the car starts from a stop to travel 1100 meters in 14 seconds. it is clocked at 65 m/s at point k. find its average speed and a

inysia [295]

Answer:

The average velocity of the car is, V = 74.04 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s

The displacement of the ca, S = 1100 m

The time period of travel, t = 14 s

The velocity of the car at point k, v = 65 m/s

Using the II equation of motion,

S = ut + ½ at²

Substituting the given values,

1100 = 0 + ½ x a x 14²

a = 11.22 m/s²

Using the III equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

v = √(2as) (∵ u = 0)

Substituting,

v = √(2 x 11.22 x 1100)

= 157.11 m/s

The average speed of the car,

$V=\frac{0+65+157.11}{3}$

V = 74.04 m/s

Hence, the average velocity of the car is, V = 74.04 m/s

Tarzan and Jane. Because of your concern that incorrect science is being taught to children when they watch cartoons on TV, you

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

Explanation:

Let

m = Mass of Tarzan

M = Mass of Jane

Given

M = 2m

To calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing, we make use of the potential energy at their initial and final position.

Reason being that;

At both the initial and final position, velocity is 0, so there's no kinetic energy.

And the potential energy remains the same (i.e constant) at any given point in the system.

Using P.E = mgh.

At initial position, PE1 = mgh

At final position, PE2 = (m + M)gH.

Where h and H represent the initial and final heights.

m + M is the new weight after Jane and Tarzan swing

Equating PE1 to PE2

mgh = (m + M)gH

By substituton (M = 2m)

mgh = (m + 2m)gH

mgh = 3mgH

Make H the subject of the formula

H = mgh/3mg

H = ⅓h

Hence, the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

From the question, the new height looks to be about ½ that of Jane's original position; i.e. ½h

The calculated height is smaller than what the cartoon is showing;

We can conclude that the cartoon is wrong.

An ordinary flashlight battery has a potential difference of 1.2 V between its positive and negative terminals. How much work mu

Maru [420]

The work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is 1.92×10⁻¹⁹ J.

Given:

Potential difference, V = 1.2 V

Charge on an electron, e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Calculation:

We know that the work done to transport an electron from the positive to the negative terminal is given as:

W.D = (Charge on electron)×(Potential difference)

= e × V

= (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)×(1.2 V)

= 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the work done in bringing the charge from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is 1.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ J.

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m
