Hello!

A car travels 35.0 mph north for 1.00 hour, then 40.0 mph east for 0.0500 hour, and finally 50.0 mph northeast for 2.00 hours. Calculate the average speed.

We have the following data:

* velocity (in mph)

(V1) = 35.0 mph

(V2) = 40.0 mph

(V3) = 50.0 mph

* weights for the time (in hours)

(T1) = 1.00 hour

(T2) = 0.0500 hour

(T3) = 2.00 hours

We apply the data to the weighted average formula to find the average speed, let us see:

$Weight\:Average = \dfrac{V_1*T_1+V_2*T_2+V_3*T_3}{T_1+T_2+T_3}$

$Weight\:Average = \dfrac{35.0*1.00+40.0*0.0500+50.0*2.00}{1.00+0.0500+2.00}$

$Weight\:Average = \dfrac{35+2+100}{3.05}$

$Weight\:Average = \dfrac{137}{3.05}$

$Weight\:Average = 44.91803279...$

$\boxed{\boxed{Weight\:Average = 44.92\:mph}}\Longleftarrow(Average\:Speed)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\purple{\checkmark}$

Answer:

The Average Speed is approximately 44.92 mph

Answer:

Average speed will be $44.91mile/hour$

Explanation:

We have given that car travels 35 mph for 1 hour in north

So distance traveled by car in north = 35×1=35 mile

Car travels 40 mph in east for 0.05 hour

So distance traveled in east = 40×0.05 = 2 mile

And finally the car travels at 50 mph for 2 hour in northeast

So distance traveled in northeast = 50×2 = 100 mile

So total distance = 35+2+100 = 137 mile

Total time = 1+0.05+2=3.05 hour

Now we know that average speed is given by $speed=\frac{total\ distance}{total\ time }=\frac{137}{3.05}=44.91mile/hour$

Sphere A of mass 0.600 kg is initially moving to the right at 4.00 m/s. sphere B, of mass 1.80 kg is initially to the right of s

anzhelika [568]

A) The velocity of sphere A after the collision is 1.00 m/s to the right

B) The collision is elastic

C) The velocity of sphere C is 2.68 m/s at a direction of $-5.2^{\circ}$

D) The impulse exerted on C is 4.29 kg m/s at a direction of $-5.2^{\circ}$

E) The collision is inelastic

F) The velocity of the center of mass of the system is 4.00 m/s to the right

Explanation:

A)

We can solve this part by using the principle of conservation of momentum. The total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision:

$p_i = p_f\\m_A u_A + m_B u_B = m_A v_A + m_B v_B$

$m_A = 0.600 kg$ is the mass of sphere A

$u_A = 4.00 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the sphere A (taking the right as positive direction)

$v_A$ is the final velocity of sphere A

$m_B = 1.80 kg$ is the mass of sphere B

$u_B = 2.00 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the sphere B

$v_B = 3.00 m/s$ is the final velocity of the sphere B

Solving for vA:

$v_A = \frac{m_A u_A + m_B u_B - m_B v_B}{m_A}=\frac{(0.600)(4.00)+(1.80)(2.00)-(1.80)(3.00)}{0.600}=1.00 m/s$

The sign is positive, so the direction is to the right.

B)

To verify if the collision is elastic, we have to check if the total kinetic energy is conserved or not.

Before the collision:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}m_A u_A^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_B u_B^2 =\frac{1}{2}(0.600)(4.00)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(1.80)(2.00)^2=8.4 J$

After the collision:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.600)(1.00)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(1.80)(3.00)^2=8.4 J$

The total kinetic energy is conserved: therefore, the collision is elastic.

C)

Now we analyze the collision between sphere B and C. Again, we apply the law of conservation of momentum, but in two dimensions: so, the total momentum must be conserved both on the x- and on the y- direction.

Taking the initial direction of sphere B as positive x-direction, the total momentum before the collision along the x-axis is:

$p_x = m_B v_B = (1.80)(3.00)=5.40 kg m/s$

While the total momentum along the y-axis is zero:

$p_y = 0$

We can now write the equations of conservation of momentum along the two directions as follows:

$p_x = p'_{Bx} + p'_{Cx}\\0 = p'_{By} + p'_{Cy}$ (1)

We also know the components of the momentum of B after the collision:

$p'_{Bx}=(1.20)(cos 19)=1.13 kg m/s\\p'_{By}=(1.20)(sin 19)=0.39 kg m/s$

So substituting into (1), we find the components of the momentum of C after the collision:

$p'_{Cx}=p_B - p'_{Bx}=5.40 - 1.13=4.27 kg m/s\\p'_{Cy}=p_C - p'_{Cy}=0-0.39 = -0.39 kg m/s$

So the magnitude of the momentum of C is

$p'_C = \sqrt{p_{Cx}^2+p_{Cy}^2}=\sqrt{4.27^2+(-0.39)^2}=4.29 kg m/s$

Dividing by the mass of C (1.60 kg), we find the magnitude of the velocity:

$v_c = \frac{p_C}{m_C}=\frac{4.29}{1.60}=2.68 m/s$

And the direction is

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{p_y}{p_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-0.39}{4.27})=-5.2^{\circ}$

D)

The impulse imparted by B to C is equal to the change in momentum of C.

The initial momentum of C is zero, since it was at rest:

$p_C = 0$

While the final momentum is:

$p'_C = 4.29 kg m/s$

So the magnitude of the impulse exerted on C is

$I=p'_C - p_C = 4.29 - 0 = 4.29 kg m/s$

And the direction is the angle between the direction of the final momentum and the direction of the initial momentum: since the initial momentum is zero, the angle is simply equal to the angle of the final momentum, therefore $-5.2^{\circ}$ .

E)

To check if the collision is elastic, we have to check if the total kinetic energy is conserved or not.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is just the kinetic energy of B, since C was at rest:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}m_B u_B^2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.80)(3.00)^2=8.1 J$

The total kinetic energy after the collision is the sum of the kinetic energies of B and C:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_C v_C^2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.80)(1.20)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(1.60)(2.68)^2=7.0 J$

Since the total kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is inelastic.

F)

Here we notice that the system is isolated: so there are no external forces acting on the system, and this means the system has no acceleration, according to Newton's second law:

$F=Ma$

Since F = 0, then a = 0, and so the center of mass of the system moves at constant velocity.

Therefore, the centre of mass after the 2nd collision must be equal to the velocity of the centre of mass before the 1st collision: which is the velocity of the sphere A before the 1st collision (because the other 2 spheres were at rest), so it is simply 4.00 m/s to the right.

What are the factors that effect the strength of a frictional force???

seropon [69]

If you write down the formula for friction, you will get an answer.

Ff = u * N Where N is a push down force that an object experiences.

u (mu) is a constant and has no units

It may not be accelerating and still experience friction. A is not correct.

Color and Density will not affect the frictional force. B is not so.

Buoyant forces are a different thing altogether. Generally friction has nothing to do with them. C is incorrect.

The last one is your answer. Technically mg should be the answer and not mass, but the second part is correct.
