Physics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

¿A qué velocidad debe circular un auto de carreras para recorrer 87 km en 20 min? (pasar a metros por segundo m/s)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Explanation:

Dado

Distancia a recorrer por el coche de carreras = 87 Km

1 km = 1000 m

Por lo tanto, 87 km = 87000 m

Tiempo necesario para viajar 87 km / 87000 metros = 20 minutos o 20 * 60 = 1200 segundos

Velocidad en m / s = 87000/1200

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Vector A⃗ points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B⃗ has a magnitude of 15 km and points in the p
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

magnitude of A − B =  15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a  magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = \sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}

|A - B| = \sqrt{250}

|A - B| = 15.81 km
