A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.40 m/s along a straight line from point to point and then back along the line from

to at a constant speed of 3.10 m/s. (a) What is her average speed over the entire trip

Answer: The average speed over the entire trip is 3.94 m/s

Explanation:

As we know : speed=\frac{distance}{time}

Let the distance of straight line from point to point be = d

Total distance covered = 2d

Time taken to cover the forward journey = \frac{d}{5.40}

Time taken to cover the backward journey = \frac{d}{3.10}

Total time for the journey = Time taken to cover the forward journey  + Time taken to cover the backward journey  = \frac{d}{5.40}+\frac{d}{3.10}

Average speed = \frac{\text {total distance}}{\text {total time}}=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{5.40}+\frac{d}{3.10}}=3.94m/s

Thus  average speed over the entire trip is 3.94 m/s

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a bridge 22.0 m high with an initial speed of 16.0 m/s. The ball falls all t
KonstantinChe [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion. We will start calculating the maximum height with the given speed, and once the total height of fall is obtained, we will proceed to calculate with the same formula and the new height, the speed of fall.

The expression to find the change in velocity and the height is,

v_f^2-v_0^2 = -2gh

Replacing,

0^2-16^2 = -2(9.8)h

h = 13.0612m

Thus the total height reached by the ball is

H = 22m+13.0612m

H = 35.0612m

Now calculate the velocity while dropping down from the maximum height as follows

v_f^2-v_0^2 = 2gh

Substituting the new height,

v_f^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.8)(35.0612)

v = \sqrt{687.2}

v = 26.2145m/s

What component of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave?
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

There are two components of a longitudinal sound wave which are compression and rarefaction. Similarly, there are two components of the transverse wave, the crest, and trough.

The crest of a wave is defined as the part that has a maximum value of displacement while the trough is defined as the part which corresponds to minimum displacement.

While compression is that space where the particles are close together while the rarefaction is that space where the particles are far apart from each other.

So, the refraction or the rarefied part of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave.

How is the medium of a wave and transmit of a wave similar and different?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. Here are some differences: Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space.

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.
