Let us consider the following figure

<em>figure</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>pict</em><em>ure</em>

So, his/her total displacement = 2 blocks.

total time = 1 hour

Average Velocity

= Total displacement/ total time

= 2 blocks/ 1 hour

= 2 blocks/ h

So, her/his average velocity is 2 blocks per hour.

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 ​units/sec. What is the force on the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the
erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: \frac{V^{2}}{r}

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force F is proportional to the mass Fm and acceleration a:

F=m.a (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (2)

Where:

V is the velocity

r is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r} (3)

Hence:

a=\frac{V^{2}}{r} This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

Detailed Explanation:

1) Rusting of Iron

4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O -> 2Fe2O32H2O

Reactants :-
Fe = 4
O = 3 * 2 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

Products :-
Fe = 2 * 2 = 4
O = 2 * 3 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

2) Fermentation of sucrose…

C12H22O11 + H2O -> 4C2H5OH + 4CO2

Reactants :-
C = 12
H = 22 + 2 = 24
O = 11 + 1 = 12

Products :-
C = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12
H = 4 * 5 + 4 = 24
O = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12

Looking closely at the way I have taken the total number of elements on the reactants and products side, you can solve the rest.

All the Best!
