A person ran westward for 1600 meters in 8 minutes. What was their speed?

Physics

Answer:

3.33 m/s

Explanation:

1600 divided by 8 comes out to 200, so supposing we're measuring the speed in terms of Meters Per Second, we would need to divide 200 by 60 to take account of the individual seconds as opposed to simply 200 meters per minute.

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.46 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 9.88 m/s. The roof mak
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

  1. The horizontal speed
  2. the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

x(t)=8.8 m/s *t

y(t)=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}

Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor

17.1m=4.49m/s*t+\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^{2}*t^{2}\\t=1.47s or t=-2.38s

Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled

x(1.47s)=8.8m/s*1.47s=12.94m

A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40-kg block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 22.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A. 1.172 metres

B. 6.82 Ns

C. 4.796 m/s

Explanation:

The total initial momentum is gotten by multiplying the mass and initial velocity of the both bodies.

The 1.40 kg block is at rest so velocity is zero and has no momentum.

The bullet of mass 22 g = 0.022 kg with velocity of 310 m/s

Momentum = 310*0.022

Momentum = 6.82 Ns.

If the bullet gets embedded they will both have common velocity v

6.82 = (0.022+1.40)v

6.82 = 1.422v

V = 6.82/1.422

V = 4.796 m/s

How high the block will rise after the bullet is embedded is given by

H = (U²Sin²tita)/2g

Where tita is 90°

H = (4.796² * sin²(90))/(2*9.81)

H =( 23.001616*1)/19.62

H = 1.172 metres
