Answer:

1.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Consider a time period of duration \Delta t. Let change in the position of an object during that period of time be denoted as \Delta x. The average velocity of that object during that period would be:

\displaystyle \bar{v} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}.

For the toy car in this question, the time interval has a duration of 2.0 \; \rm s - 0.5\; \rm s = 1.5\; \rm s. That is: \Delta t = 1.5\; \rm s. (One decimal place, two significant figures.)

On the other hand, what would be the change in the position of this toy car during that 1.5\; \rm s?

Note, that from readings on the snapshot in the diagram:

  • The position of the toy car was 0.1\; \rm m at t = 0.5\; \rm s (the beginning of this 1.5-second time period.)
  • The position of the toy car was 1.6\; \rm m at t = 2.0\; \rm s (the end of this 1.5-second time period.)

Therefore, the change to the position of this toy car over that time period would be \Delta x = 1.6\; \rm m - 0.1\; \rm m = 1.5\; \rm m. (One decimal place, two significant figures.)

The average velocity of this car over this period of time would thus be:

\displaystyle \bar{v} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{1.5\; \rm m}{1.5\; \rm s} = 1.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. (Two significant figures.)

A 1000.0 kg truck accelerates from 20.0 m/s to 25.0 m/s over a distance of 300.0 m. What is the average net force on the truck?
choli [55]

Answer:

The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.

Explanation:

Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2×a×s

where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled = 300 m

Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F=m×a

where m = mass = 1000 kg

a= acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Putting values we have F=375 N

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
