A particular circular track on level ground has a circumference of 400 m. a walker, traveling counterclockwise and starting at t

he southernmost point of the track, completes one lap in 800 s, ending his circular trip by arriving again at the southernmost point. find the average speed and the average velocity for the walker's trip around the track.

Answer:

Average speed: 0.5 m/s. Average velocity: 0

Explanation:

Average speed is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the total distance covered (the length, of one lap of the track, so d = 400 m)

t is the time taken to cover that distance (so, t = 800 s)

Substituting,

$v=\frac{400}{800}=0.5 m/s$

Instead, average velocity is defined as

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where this time,

d is the displacement, which is the vector connecting the starting point to the final point of the motion

t is still the time taken (800 s)

However, in this case the walker starts and finishes his trip at the same point: therefore, the displacement is zero (d=0), and this means that the average velocity is zero as well.

Answer:

a) v = 88.54 m/s

b) vf = 26.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 1400.0 kg

a)

by using the energy conservation

loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²

so

1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²

5488000 = 700v²

v² = 5488000 / 700

v² = 7840

v = √7840

v = 88.54 m/s

b)

Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE

W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)

we substitute

1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf² -0 )

488000 = 700 vf²

vf² = 488000 / 700

vf² = 697.1428

vf = √697.1428

vf = 26.4 m/s

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it

Flura [38]

A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

$m = m_{1}=m_{2}$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Along X- axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i$

$v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s$

Along Y-axis

$0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{1}=-v_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s$

Then the final speed of the first ball

$v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}$

$v_{1}=1.95\ m/s$

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=-44.16^{\circ}$

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

A damped mass/spring system takes 14.0 s for its amplitude of the oscillator to decrease by a factor of 9. By what factor does t

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

$A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )$

$A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}$

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒ $E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2$

and,

⇒ $E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2$

$=\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

On putting the estimated values, we get

$=\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}$

⇒ $\frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}$

$=\frac{40}{162}$

$=0.246$
