Answer:

a)  600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change)  of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take
Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that 2 \pi is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.
