Answer:

  • 27.6 m
  • 13.8 m/s

Explanation:

(b) The initial velocity is added to that due to acceleration by gravity. The velocity is increased linearly by gravity at the rate of 9.8 m/s². The average velocity of the pebble will be its velocity halfway through the 2-second time period.* That is, it will be ...

  4 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(2 s)/2 = 13.8 m/s . . . . average velocity

__

(a) The distance covered in 2 seconds at an average velocity of 13.8 m/s is ...

  d = vt

  d = (13.8 m/s)(2 s) = 27.6 m

The water is about 27.6 m below ground.

_____

* We have chosen to make use of the fact that the velocity curve is linear, so the average velocity is half the sum of initial and final velocities:

  vAvg = (vInit + vFinal)/2 = (vInit + (vInit +at))/2 = vInit +at/2

__

If you work this in a straightforward way, you would find distance as the integral of velocity, then find average velocity from the distance and time.

  \displaystyle d=\int_0^t{(v_0+at)}\,dt=v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=t\left(v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\right)\\\\v_{avg}=\dfrac{d}{t}=v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\qquad\text{the formula we started with}

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?
valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou
spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} ) = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)
