Forget the numbers and think about how speed works for a second. If a plane flies at 600km/h, this means that it will fly exactly 600 km in 1 hour. So, how long would it take to fly 2400 km??

2400/600 = 4hours.

Do this for all three and add up the hours.

Total time: 12 hours

Average speed is the total distance / total time.

So,

Add up all the distances and divide by 12.

(2400+1200+2500) / 12

Average speed: 508.33333333 km/h

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a
KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) 0.80 kg

b) 2.12 s

c) 1.093 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We have the following data:

k=7 N/m is the spring constant

A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m is the amplitude of oscillation

V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s is the velocity of the block when x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f} (1)

Where:

U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2} is the initial potential energy

K_{o}=0  is the initial kinetic energy

U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2} is the final potential energy

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} is the final kinetic energy

Then:

k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} (2)

Isolating m:

m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}} (3)

m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}} (4)

m=0.80 kg (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period T is given by:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}} (7)

T=2.12 s (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration a_{max} is when the force is maximum F_{max}, as well :

F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max} (9)

Being x_{max}=A

Hence:

m.a_{max}=kA (10)

Finding a_{max}:

a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m} (11)

a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg} (12)

Finally:

a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}

A student sects a leaf of length 7.2 cm to draw. Her drawing is 28.8 cm in length. What is the magnification of the drawing?
Alina [70]

Answer:

A) x4

Explanation:

Magnification is equal to image size divided by the actual size, or M = I/A.

The image size is the student's drawing, which is 28.8 cm, and the actual size is 7.2 cm. Divide them, and cancel out the units, and you should get:

28.8 cm/7.2 cm = 4

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>
