Answer:

a) The average speed for the trip is 52.9 \frac{km}{hr}

b) The distance between the initial and final cities along the route is 90 km.

Explanation:

First, knowing that 1 hour is 60 minutes, the conversion of the times in which you travel at each speed or for lunch or buy gas is performed:

  • 30 minutes: 0.5 hr
  • 12 minutes: 0.2 hr
  • 45 minutes: 0.75 hr
  • 15 minutes: 0.25 hr

Velocity ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object in the following way:

Velocity=\frac{change of position}{time}

Then:

change of position=velocity*time

So, in this case:

  • change of position 1= 0.5 hr* 80 \frac{km}{hr}= 40 km
  • change of position 1= 0.2 hr* 100 \frac{km}{hr}= 20 km
  • change of position 1= 0.75 hr* 40 \frac{km}{hr}= 30 km

So, the total distance traveled is change of position 1+ change of position 2 + change of position 3= 40 km + 20 km + 30 km= 90 km

And the total elapsed time is considering the lunch time and gas purchase added to the time to make the journey to the technical stop: 0.5 hr + 0.2 hr + 0.75 hr + 0.25 hr= 1.7 hr

So, the velocity is:

Velocity=\frac{90 km}{1.7 hr}

Velocity=52.9 \frac{km}{hr}

Finally:

<u><em>a) The average speed for the trip is 52.9 </em></u>\frac{km}{hr}<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>b) The distance between the initial and final cities along the route is 90 km.</em></u>

Total distance covered = 40+20+30 = 90 km

Total time taken to cover this distance = .5 hr + .2 hr + .75 hr = 1.75 hr

Avg. speed of Trip would be 
90/1.45 = 62.07 km</span>

At a certain distance from the center of the Earth, a 0.4-kg object has a weight of 2.0 N. (a) Find this distance. (b) If the ob
Alika [10]

Answer:

a) The distance of the object from the center of the Earth is 8.92x10⁶ m.

b) The initial acceleration of the object is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

a) The distance can be found using the equation of gravitational force:

F = \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}

Where:

G: is the gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

M: is the Earth's mass =  5.97x10²⁴ kg  

m: is the object's mass = 0.4 kg

F: is the force or the weight = 2.0 N    

r: is the distance =?

The distance is:

r = \sqrt{\frac{GMm}{F}} = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}*5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg*0.4 kg}{2.0 N}} = 8.92 \cdot 10^{6} m      

Hence, the distance of the object from the center of the Earth is 8.92x10⁶ m.

         

b) The initial acceleration of the object can be calculated knowing the weight:              

W = ma                                                  

Where:            

W: is the weight = 2 N

a: is the initial acceleration =?          

a = \frac{W}{m} = \frac{2 N}{0.4 kg} = 5 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the initial acceleration of the object is 5 m/s².

           

I hope it helps you!

A model rocket rises with constant acceleration to a height of 4.2 m, at which point its speed is 27.0 m/s. How much time does i
geniusboy [140]

Answers:

a) t=0.311 s

b) a=86.847 m/s^{2}

c) y=1.736 m

d) V=17.369 m/s

Explanation:

For this situation we will use the following equations:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2} (1)  

V=V_{o} + at (2)  

Where:  

y is the <u>height of the model rocket at a given time</u>

y_{o}=0 is the i<u>nitial height </u>of the model rocket

V_{o}=0 is the<u> initial velocity</u> of the model rocket since it started from rest

V is the <u>velocity of the rocket at a given height and time</u>

t is the <u>time</u> it takes to the model rocket to reach a certain height

a is the <u>constant acceleration</u> due gravity and the rocket's thrust

<h2>a) Time it takes for the rocket to reach the height=4.2 m</h2>

The average velocity of a body moving at a constant acceleration is:

V=\frac{V_{1}+V_{2}}{2} (3)

For this rocket is:

V=\frac{27 m/s}{2}=13.5 m/s (4)

Time is determined by:

t=\frac{y}{V} (5)

t=\frac{4.2 m}{13.5 m/s} (6)

Hence:

t=0.311 s (7)

<h2>b) Magnitude of the rocket's acceleration</h2>

Using equation (1), with initial height and velocity equal to zero:

y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2} (8)  

We will use y=4.2 m :

4.2 m=\frac{1}{2}a(0.311)^{2} (9)  

Finding a:

a=86.847 m/s^{2} (10)  

<h2>c) Height of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

Using again y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2} but for t=0.2 s:

y=\frac{1}{2}(86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s)^{2} (11)

y=1.736 m (12)

<h2>d) Speed of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

We will use equation (2) remembering the rocket startted from rest:

V= at (13)  

V= (86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s) (14)  

Finally:

V=17.369 m/s (15)
