Since the question above is looking for the SPEEd of the WAVE, the formula that should be used is SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME. You just need to substitute the distance (36 meters) and the time (15 seconds) to the formula. You should be able to get SPEED = 2.4 m/s.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

V_{ft}= 317 cm/s

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

Where:

P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}

P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Now:

M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}

Where M_c is the mass of the car, V_{ic} is the initial velocity of the car, M_t is the mass of train, V_{fc} is the final velocity of the car and V_{ft} is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}

Solving for V_{ft}:

V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s

Changed to cm/s, we get:

V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = \frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2

K_i = 22.06 J

And the final K is:

K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2

K_f = 19.61 J

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

d = 2\pi r

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

What is the angular displacement of the second hand on a clock after 59 seconds?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. -6.17 rad

Explanation:

60 seconds is 2π radians.  Writing a proportion:

2π / 60 = x / 59

x = 6.17

The displacement is negative because the second hand moves clockwise.

leva [86]

Answer:

B ) Ascend using my buddy alternative air source / make an emergency Ascent

Explanation:

From the description it can be seen his buddy is close by of which he can easily use the alternative air source. Also we can see that he is closer to the water surface than his buddy, of which controlled emergency swimming ascent is highly favourable in this condition.
