What is Marie's instantaneous speed at 20 minutes in miles/min?

Physics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

 It can be mathematically expressed as;

        Instantaneous speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

    Instantaneous speed  = \frac{5 miles }{20mins}   = 0.25miles/min

wel

Answer:

a) v=7.32m/s

b) \alpha =-35º

c) ΔK=-1094.62J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the collision between Daniel and Rebecca is elastic which means they do not stick together

So, If we analyze the collision we got

p_{1x}=p_{2x}

To simplify the problem, lets name D for Daniel and R for Rebecca

a) p_{D1x}+p_{R1x}=p_{D2x}+p_{R2x}

Since Daniel's initial velocity is 0

m_{R}v_{Rx}=m_{D}v_{D2x}+m_{R}v_{R2x}

v_{D2x}=\frac{m_{R}*v_{R1x}-m_{R}*v_{R2x}}{m_{D}}

v_{D2x}=\frac{(45kg)(14m/s)-(45kg)(8cos(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=6m/s

Now, lets analyze the movement in the vertical direction

p_{1y}=p_{2y}

Since p_{1y}=0

0=m_{D}v_{D2y}+m_{R}v_{R2y}

v_{D2y}=-\frac{m_{R}v_{2Ry}}{m_{D}}=-\frac{(45kg)(8sin(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=-4.21m/s

Now, we can find the magnitude of Daniel's velocity after de collision

v_{D}=\sqrt{(6m/s)^2+(-4.21m/s)^2}=7.32m/s

b) To know whats the direction of Daniel's velocity we need to solve the arctan of the angle

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-4.21}{6})=-35º

c) The change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK=K_{2}-K_{1}

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}[(45kg)(8m/s)^2+(70kg)(7.32m/s)^2-(45kg)(14m/s)^2]=-1094.62J

That means that the kinetic energy decreases

A piece of wire 25 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

10.87 m

Explanation:

Total length of the wire = 25 m

Let the length of one piece is y and other piece is 25 - y

Let the side of square is a.

So, 4 a = y

a = y / 4

And the side of triangle is b

3 b = (25 - y)

b = (25 - y) / 3

Area of square, A1 = side x side =

A1 = y² / 16

Area of equilateral triangle, A2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times b^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\frac{\left ( 25-y \right )^{2}}{9}

Total area, A = A1 + A2

A=\frac{y^{2}}{16}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\frac{\left ( 25-y \right )^{2}}{9}

For maxima and minima, fins dA /dy

\frac{dA}{dy}=\frac{y}{8}-\frac{1.732}{18} \times \frac{25-y}{1}

It is equal to zero.

\frac{y}{8}=\frac{1.732}{18} \times \frac{25-y}{1}

9y = 173.2 -6.928 y

15.928 y = 173.2

y = 10.87 m

So, the length of wire to make square is 10.87 m.

A football is thrown at an angle of 44◦ above the horizontal. Assume the ball is throw and received at the same height. To throw
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball is 23.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 44°

Range = 55.7 m

We need to calculate the initial speed of the ball

Using formula of range

R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Where. u = initial velocity

r = range

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

55.7=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\times44}{9.8}

u^2=\dfrac{55.7\times9.8}{\sin88}

u=\sqrt{\dfrac{55.7\times9.8}{\sin88}}

u=23.3\ m/s

Hence, The initial speed of the ball is 23.3 m/s.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

There is a gravitational force between the hand and the cup, but Earth's gravity is stronger, so Earth's gravity pulls the cup down.
