A jogger runs 4.0 km [W] in 0.50 h, then turns and runs 1.0 km [E] in 0.20 h, then 1.5 km [N] in 0.25 h, then 3.0 km [E] in 0.75

h and finally 1.5 km [S] in 0.30 h.  What is the average velocity?

After you draw the displacement vectors you will find the gogger returned to the start location
velocity = (displacement) /  ( t )      >>>>>>>>>>displacement = 0 ( jogger returns to its started point) , t = 0.5 h + 0.2h + 0.25h + 0.75h = 1.7 h
So v = 0/ 1.7 h = 0

This is a sneaky trick question, to help you discover whether you know
one of the differences between velocity and speed.
=======================================
If you make a list of the distances and directions, and ignore the times,
you find these:

4 - west,  (3 + 1) - east . . . . .  zero in the east/west direction

1.5 - north,  1.5 - south . . . . . zero in the north/south direction

This jogger went out, had a nice jog around the neighborhood,and ended up exactly where he started.

Average velocity = (distance between start point and end point) / (time)

IF the question asked for average SPEED, then you would need the total distance, and divide it by the total time.  But it asks for VELOCITY, and <u>that</u> only involves the straight distance between the start point and the end point, regardless of the route taken in between.

The jogger ended up exactly where he started.  The distance between start and end points was zero.  Average velocity is  (zero) / (time) .  And that fraction is going to be <em><u>Zero</u></em>, no matter how long or how short the trip was, and no matter how much time it took.

A pendulum is swinging next to a wall. The distance from the bob of the pendulum to the wall varies in a periodic way that can b
nexus9112 [7]

The formula of the trigonometric function that models the distance HHH from the pendulum's bob to the wall after t seconds is

H(t) = 15 -6sin(2.5π(t -0.5))

Detailed explanation:

The function can be expressed as the following for the midline M, amplitude A, period T, and time t0 at which the function deviates from the midline:

 H(t) = M -Asin(2π/T(t -t0))

The equation is based on the parameters M=15, A=6, T=0.8, and t0 = 0.5.

H(t) is equal to 15 -6sin(2.5π(t -0.5))

<h3>What is function?</h3>

The trigonometric functions in mathematics are real functions that connect the right-angled triangle's angle to the ratios of its two side lengths .In all areas of study that involve geometry, such as geodesy, solid mechanics, celestial mechanics, and many others, they are widely used.

The correct question is:

A pendulum is swinging next to a wall. The distance from the bob of the swinging pendulum to the wall varies in a periodic way that can be modeled by a trigonometric function.

The function has period 0.80.80, point, 8 seconds, amplitude 6 \text{ cm}6 cm6, start text, space, c, m, end text, and midline H = 15 \text{ cm}H=15 cmH, equals, 15, start text, space, c, m, end text. At time t = 0.5t=0.5t, equals, 0, point, 5 seconds, the bob is at its midline, moving towards the wall.

Find the formula of the trigonometric function that models the distance HHH from the pendulum's bob to the wall after t seconds. Define the function using radians.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

Can someone awnser this
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The force of gravity exerts a downward force. The floor exerts an upward force. Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other.
