A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = 16 m and his ending point 15x = - 25 m. His flight lasts 4.0 seconds H

ow far has he flown, what is his displacement , what is his speed and what is his velocity?

Explanation:

Starting position at x = 16m

Ending position at x = -25m

Time of flight = 4s

Unknown:

Distance flown = ?

Displacement = ?

Speed = ?

Velocity = ?

Solution:

To find the distance flown, we should understand that the body is moving on the x - plane;

So distance = 16 + 25 = 41m

Displacement is 41m to the left or -x axis

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{41}{4}$ = 10.25m/s

Velocity is 10.25m/s along -x axis

You perform the Hooke's Law experiment and create a plot of Displacement vs. Force. You add a linear fit and find the following

balandron [24]

Answer: 0.192 N/m

Explanation:

Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.

In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:

$Y=mX+b$

Where $m=\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{X_{2}-X_{1}}$ is the slope and $b$ is the point where the line intersects the Y-axis.

So, if the equation is:

$Y=0.192X+0.011$

The slope of this line is $0.192 N/m$ which is also the spring constant $k$ .

Does the ke of a car change more when it accelerates from 11 km/h to 21 km/h or when it accelerates from 21 km/h to 31 km/h?

svp [43]

Titty milk I think because it taste amazing so you can go 21km/h

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>6 bulbs</u> are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

$N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6$

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$
