c. mechanical weathering because this is the grinding action of other rock particles due to gravity or the motion of water, ice or air.

A car travels 100 m while decelerating to 8 m/s in 5 s. a) What was its initial speed?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Vi = 32 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following the two following kinematics equations.

$v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)\\$

The negative sign of the second term of the equation means that the velocity decreases, as indicated in the problem.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 8[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration = [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

Now replacing:

8 = Vi - 5*a

Vi = (8 + 5*a)

As we can see we have two unknowns the initial velocity and the acceleration, so we must use a second kinematics equation.

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - (2*a*d)$

where:

d = distance = 100[m]

(8^2) = (8 + 5*a)^2 - (2*a*100)

64 = (64 + 80*a + 25*a^2) - 200*a

0 = 80*a - 200*a + 25*a^2

0 = - 120*a + 25*a^2

0 = 25*a(a - 4.8)

therefore:

a = 0 or a = 4.8 [m/s^2]

We choose the value of 4.8 as the acceleration value, since the zero value would not apply.

Returning to the first equation:

8 = Vi - (4.8*5)

Vi = 32 [m/s]

Find the mass and center of mass of the solid E with the given density function ρ. E lies under the plane z = 3 + x + y and abov

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Work:

Density function: ρ(x, y, z) = 8

x-bounds: [0, 1], y-bounds: [0, x], z-bounds: [0, x+y+3]

The mass M of the solid is given by:

M = ∫∫∫ρ(dV) = ∫∫∫ρ(dx)(dy)(dz) = ∫∫∫8(dx)(dy)(dz)

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8z(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x+8y+24](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8xy+4y²+24y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[8x²+4x²+24x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[8x³/3+4x³/3+12x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 8/3+4/3+12

= 16

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

Now we have to find the center of mass of the solid which requires calculating the center of mass in the x, y, and z dimensions.

The z-coordinate of the center of mass Z is given by:

Z = (1/M)∫∫∫ρz(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8z(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫4z²(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[4(x+y+3)²](dx)(dy)

= ∫∫[4x²+24x+8xy+4y²+24y+36](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4x²y+24xy+4xy²+4y³/3+12y²+36y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[28x³/3+36x²+36x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[7x⁴/3+12x³+18x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 7/3+12+18

Z = (7/3+12+18)/16 = 2.021

The y-coordinate of the center of mass Y is given by:

Y = (1/M)∫∫∫ρy(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8y(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8yz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8xy+8y²+24y](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4xy²+8y³/3+12y²]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[20x³/3+12x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[5x⁴/3+4x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 5/3+4

Y = (5/3+4)/16 = 0.3542

The x-coordinate of the center of mass X is given by:

X = (1/M)∫∫∫ρx(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8x(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8xz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x²+8xy+24x](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8x²y+4xy²+24xy]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[12x³+24x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[3x⁴+8x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 3+8 = 11

X = 11/16 = 0.6875

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right
