Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

Momentum = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

Answer:

$10.07m/s^2$

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: $v_{i}=0mph$ (starts from rest)

final velocity: $v_{f}=50mph$

time: $t=2.22s$

Since we need the answer in $m/s^2$ , we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

$v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s$

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

substituting the known values:

$a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2$

the acceleration is 10.07 $m/s^2$

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position

Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is 6.4 m.

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

$v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}$

Write an equation for x.

$dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt$

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

$x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C$

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

$x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m$

Substitute 2.0s for t.

$x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m$

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is 6.4m

Can someone please help me with this physics question? I'm desperate!

Lelu [443]

Answer:

a) 2·√10 seconds

b) Linda should be approximately 30.6 meters

c) Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark is approximately 6.325 m/s

Explanation:

The speed with which Linda is running = 8.6 m/s

The point Jenny starts = The 80-m mark

The acceleration of Jenny = 1.0 m/s²

a) The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark, t, is given as follows

Δs = u·t + (1/2)·a·t²

Δs = Distance = 100-m - 80-m = 20-m

u = The initial velocity of Jenny = 0

a = Jenny's acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

∴ 20 = 0×t + (1/2) × 1 × t² = t²/2

20 = t²/2

t = √(20 × 2) = 2·√10

The time it takes Jenny to run from the 80-m mark to the 100-m mark = 2·√10 seconds

b) The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds, d = v × t

Given that Linda's velocity, v = 8.6 m/s, we have;

d = 8.0 × 2·√10 = 16·√10

The distance Linda runs in t = 2·√10 seconds = 16·√10 meters ≈ 50.6 meters

Therefore, Linda should be approximately (50.6 - 20) meters = 30.6 meters behind Jenny when Jenny starts running

c) Jenny's speed at the 100 m mark is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

t = 2·√10 seconds, a = 1.0 m/s², u = 0

∴ v = 0×t + 1.0×2·√10 = 2·√10 ≈ 6.325

Jenny's speed at the 100-m mark ≈ 6.325 m/s

Drawing a shows a displacement vector (450.0 m along the y axis). In this x, y coordinate system the scalar components are Ax 0

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x ’= 368.61 m, y ’= 258.11 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must find the projections of the point on the new vectors of the rotated system θ = 35º

x’= R cos 35

y’= R sin 35

The modulus vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

R² = x² + y²

R = 450 m

we calculate

x ’= 450 cos 35

x ’= 368.61 m

y ’= 450 sin 35

y ’= 258.11 m
