What is the speed of a walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?

Physics
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.83m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

distance  = 1000m

time taken  = 20min

Unknown:

Speed of the walking person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time taken}

  Time taken should be in seconds;

                 1 min   =  60s

                 20min  = 20 x 60  = 1200s

Speed  = \frac{1000}{1200}   = 0.83m/s

16. When a plastic rod is rubbed with fur, the rod will become negatively charged. Which of the following best explains how this
romanna [79]

Answer:

B. Electrons are transferred from the fur to the plastic rod.

Explanation:

Triboelectricity or friction charging refers to the ability of materials to gain or lose electrons as a result of rubbing them against something. This phenomenon has been observed in the case of rubbing plastic rod against fur, or glass rod against silk.

In the context of rubbing plastic rod against fur, what happens is that the fur which has an excess of charges loses electrons to the plastic rod. This makes the plastic rod to become positively charged, and the fur, negatively charged.

PLEASEEEE HEEEEELP!!!!!
8090 [49]

Answer:

Before:

p_{truck}=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=10000\ kg.m/s

After:

p_{truck}=8000\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=8400\ kg.m/s

v_{fcar}=8.4\ m/s

F=9333.33 \ Nw

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum</u>

Two objects of masses m1 and m2 moving at speeds v1o and v2o respectively have a total momentum of

p_1=m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}

After the collision, they have speeds of v1f and v2f and the total momentum is

p_2=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

Impulse J is defined as

J=F.t

Where F is the average impact force and t is the time it lasted

Also, the impulse is equal to the change of momentum

J=\Delta p

As the total momentum is conserved:

p_1=p_2

m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

We can compute the speed of the second object by solving the above equation for v2f

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ m_1v_{1o}+m_2v_{2o} -m_1v_{1f} }{  m_2 }

The given data is

m_1=2000\ kg

m_2=1000\ kg\\v_{1o}=8.2\ m/s\\v_{2o}=0\ m/s\\v_{1f}=4\ m/s

a) The impulse will be computed at the very end of the answer

b) Before the collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 8.2=16400\ kg.m/s

p_{car}=1000\cdot 0=0\ kg.m/s

c) After collision

p_{truck}=2000\cdot 4=8000\ kg.m/s

Compute the car's speed:

\displaystyle v_{2f}=\frac{ 16400+0 -8000 }{ 1000 }

v_{2f}=8.4\ m/s

And the car's momentum is

p_{car}=1000\cdot 8.4=8400\ kg.m/s

The Impulse J of the system is zero because the total momentum is conserved, i.e. \Delta p=0.

We can compute the impulse for each object

J_1=\Delta p_1=2000(4-8.2)=-8400 \N.s

The force can be computed as

\displaystyle F=\frac{J}{t}=-\frac{8400}{0.9}=-9333.33 \ Nw

The force on the car has the same magnitude and opposite sign

What should be done to lift the same load by applying less effort on an inclined plane​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Reduce the friction at the surface

Explanation:

If you can reduce the friction between the load and the plane less effort will be required as you are not having to apply effort to overcome friction.

An object is in simple harmonic motion. Find an equation for the motion given that the frequency is 3⁄π and at time t = 0, y = 0
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the general expression for a harmonic movement given by:

y(t)= A*sin (ω*t +φo) where ω is the angular frequency. A is the amplitude.

The data are: ν= 3π; y(t=0)=0 and y'(0)=6.

Firstly we know that 2πν=ω then ω=6*π^2

Then, we have y(0)=0=A*sin (6*π^2*0+φo)= A sin (φo)=0 then φo=0

Besides y'(t)=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*t)

y'(0)=6=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*0)

6=6*π^2*A then A= 1/π^2

Finally the equation is:

y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)
