Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house, but continues 200 meters past his

house to talk to a neighbor. It takes Ben 17 minutes from the time he leaves his house until he stops to talk to his neighbor. What is Ben’s average velocity?

71 MPM (Meters Per Minute)
S = Speed
D = Distance
T = Time
to find the Speed you divide D by your T

Answer:

0.196 m/s

Explanation:

Average displacement is defined as the total displacement covered to the total time taken.

Total displacement = 500 - 500 - 200 = - 200 m

Total time taken = 17 minutes = 17 x 60 = 1020 second

So, Average velocity = 200 / 1020 = 0.196 m/s (magnitude only)

In a solution,a Is the substance being dissolved

Elena-2011 [213]

In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.

In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.

For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

$N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H}$ where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

$N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3}$ and simplifying a bit:

$N=48.0(.5)^4$ and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?

Elina [12.6K]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to $9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}$

Where:

$m=mass\\v=velocity$

Have a nice day!

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

$F = 159.7 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

$mg - T = ma$

for uniform cylinder we will have

$TR = I\alpha$

so we have

$T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}Ma$

now we have

$mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a$

$a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}$

$a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}$

$a = 7 m/s^2$

now we have

$T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}$

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)$

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

$v_f - v_i = at$

$11.8 - 0 = 7 t$

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

$F = T + Mg$

$F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)$

$F = 159.7 N$
