What is the speed of a car traveling 100 m in 20 s?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: To answer this question, we will need the following equation: SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (A multiplication and division triangle will be shown)i) The speed of the car is calculated by doing 100 metres/ 20 seconds which gives us 5 metres per second. ii) Rearranging the equation earlier, we can make the distance the subject of the equation so that we get SPEED x TIME = DISTANCE. We worked out the speed and the time was given as 1 minute 40 seconds but we cannot plug in the numbers yet as the time has to be converted to units of seconds (because our speed is in meters per second). 1 minute 40 seconds = 60 seconds + 40 seconds = 100 secondsWe then plug in the numbers to get the distance travelled = 5 metres per second x 100 seconds = 500 metres.

A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 4
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

A standing wave pattern is created on a string with mass density μ = 3.4 × 10-4 kg/m. A wave generator with frequency f = 61 Hz
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

1) λ = 0.413 m , 2)v = 25,213 m / s , 3)  T = 0.216 N , 4) m = 22.04 10-3 kg

Explanation:

1) The resonance occurs when the traveling wave bounces at the ends and the two waves are added, the ends as they are fixed have a node, the wavelength and the length of the string are related

         λ = 2L / n               n = 1, 2, 3 ...

In this case L = 0.62 m and n = 3

Let's calculate

        λ = 2 0.62 / 3

        λ = 0.413 m

2) the velocity related to wavelength and frequency

      v =  λ f

      v = 0.413 61

      v = 25,213 m / s

3) let's use the equation

     v = √T /μ

     T = v² μ

     T = 25,213² 3.4 10⁻⁴

     T = 0.216 N

4) the rope tension is proportional to the hanging weight

      T-W = 0

     T = W

    W = m g

    m = W / g

    m = 0.216 / 9.8

    m = 22.04 10-3 kg

5) n = 2

     λ = 2 0.62 / 2

     λ = 0.62 m

6) v =  λ f

     v = 0.62 61

     v = 37.82 m / s

7) T = v² μ

   T = 37.82² 3.4 10⁻⁴

   T = 0.486 N

8) m = W / g

   m = 0.486 / 9.8

   m = 49.62 10⁻³ kg

9) n = 1

    λ = 2 0.62

    λ = 1.24 m

    v = 1.24 61

    v = 75.64 m / s

    T = v² miu

    T = 75.64² 3.4 10⁻⁴

    T = 2.572 10⁻² N

    m = 2.572 10⁻² / 9.8

    m = 262.4 10⁻³ kg
