You are walking toward the back of a train that is moving forward with a constant velocity. The train's velocity relative to the

ground is 30 m/s forward. Your velocity relative to the train is 1.5 m/s backward. How fast are you moving relative to the ground?

Answer:

28.5 m/s

Explanation:

There are 2 different velocities: the train velocity and yours velocity. They're in opposite directions, so one is positive and other is negative. Take the forward direction as the positive:

V = +30 -1.5

V = 28.5 m/s

Assume your car reaches a speed of 21.7 m/s at a steady rate for 5.05 s after the light turns green. (a) What distance have you
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The distance and average speed are 54.79 m and 10.85 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 21.7 m/s

Time = 5.05 s

(a). We need to calculate the distance

Firstly we will find the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value in the equation

a = \dfrac{21.7-0}{5.05}

a = 4.297 m/s^2

Now, using equation of motion again

For distance,

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times4.3\times(5.05)^2

s=54.79\ m

The distance is 54.79 m.

(b). We need to calculate the average speed during this time

v_{avg}=\dfrac{D}{T}

Where, D = total distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{54.79}{5.05}

v_{avg}=10.85\ m/s

Hence, The distance and average speed are 54.79 m and 10.85 m.

A powerful missile reaches a speed of 5 kilometers per second in 10 seconds after its launch. What is the average acceleration o
bixtya [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

5 Km=5000m

so Δv=5000 m/sec

a=Δv/Δt

=5000/10

a=500 m/sec²                 as 500÷1000=0.5 Km

a=0.5 km/sec²

so D is the right answer.

A park ranger driving on a back country road suddenly sees a deer in his headlights 20
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

17.1

Explanation:

The distance ahead, of the deer when it is sighted by the park ranger, d = 20 m

The initial speed with which the ranger was driving, u = 11.4 m/s

The acceleration rate with which the ranger slows down, a = (-)3.80 m/s² (For a vehicle slowing down, the acceleration is negative)

The distance required for the ranger to come to rest, s = Required

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the distance the ranger's vehicle travels before coming to rest (the distance 's'), is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

∴ s = (v² - u²)/(2·a)

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 m/s (the vehicle comes to rest (stops))

Plugging in the values for 'v', 'u', and 'a', gives;

s = (0² - 11.4²)/(2 × -3.8) = 17.1

The distance the required for the ranger's vehicle to com to rest, s = 17.1 (meters).
