Answer:

Explanation:

See the attachment for the details. A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times. The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.

The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:

(a) How far did he travel?

103 km

(b) What was his average speed?

12.88 km/h

(c) What was his displacement?

73.82 km

(d) What was his average velocity?

9.228 km/h

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A ball is initially thrown downwards with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the top of a 300 m

Sholpan [36]

Using the 3rd equation of motion:

= v² - u² = 2gs ------ [g = Acceleration due to gravity]

= v² - 20² = 2 × 10 × 300

= v² - 400 = 6000

= v² = 6000 - 400

= v = √5600

= v = 74.83 m/s

And yeah it's done :)

Sawyer launches his 180 kg raft on the Mississippi River by pushing on it with a force of 75N. How long must Sawyer push on the

Daniel [21]

Answer: 4.8 s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m=180 kg$ the mass of the raft

$F=75 N$ the force applied by Sawyer

$V=2 m/s$ the raft's final speed

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)

We have to find the time $t$

Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:

$F=m.a$ (1)

Where $a$ is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:

$a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}=\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$F=m\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}}$ (3)

Where $t_{o}=0$

Isolating $t$ from (3):

$t=\frac{m(V-V_{o})}{F}$ (4)

$t=\frac{180 kg(2 m/s-0 m/s)}{75 N}$

Finally:

$t=4.8 s$

20 POINTS 20 POINTS On a bright sunny day you decide to take a walk. You begin at your home and walk 1000 meters to an ice cream

Kay [80]

Answer:

A) Total Distance = 2000 m and Total displacement = 0 m

B) Average Speed = 44.44 m/min and Average Velocity = 0 m/min

C) Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s and Average velocity = 0 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance to reach ice cream shop from home = 1000 meters

Therefore distance to get back home would also be 1000 meters.

Total distance traveled = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 metres

Since journey started at home and ended at home, then total displacement = 0 metres.

B) Average speed = Total distance/total time.

Total time = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 minutes

Since total distance = 2000 m

Then;

Average speed = 2000/45

Average speed = 44.44 m/min

Average velocity = Total displacement/total time

Average velocity = 0/45 = 0 m/min

C) We now want answers in B to be in m/s.

Total time = 45 minutes.

From conversion, 60 seconds make 1 minute. Thus, 45 minutes = 45 × 60 = 2700 seconds

Thus;

Average Speed = 2000/2700

Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s

Average displacement = 0/2700 = 0 m/s

9. A car driver brakes gently. Her car slows down front --

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2
