How can you change your velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
4 0

You could change your velocity by altering both your speed and direction.

For example, if you are running north at 10 miles per hour, and turn into a street going east, then slow down to 5 miles per hour, you would have changed your velocity.

A woman on a bridge 82.2 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an a
solong [7]

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m =  (4.9 m/s²)t²

t²  = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

A hollow cubical box is 0.221 m on an edge. This box is floating in a lake with 1/4 of its height beneath the surface. The walls
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

3/4 filled with water

Explanation:

x = Fraction of box filled

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\rho_w = Density of water

V = Volume of water

Weight of empty box is equal to the weight of the water displaced

W_b=\frac{1}{4}V\times \rho_wg

As all the forces are conserved

W_b+xV\rho_wg=V\rho_wg\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}V\times \rho_wg+xV\rho_wg=V\rho_wg\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}+x=1\\\Rightarrow x=1-\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3}

So, the box starts to sink when the box is 3/4 filled with water

The greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature of planets
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Green house effect:

 Temperature of atmosphere is going to  increased continuously, because infrared light absorbed by gas .This increased in temperature atmosphere    is called green house effect.

The green houses gases are as follows

,Carbon diaoxide,water vapor  ,,Carbon diaoxide ,Methane ,,Carbon diaoxide oxide,CFCs ,ozone.

So the option c is correct.

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km. What is his displacement from the
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
