Answer:

1. The average speed of Luis over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s

2. The average velocity of Luis over the 60 s is zero.

Explanation:

1. The average speed can be calculated with the following equation:

$S = \frac{d}{t}$

Where:

d: is the total distance traveled

t: is the total time = 60 s

The total distance can be calculated by the sum of the distance traveled to the truck (40 m) and the distance traveled to his home (the same 40 m), as follows:

$d = 40 m + 40 m = 80 m$

So, the average speed is:

$S = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{80 m}{60 s} = 1.33 m/s$

Hence, Luis's average speed over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s.

2. Now, the average velocity is a vector given by:

$v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t}$

Where:

$x_{f}$ : is the final distance traveled (the way to his home) = 40 m

$x_{i}$ : is the initial distance traveled (the way to his truck) = 40 m

Δt: is the total time = t = 60 s

Given that Luis in his journey, returns to the same starting point (his house), the total displacement is zero, and so the average velocity is also zero:

$v = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t} = \frac{40 m - 40 m}{60 s} = 0$

Therefore, Luis's average velocity over the 60 s is zero.

I hope it helps you!

Air conditioners operate on the same principle as refrigerators. Consider an air conditioner that has 7.00 kg of refrigerant flo

kozerog [31]

Answer:

5.15J

Explanation:

First. 54% of the 7kg refrigerant is liquid

So we find mass of vapour at inlet generator

M1 = ( 1-0.54)*7= 3.2kg

At compressor mass of vapour will be

M2= 0.95*7= 6.7kg

So the Mass of vapour at exit generator is

M2-M1= 3.5kg

So to find heat absorbed by refrigerant in evaporation

Its using

Q= mh

°= 3.5x 1.50×10^5 J/kg

=5.15J

A toy car starts from the rest and accelerates at 1.50m/s2 [E] for 2.25s. What is the final velocity, of the car

V125BC [204]

3.375m/s is the final velocity of the car.

<h3>How do you find final velocity?</h3>

The final velocity depends on how large the acceleration is and the distance over which it acts.

Initial velocity of an object, you can multiply the acceleration due to a force by the time the force is applied and add it to the initial velocity to get the final velocity.

According to the question,

A toy car starts from the rest and accelerates

So the acceleration = 1.50m/s²

Time = 2.25s

$x=x_{0} + vt$

$x = 0 + ( 1.50m/s^2*2.25s)$

$x = 3.375m/s$

The final velocity, of the car is 3.375 m/s.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du

ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration $\alpha$ , the disk achieves an angular velocity $\omega$ at time $t$ according to

$\omega=\alpha t$

and angular displacement $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

$21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2$

where $\omega_f$ and $\omega_i$ are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

$\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity $\omega_0$ equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

which would be equal to

$\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}$

The acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?

VladimirAG [237]

We have that for the Question "the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?"

it can be said that the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line

From the question we are told

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?

Generally the equation for the Force is mathematically given as

F=\frac{F}{dx}

Therefore

F=-kdx

k=600Nm^{-1}

now

K.E=0.5x ds^2

K.E=600*(-0.1^2)

K.E=3J

Therefore

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line
