Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

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

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

$d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s$

$t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}$

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

$t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}$

$t=3.6 \ s$

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

A secret agent is locked in a room. He pushes against the door but cannot open it. Finally, he falls to the floor exhausted. Has

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation: Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.

A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul

jeka94

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, $m_a$ = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, $v_{a}$ = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, $m_{c}$ = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

$P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c$

$P_I$ = 0

$m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0$

$v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\$

$= \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}$

$= - 0.189$ m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

= 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

= 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

$= \frac{1}{2}$ × 126 × $(2.70) ^2$

= 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1800× $(0.189) ^2$

= 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

Derived eqation motion

N76 [4]

Answer:

As we have already discussed earlier, motion is the state of change in position of an object over time. It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Jogging, driving a car, and even simply taking a walk are all everyday examples of motion. The relations between these quantities are known as the equations of motion.
