If an athlete takes 60s to complete a race of 300m find his speed

Physics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5m/s

Explanation:

you just have to divide the distance covered and the time it takes to cover the distance.

v= d/t

= 300m/60s

=5m/s

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing
babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5      (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) =  (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing  by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 =  (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}

x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = 3

x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}

x_2 = -1\; 1/3

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.04 m away from a waterfall 0.585 m in heigh
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

V₀ = 5.47 m/s

Explanation:

The jumping motion of the Salmon can be modelled as the projectile motion. So, we use the formula for the range of projectile motion here:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 3.04 m

θ = Launch Angle = 41.7°

V₀ = Minimum Launch Speed = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

3.04 m = V₀² [Sin2(41.7°)]/(9.81 m/s²)

V₀² = 3.04 m/(0.10126 s²/m)

V₀ = √30.02 m²/s²

<u>V₀ = 5.47 m/s</u>

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!
