Answer:

a) The distance is 30 km

The time duration is 5 hours

b) s₁ is approximately 28.142 km or s₁ is approximately 1.505 km

Explanation:

The initial speed with of the person, v₁ = 6 km/h

The distance the walked by the person, d = From point A to point B

The rate at which the person increases the speed, Δv = 1.5 km/h

The time it takes for the person to arrive at point B from point A at the new speed, t₂ = 1 hour earlier than when walking at 6 km/h

a) Let t₁ represent the time it takes the person walking from point A to point B at 6 km/h, we have;

t₂ = t₁ - 1...(1)

d/t₁ = 6...(2)

d/t₂ = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5

∴ d/t₂ = 7.5...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

d = 6 × t₁ = 6·t₁

Plugging in d = 6·t₁, and t₂ = t₁ - 1 in equation (3) gives;

d/t₂ = 7.5

∴ 6·t₁/t₁ - 1 = 7.5

6·t₁ = 7.5 × (t₁ - 1) = 7.5·t₁ - 7.5

7.5·t₁ - 6·t₁ = 7.5

1.5·t₁ = 7.5

t₁ = 7.5/1.5 = 5

t₁ = 5

The time it takes the person walking from point A to point B at 6 km/h, t₁ = 5 hours

The distance from point A to point B, d = 6 km/h × 5 hours = 30 km

b) The distance the person travels at the initial speed, v₁ (6 km/h) = s₁

The duration the person pauses for a rest = 15 minutes = 1/4 hours

The speed with which he walks the rest of the journey, v₂ = 7.5 km/h

The time earlier than expected that he arrives, Δt = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

We note that the total distance, d = 30 km

The expected time, t₁ = 5 hours

Therefore, we have;

s₁ + s₂ = 30 km

s₂ = 30 - s₁

v₁/s₁ + 1/4 + v₂/s₂ = t₁ - 0.5

Therefore;

6/s₁ + 1/4 + 7.5/(30 - s₁) = 5 - 0.5 = 4.5

6/28.142+ 1/4 + 7.5/(30 - 28.142) = 5 - 0.5 = 4.5

6/s₁ + 7.5/(30 - s₁) = 4.5 - 1/4 = 4.25

-(3·s₁ + 360)/(2·s₁²- 60·s₁) = 4.25

2·s₁²- 60·s₁) × 4.25 + 3·s₁ + 360 = 0

17·s₁²- 504·s₁ + 720 = 0

s₁ = (504 ± √((-504)² - 4 × 17 × 720))/(2 × 17)

s₁ ≈ 28.142 or s₁ = 1.505

The distance the individual travels at v₁ = 6 km/h, s₁ ≈ 28.142 km or 1.505 km

Part 4

4.0 m/s²

Part 5

Part 6

Part 7

The gravitational force is less than magnetic force

Explanation:

Part 1

The position time graph of the object is an horizontal straight line passing across the top of the position 3 boxes vertically up from the origin

As the time increases by the units of number boxes to the left, the position of the object does not change and remains at the 3 boxes up above the origin, therefore, the object is stationary

Part 2

By Newton's third law of motion, the action action obtained from a force is equal to the reaction given to the force, therefore, we have;

The force exerted by the student on the scale = The force exerted by the scale on the student = 20 N

Part 3

A force is a the directional push on an object or pull from the object as a form of interaction with another object which tends to alter or maintain the motion of the object

Part 4

The given parameters are'

The mass of block A = 1.0 kg

The mass of block B = 2.0 kg

Both blocks, "A" and "B" are initially at rest

The applied horizontal force, F = 12-N

The nature of the surface over which the blocks move = Smooth surface

Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

F = m × a

The blocks two blocks experience a common acceleration, a

The combined mass of the two blocks, m = 1.0 kg + 2.0 kg = 3.0 kg

m = 3.0 kg

Therefore, a = F/m = 12-N/(3.0 kg) = 4 m/s²

Part 5

A normal force is a force acting perpendicularly to a surface that supports the weight of an object

Part 6

The given parameters are;

M = 2 kg

The mass of the left cart attached to the spring = M = 2 kg

The mass of the right cart attached to the spring = 2·M = 2 × 2 kg = 4 kg

Therefore, given that the force exerted by one cart on the other after the spring is removed, we have;

Force, F = M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂

Where;

a₁ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, M

a₂ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, 2·M

M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂

∴ a₁ = 2·a₂

The acceleration, a₁, of car M = 2 × The acceleration, a₂, of car 2·M

The acceleration of cart M is two times the acceleration of cart 2·M

Cart M will experience a greater average acceleration

Part 7

For the top magnet of two magnets placed two magnets arranged so that one is on top the other, to be held in the air with a space between the two magnets, the gravitational force pulling the top magnet down, is less than the repelling magnetic force between the two magnets.

A 75-kilogram hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude of the average

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(3) 690 N

Explanation:

Force: This is the product of mass and acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of force is Newton(N).

The formula for force is given as,

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

Also,

a = (v-u)/t................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (bring to stop), t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0-6)/0.65

a = -6/0.65

a = -9.23 m/s²

Also given: m = 75 kg

Substitute again into equation 1

F = 75(-9.23)

F = -692.25 N

The negative sign tells that the force oppose the motion of the player

F ≈ 690 N

Hence the right option is (3) 690 N

KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s$

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s$

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s$

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2$

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at$

Since the height are equal

$\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0$

$t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45$

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2$

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²
