A car runs for about 10 years during its average useful life. If the odometer reads 120,000 miles at the end, what was the avera

Answer:

12000 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance read by the odometer = 120,000 miles

Duration of car, t = 10 years

We need to find the average speed of the car. Speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{120000}{10}\\\\=12000\ mph

So, the average speed of the car is 12000 mph.

A 210 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.0 N/cm. The block becomes attached t
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

b) W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

c) V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

d)  d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm

Explanation:

For this case we have the following system with the forces on the figure attached.

We know that the spring compresses a total distance of x=0.10 m

Part a

The gravitational force is defined as mg so on this case the work donde by the gravity is:

W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

Part b

For this case first we can convert the spring constant to N/m like this:

2 \frac{N}{cm} \frac{100cm}{1m}=200 \frac{N}{m}

And the work donde by the spring on this case is given by:

W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

Part c

We can assume that the initial velocity for the block is Vi and is at rest from the end of the movement. If we use balance of energy we got:

W_{g} +W_{spring} = K_{f} -K_{i}=0- \frac{1}{2} m v^2_i

And if we solve for the initial velocity we got:

V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

Part d

Let d1 represent the new maximum distance, in order to find it we know that :

-1/2mV^2_i = W_g + W_{spring}

And replacing we got:

-1/2mV^2_i =mg d_1 -1/2 k d^2_1

And we can put the terms like this:

\frac{1}{2} k d^2_1 -mg d_1 -1/2 m V^2_i =0

If we multiply all the equation by 2 we got:

k d^2_1 -2 mg d_1 -m V^2_i =0

Now we can replace the values and we got:

200N/m d^2_1 -0.21kg(9.8m/s^2)d_1 -0.21 kg(5.50 m/s)^2) =0

200 d^2_1 -2.058 d_1 -6.3525=0

And solving the quadratic equation we got that the solution for d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm because the negative solution not make sense.

How do dog whistles work?
Alchen [17]

<em>The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.</em>
