A runner can run a 400.0 meter lap in 50.0 seconds. He finishes at the same spot as he began. What is his average velocity?

8 meters per second. To find velocity is to divide distance by total time. so 400/50.

Velocity: displacement/time
as he's back at the same spot, displacement=0
0/50= 0
hope this helps!

The distance between the earth and sun is 1.5 x 108 kilometers and the speed of light is 3.00 x 108 meters per second. Calculate

butalik [34]

Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{8}km$

speed of light = 3* $10^{8}m/s$

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{8}*1000$ m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{11}$ m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = $\frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }$

$= 0.5*10^{3}$

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.

The 4kg head of a sledge hammer is moving at 6m/s when it strikes a chisel, driving it into a log. The duration of the impact (o

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

Explanation:

By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:

$\bar F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot (v_{2}-v_{1})$ (1)

Where:

$\bar F$ - Average impact force, in newtons.

$\Delta t$ - Duration of the impact, in seconds.

$m$ - Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.

If we know that $\Delta t = 0.0020\,s$ , $m = 4\,kg$ , $v_{1} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then we estimate the average impact force is:
