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

Physics

olya-2409 [2.1K]2 years ago
4 0

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.

A 39.3 g glass thermometer reads 22.0oC before it
ratelena [41]

Answer:

44.85C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of glass thermometer be 0.84 J/g°C

Let the specific heat of water be 4.186 j/g °C

Let the water density be 1kg/L

136 mL of water = 0.136L of water = 0.136 kg of water = 136 g of water

Since the change of temperature on the glass thermometer is 43.6 - 22 = 21.6 C. We can then calculate the heat energy absorbed to it:

E = m_gc_g \Delta T = 39.3 * 0.84 * 21.6 = 713.06 J

Assume no energy is lost to outside, by the law of energy conservation, this heat energy would come from water

E = m_wc_w(T - T_w) = 713.06

136*4.186(T - 43.6) = 713.06

T - 43.6 = \frac{713.06}{136*4.186} = 1.25

T = 1.25 + 43.6 = 44.85C

A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

State Archimedes' principle.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that, when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body.

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle allows the buoyancy of an object partially or fully immersed in a fluid to be calculated. The downward force on the object is simply its weight. Thus, the net force on the object is the difference between the magnitudes

of the buoyant force and its weight. If this net force is positive, the object rises; if negative, the object sinks; and if zero, the object is neutrally buoyant - that is, it remains in place without either rising or sinking. In simple words,

When the rocket launched the astronauts aboard experienced an acceleration of 32 m/s^2. If one of the astronauts had a mass of 6
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The question is somewhat vague in that acceleration is not exactly defined:

Usually a = (v2 - v1) / t    which would imply that

a = 32 / g = 32 / 9.8 = 3.27   the acceleration due to change in speed of the rocket

One can also say that the astronaut experiences an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 just by being motionless on the surface of the earth.

Then a = (32 - 9.8) / 9.8 = 2.27 due to the acceleration of the rocket

If we assume the first condition then

F = 65 kg * 3.27 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2083 N
