Answer:

Option C: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop"

Explanation:

Since this is a real event, and not an ideal situation where there is no friction forces acting between the frozen pond and the rock, there is going to exist some force of dynamic friction (even small) acting between them. One can look up coefficients of dynamic friction between similar objects, and realize that some small force will be acting as the rock slides on the surface of the pond. That force acts always opposite the direction of movement, therefore decelerating the rock. The rock's speed will continue reducing in magnitude until it eventually stops.

Then, the selected answer is: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop."

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The period of rotation is

T=8.025s

Explanation:

The person is undergoing simple harmonic motion on the wheel

Given data

mass of the person =75kg

Radius of wheel r=16m

Velocity =8.25m/s

The oscillating period of simple harmonic motion is given as

T=(2*pi)/2=2*pi √r/g

Assuming that g=9.81m/s

Substituting our data into the expression we have

T=2*3.142 √ 16/9.81

T=6.284*1.277

T=8.025s

A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Time, t = 12 minutes

Explanation:

It is given that,

A cyclist rides 16.0 km east, then 8.0 km west, then 8.0 km east, then 32.0 km west, and finally 11.2 km east. Let west direction is negative and east direction is positive. The displacement of the cyclist is :

d=16-8+8-32+11.2=-4.8\ km

d = 4800 m

Let us assumed that the average speed of the cyclist is, v = 24 km/h = 6.66667 m/s

Let t is the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip. The velocity of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{4800\ m}{6.66667\ m/s}

t = 719.99 seconds

t = 720 seconds

or

t = 12 minutes

So, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is 12 minutes. Yes, the time taken by the cyclist to complete the trip is reasonable. Hence, this is the required solution.
