Physics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

distance is how far away something has travelled from another object, while displacement is how far something is from the other object. Displacement is a vector quantity, unlike distance.

You drive a beat-up pickup truck along a straight road for 8.4 km at 70 km/h, at which point the truck runs out of gasoline and
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: a) 10.4km

b) 0.62h

C) 17km/h

d) 9.1km/h

Explanation:

A) suppose you move in the positive direction of an x axis, from a first position of x1 = 0 to a second position of x2 at the station. That second position must be at x2 = 8.4 km + 2.0 km = 10.4 km.

B) time interval Dtwlk (= 0.50 h), but we don't know the driving time interval Dt/dr. However, we know that for the drive the displacement Dx/dr is 8.4 km and the average velocity vavg,dr is 70 km/h.

This average velocity is the ratio of the displacement for the drive to the time interval for the drive:

dv = dx/ dt

dt = dx/dv = 8.4/70 = 0.12h

t = ti + two

t = 0.12 + 0.50 = 0.62h

C) avg speed for the entire trip is the ratio of the displacement of 10.4 km for the entire trip to the time interval of 0.62 h for the entire trip. 

Avg v = distance/time

10.4/0.62 = 16.8km/h

D) average speed is the ratio of the total distance you move to the total time interval you take to make that move. The total distance is 8.4 km + 2.0 km + 2.0 km = 12.4 km. The total time interval is 0.12 h + 0.50 h + 0.75 h = 1.37 h.

Avg speed = 12.4/1.37 = 9.1km/h

The coefficient of friction between a rider and the merry go round is 0.45 and the person is measured to be traveling at 20.0 RP
svlad2 [7]

The person must stand at a radius of 0.99 m

Explanation:

In order for the person to stand on the merry go round, the force of friction acting on the person must provide the centripetal force necessary to keep the person in uniform circular motion.

Therefore, we can write:

\mu mg = m\omega^2 r

where:

- the term on the left is the force of friction, and the term on the right is the centripetal force

\mu = 0.45 is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the person

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\omega = 20 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=2.09 rad/s is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circular path

Solving the equation for r, we find the radius at which the person must be standing:

r=\frac{\omega^2}{\mu g}=\frac{(2.09)^2}{(0.45)(9.8)}=0.99 m
