Hey!

---------------------------------------------------

Formula: Distance / Time = Speed

---------------------------------------------------

Solution:

Speed = 15/20 = 0.75cm/sec

Velocity = 5/20 = 0.25cm/sec

10 + 5 = 15 (distance traveled)

---------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Speed = 0.75cm/sec

Velocity = 0.25cm/sec going forward.

---------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance and time and velocity is the ratio of displacement and time.

Distance traveled = 10 + 5 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Displacement = 10 - 5 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Time = 20 seconds

$\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{\texttt{Distance}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{0.15}{20}=7.5\times 10^{-3}m/s\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{\texttt{Displacement}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{0.05}{20}=2.5\times 10^{-3}m/s$

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/

Eva8 [605]

A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J$

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, $\Delta h=28 m$ , so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
$\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J$

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
$U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J$
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J$
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
$E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J$

Determine the magnitude of the momentum of a ... 107-kg halfback moving eastward at 8 m/s.The halfback's momentum in kgm/s is:

Veronika [31]

Given:

The mass of the halfback is m = 107 kg

The speed of the halfback is v = 8 m/s

To find the momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of the halfback is

$\begin{gathered} p=\text{ mv} \\ =\text{ 107}\times8 \\ =\text{ 856 kg m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the momentum of the halfback is 856 kg m/s

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then slows down the man continues

Stells [14]

C. inertia. the man is sent flying off the bus because of his weight and the sudden stop of the bus. this effect is called inertia. an example of gravity would be throwing an apple up and having it come to the ground. an example of weight would be putting a man and an elephant on a scale and having the elephant come down while the man goes up.
