Sally runs 10,000 meter race at an average speed of 3.5m/s what does average speed mean

Physics

Answer:

The average speed of 3.5 m/s means that it takes Sally approximately 47.619 minutes to run 10,000 meters

Explanation:

Average speed is a scalar quantity that is given by dividing the total distance moved or traveled by an object by the time that it takes the object during the motion

The average peed indicates the rate at which the object makes a given amount of journey distance given that the journey is completed with varying speeds

With the knowledge of the average speed and the distance covered, the time for completion of the journey can be found as follows;

Average \ speed , \overline v = \dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Where

\overline v = Average speed of the object = 3.5 m/s

Δt = The time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters

Δx = The total distance Sally runs = 10,000 meters

Therefore;

\Delta t = \dfrac{\Delta x}{ \overline v} = \dfrac{10,000 \ m}{3.5 \ m/s}  = \dfrac{20,000}{7} \ s \approx 2,857.143 \ s

The time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters= Δt = 20,000/7 seconds ≈ 2,857.143 seconds

20,000/7 seconds ≈ 47.619 minutes

Therefore, the average speed of 3.5 m/s means that the time it takes the Sally to run 10,000 meters ≈ 47.619 minutes

Answer:

3) D: 31 m/s

4) D: 84.84 metres

Explanation:

3) Initial velocity along the x-axis is;

v_x = v_o•cos θ

Initial velocity along the y-axis is;

v_y = v_o•sin θ

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_x = 31 cos 60

v_x = 31 × 0.5

v_x = 15.5 m/s

Similarly,

v_y = 31 sin 60

v_y = 31 × 0.8660

v_y = 26.85 m/s

Thus, magnitude of the initial velocity is;

v = √(15.5² + 26.85²)

v ≈ 31 m/s

4) Formula for horizontal range is;

R = (v² sin 2θ)/g

R = (31² × sin (2 × 60))/9.81

R = 84.84 m

What is 1113.28 in a sig fig?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

6 significant figure

Explanation:

The digits 111328 all are 6 figures with no figure being zero, neither zero after the other digits. In this case, all the numbers are significant and since they are only six numbers, then this is a six significant figure. In case we add another zero after digit 8, the zero is not significant but if added either infront of 8 or 2, the zero becomes significant.

A runaway railroad car, with mass 30x10^4 kg, coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides with a spring loaded bumpe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.775 m

Explanation:

As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):

U=K\\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where we have

k=2\cdot 10^6 N/m is the spring constant of the bumper

x is the maximum compression of the bumper

m=30\cdot 10^4 kg is the mass of the car

v=2.0 m/s is the speed of the car

Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(30\cdot 10^4 kg)(2.0 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 10^6 N/m}}=0.775 m

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

Larry drops a 5kg ball off of a building. The ball hits the ground 4.7s later. How tall is the building?
musickatia [10]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 4.7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.7 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (4.7 s)²

Δy ≈ 110 m
