with a mass of 24 kg traveling at 3 m/s?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2(24)(3^2)

KE = 12(9)

KE = 108 J

Let me know if this helps!
