what is the average speed of (a) a car that travels 400m in 20s. and (b) an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes​

Physics
1 answer:
zmey [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a) 20 m/s

b) 37.5 m)s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

=> (a) average speed of a car that travels 400m in 20s

= 400/20 = 20 m/s

& (b) average speed of an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes (or 4×60=240 seconds)

= 1500/240 = 37.5 m/s

A flowerpot falls from the ledge of an apartment building. A person in an apartment below, coincidentally holding a stopwatch, n
valkas [14]

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}

u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m

an 1150kg elevator moving down speeds up at a rate of 3.5m/s. what is the tension in the supporting cables?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:

F_{net} = F_g - F = m\cdot g - F\\

We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:

1150kg\cdot 3.5\frac{m}{s^2}= 1150kg \cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-F\\\implies F = 1150kg\cdot(9.8-3.5)\frac{m}{s^2}= 7245N

The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N

Which wave characteristics is defined as the number of cycles of a periodic wave occurring per unit time?
Assoli18 [71]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Frequency

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Waves are disturbances that travel through a material medium. There are several characteristics of waves, which includes; wavelength, frequency, period and amplitude. </u></em>
  • Amplitude is the maximum displacement of wave particles, or simply the height of the wave, measured in meters.
  • Wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a transverse wave or between two successive rarefaction or compressions in a longitudinal wave, measured in meters.
  • Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
  • <em><u>Frequency is the number of complete waves or cycles that pass a point in one second, measured is inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).</u></em>

What is the term for substances that have several unpaired electrons and are strongly magnetic
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Scientific definitions for ferromagnetic

The property of being strongly attracted to either pole of a magnet. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, contain unpaired electrons, each with a small magnetic field of its own, that align readily with each other in response to an external magnetic field.

A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3. 0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the
Margaret [11]

Hi there!

\boxed{\omega = 0.38 rad/sec}

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

\large\boxed{L_i = L_f}

Recall the equation for angular momentum:

L = I\omega

We can begin by writing out the scenario as a conservation of angular momentum:

I_m\omega_m + I_b\omega_b = \omega_f(I_m + I_b)

I_m = moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (kgm²)

\omega_m = angular velocity of merry go round (rad/sec)

\omega_f = final angular velocity of COMBINED objects (rad/sec)

I_b = moment of inertia of boy (kgm²)

\omega_b= angular velocity of the boy (rad/sec)

The only value not explicitly given is the moment of inertia of the boy.

Since he stands along the edge of the merry go round:

I = MR^2

We are given that he jumps on the merry-go-round at a speed of 5 m/s. Use the following relation:

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

L_b = MR^2(\frac{v}{R}) = MRv

Plug in the given values:

L_b = (20)(3)(5) = 300 kgm^2/s

Now, we must solve for the boy's moment of inertia:

I = MR^2\\I = 20(3^2) = 180 kgm^2

Use the above equation for conservation of momentum:

600(0) + 300 = \omega_f(180 + 600)\\\\300 = 780\omega_f\\\\\omega = \boxed{0.38 rad/sec}
