Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 2.70 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realiz
Katen [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v  =  6.66 \  m/s

Henrietta is at distance s=  18.17 \  m from the under the window

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of Henrietta is v=  2.70 \ m/s

The height of the window from the ground is h  =  36.5 \  m

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach the ground assuming it fell directly under the window is

t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  h }{g} }

=> t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  36.5 }{9,8} }

=> t  =  2.73 \  s

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach Henrietta is mathematically represented as

T =  t +  t_1

Here t_1 is the time duration that elapsed after Henrietta has passed below the window the value is given as 4 s

Now

T = 2.73  +  4

=> T = 6.73 \  s

Generally the distance covered by Henrietta before catching her lunch is

s=  v  *  T

=> s=  2.70  * 6.73

=> s=  18.17 \  m

Generally the speed with which Bruce threw her lunch is mathematically represented as

v  =  \frac{18.17}{2.73}

v  =  6.66 \  m/s

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

At t=0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When 3s. bullet B is fired upward with a muzzl
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

At time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.

Explanation:

Let h be the height at which this occurs and t be the time after second bullet fires.

Distance traveled by first bullet can be calculated using equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^2 \\

Here s = h,u = 450m/s a = -g and t = t+3

Substituting

h=450(t+3)-0.5\times 9.81\times (t+3)^2=450t+1350-4.9t^2-29.4t-44.1\\\\h=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9

Distance traveled by second bullet

Here s = h,u = 600m/s a = -g and t = t

Substituting

h=600t-0.5\times 9.81\times t^2=600t-4.9t^2\\\\h=600t-4.9t^2 \\

Solving both equations

600t-4.9t^2=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9\\\\179.4t=1305.9\\\\t=7.28s \\

So at time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Height at t = 7.28 s

h=600\times 7.28-4.9\times 7.28^2\\\\h=4108.31m \\

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.

If the man pushes with a force of 2000N and friction is 500N, what is the resultant force?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the force of 2000 N is directed towards the right and the friction is directed towards the left, the 2000 N force is positive and the other is negative. To find the resultant force:

2000 - 500 = 1500 N to the right

Dinosaurs’ skeletons can be distinguished from those of other reptiles by the structure of the hips and legs.
jeyben [28]
True, they had a hole in their hip socket that allowed them to run faster than other reptiles of their size at the time. As well as most reptiles besides reptiles had legs to the side, rather than under them like dinosaurs did.

Hope this helps!
