While running around the track at school, Milt notices that he runs due East on the 100m homestretch and due West on the 100m ba

ckstretch. To train for the 800m event, he runs both the 100m homestretch and the 100m backstretch in 12.2 seconds. How do Milt's velocities on the homestretch and backstretch compare? A) The homestretch and backstretch have velocities with the same magnitude only. B) The backstretch velocity is greater in magnitude than the homestretch velocity. C) The home stretch velocity is greater in magnitude than the backstretch velocity. D) The homestretch and the backstretch have velocities with the same direction and magnitude.

Answer a would be correct since velocity is a vector and has a magnitude and a direction. In this case v₁ = - v₂.
Wittaler [7]3 years ago

The correct answer is

A) The homestretch and backstretch have velocities with the same magnitude only.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector - it means it consists of:

1) A magnitude: called speed, it is given by the ratio between the total distance covered, d, and the time taken, t:

v=\frac{d}{t}

2) A direction: the direction of motion

In this example, we see that the homestretch and the backstretch have same speed, because the same distance (100 m) is covered in the same time interval (100 m), however the direction is different (the homestretch is due East, while the backstretch is due West). So, the correct answer is

A) The homestretch and backstretch have velocities with the same magnitude only.

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 50.0kg and a velocity of 18 m/s?
Rom4ik [11]
<h2>Answer </h2>

The kinetic energy is 8100 J.

<u>Explanation</u>

Mass is 50.0kg and velocity is 18 m/s, the kinetic energy is:

As we know the formula of kinetic energy which is K.E = ½ ( mv ^ 2 ),

mass = m = 50.0kg

velocity = v = 18 m / s,

by putting values in the formula,

K.E = ½ ( mv ^ 2 ),

K.E = ½ ( 50kg ) . ( 18 m / s ) ^ 2

K.E = ½ ( 50kg ) . ( 324 ),

=> K.E = 1/2 ( 16200 ),

=> K.E = 16200 / 2,

=> K.E = 8100J.

Hence, the kinetic energy ( K.E ) is 8100 joule ( J ).

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"E\" tone, with a frequency of 329.6 Hz. What is the period of the sound wave produced by the
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

0.003034 s

1.035 m

4.5 m

Explanation:

f = frequency of the tone = 329.6 Hz

T = Time period of the sound wave

we know that, Time period and frequency are related as

T =\frac{1}{f}\\T =\frac{1}{329.6}\\T = 0.003034 s

v = speed of the sound in the air = 341 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{341}{329.6}\\\lambda = 1.035 m

v = speed of the sound in the water = 1480 ms⁻¹

wavelength of the sound in water is given as

\lambda =\frac{v}{f} \\\lambda =\frac{1480}{329.6}\\\lambda = 4.5 m

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J
