A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

$v_1=89km/h$

$t_1=30min$

$v_2=100km/h$

$t_2=12min$

$v_3=40km/h$

$t_3=45 min$

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute= $\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour$

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance= $speed\times time$

$d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km$

$d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km$

$d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km$

Total distance= $d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km$

Average speed= $\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}$

Using the formula

Average speed= $\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h$

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km

1-A train travels 100 km to reach town A in one hour and 15 min. The train stops at station A for 45 minutes. Then it travels 15

kirill [66]

Answer 1) : 62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

Explanation:

1) Displacement of the train = 100 km + 150 km = 250 km

Total time train took =1 hour 15 min+ 45 min + 2 hours = 240 min = 4 hours

Average velocity= $\frac{Displacement}{time}=\frac{250 km}{4 hour}=62.5 km/h$

62.5 km/hour is the average velocity of the train.

2) The acceleration of the car, a= 1.2 $m/s^2$

Distance covered by the car,s = 75 m

Initial velocity of the car , $v_i$ = 6 m/s

Final velocity of thre car , $v_f$ =?

Using third equation of motion:

$v_{f}^2=v_{i}^2+2as=(6 m/s)^2+2\times 1.2 m/s\times 75 m=216 m^2/s^2$

$v_{f}=14.69 m/s$

The final velocity of the car at the end of 75 m is 14.69 m/s

What happens to the object if the line crosses the x-axis from the positive portion of a velocity versus time diagram?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A velocity time graph shows the change of velocity of an object with respect ot time. If the slope of the graph is increasing in the postive region, it means that the velocity is changing, if the slope is decreasing, it means the the velocity is decreasing, but the object is moving in the same direction (positve direction).

If this slope intersects the graph at x-axis, it means that the body has 0 velocity and has become still. After that, if the line enters in the negative region, it means that its velocity is started to increases again, but the body is movinging in the opposite direction (negative direction)

A young girl slides down a rope. As she slides

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The girl will move with constant velocity

Explanation:

If after a certain time t_0 the velocity of the girl is v_0 =gt_0 and the upward force on the girl due to rope is mg ,where g is gravitational acceleration. Then the girl will move down with the constant velocity v_0 .

The girl will move with constant velocity,as explained above.
