Speed is defined as the distance over time. So in measuring the speed of a car, the most manual thing that we can do besides using a speedometer is to measure a certain distance then measure the time at which the car passes that distance then divide the distance over the time. Then determine the speed limit.

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

A horizontal force acts on an object on a fric- tionless horizontal surface. If the force is halved and the mass of the object i
guapka [62]

(a)  If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)  if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

A 0.450 kg soccer ball has a kinetic energy of 119 J.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

V is approximately = 23m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = ½ mv²

Where m= mass = 0.450kg

V= velocity =?

K. E = 119J

Therefore

K. E = ½ mv²

Input values given

119= ½ × 0.450 × v²

Multiply both sides by 2

119 ×2  = 2 × 1/2 × 0.450 × v²

238= 0.450v²

Divide both sides by 0.450

238/0.450 = 0.450v²/0.450

v² = 528.89

Square root both sides

Sq rt v² = sq rt 528.89

V = 22.998m/s

V is approximately = 23m/s

You connect five identical resistors in series to a battery whose EMF is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is negligible. You
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total resistance in the circuit

= EMF / current in the circuit

= 12 / .969

= 12.383 ohm

This resistance consists of 5 identical resistances in series

resistance of each resistor

= 12.383 / 5

= 2.476 ohm .

potential difference on each

= current x resistance of each

= .969 x 2.476

= 2.399 V

= 2.4 V
