Answer:

1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second

2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second

Explanation:

1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity

Therefore, average speed of the trip = $\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

From the graph attached,

Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30

= 90 meters

Total time taken = 60 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{90}{60}$

= 1.5 meter per second

2). Velocity is a vector quantity.

Therefore, average velocity = $\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}$

= $\frac{d_{60}-d_0}{60-0}$

= $\frac{90-0}{60-0}$

= 1.5 meter per second

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

26b) 66.7%

27) 500 N

Explanation:

26.a) In a two pulley system, the load is attached to one of the pulleys. The other pulley is attached to a fixed surface, as well as one end of the rope. The other end of the rope goes around moving pulley, then around the fixed pulley.

26.b) Mechanical advantage is the ratio between the forces:

MA = load force / effort force

Efficiency is the ratio between the work:

e = work done on load / work done by effort

Work is force times distance.

e = (F load × d load) / (F effort × d effort)

Rearranging:

e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)

e = MA × (d load / d effort)

In a two pulley system, the load moves half the distance of the effort. So the efficiency is:

e = (4/3) × (1/2)

e = 2/3

e = 66.7%

27) In a three pulley system, the load moves a third of the distance of the effort.

e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)

0.40 = (600 N / F) × (1/3)

F = 500 N

A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: $240\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam $l=2\ m$

mass of beam $m=5\ kg$

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

$\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m$

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

$I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2$

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

$\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2$

Coherent light with wavelength 540 nm passes through narrow slits with a separation of 0.370 mm .Part AAt a distance from the sl

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The phase difference between waves 31.7 rad

Explanation:

Given :

Wavelength $\lambda = 540 \times 10^{-9}$ m

Separation between two slit $d = 0.370 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Angle $\theta =$ 25°

From the formula of phase difference,

$\delta = \frac{2\pi d }{\lambda} \sin \theta$

Where $\delta =$ phase difference

$\delta = \frac{2 \times \pi \times 0.370 \times 10^{-3} }{540 \times 10^{-9} } \sin 25$

$\delta = 31.7$ rad

Therefore, the phase difference between waves 31.7 rad
