What is the average speed of an object that travels 6 meters in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters in 1 second?

Physics

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

Average Speed = \frac{Total Distance}{Total time}

Plug in the numbers, it will be (6m + 3m) divided by (2s + 1s), which is 9m/3s, which equals to 3m/s.

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Before we solve this, we should know this fact:

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centres of the two objects. It can be shown by this:

F ∝ \frac{Mm}{ {d}^{2} }

Now, let us check all the options.

A. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

<em>This </em><em>statement </em><em>is </em><em>true.</em>

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the centre of the earth. If, we go up the surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of the earth increases and hence the value of force of gravity decrease. So, force of gravity decreases with altitude.

B. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>false.</em>

We have already got the result in option A. that the force of gravity decreases with altitude. It never increases with altitude.

C. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>false.</em>

The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. So, if increase our mass, then the force of gravity will also increase and if we decrease our mass, then the force of gravity decreases.

D. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> is</em><em> </em><em>true.</em>

As mentioned earlier in option C., the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the earth and another object. So, as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

<em>This </em><em>statement</em><em> is</em><em> </em><em>true</em><em>.</em>

Here, we have to consider a different formula. According to Newton's Second Law,

F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In other words,

F ∝ a, i.e., force is directly proportional to acceleration.

We know, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an body within a time period.

So, if speed is increased, then acceleration will also be greater, which results in the increase of force. So, as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

<u>Answers:</u>

A: As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

D: As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E: As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Hope you could understand.

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position
Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is <u>6.4 m.</u>

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}

Write an equation for x.

dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m

Substitute 2.0s for t.

x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is <u>6.4m</u>

A 920-kg compact car moving at 92 m/s has approximately 3,893,440 Joules of kinetic energy. What is the change in kinetic energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy = 3297280 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 920 kg

Speed of a car, v = 92 m/s

Kinetic energy, K = 3,893,440 J

If the speed of a car, V = 36 m/s

Net kinetic energy is given by :

K_n=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\times (36)^2\\\\K_n=596160\ J

The change in kinetic energy = 3,893,440 - 596160

= 3297280 J

So, the change in kinetic energy of the car is 3297280 J.
