A student walks 4 blocks east, 1 blocks north, 2 block west and then 1 blocks south in an hour. Her average velocity is?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a student walks 4 blocks east, 1 blocks north, 2 block west and then 1 blocks south in an hour.

The total time = 1 hour

The vertical displacement = 1 - 1

Vertical displacement = 0

Horizontal displacement = 4 - 2

Horizontal displacement = 2

Total displacement = sqrt (2^2 - 0^2)

Total Displacement = 2

Average velocity = displacement/time

average velocity = 2 / 1

Average velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, her average velocity is 2 metres per second.

Complete Question

A boy stands on a diving board and tosses a stone into a swimming pool. The stone is thrown from a height of 2.50 m above the water surface with a velocity of 4.00 m/s at an angle of 60.0 degrees above the horizontal.  As the stone strikes the water surface, it immediately slows down exactly half the speed it had when it struck the water and maintains that speed while in the water.  After the stone enters the water, it moves in a straight line in the direction of the velocity it had when it struck the water.  If the pool is 3.00 m deep, how much time elapses between the stone is thrown and when it strikes the bottom of the pool?

Answer:

The value  is  [tex]t_t = 1.9182 \ s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the throw is  [tex]h = 2.50 \ m[/tex]

    The velocity is  [tex]v = 4.00 \ m/s[/tex]

     The angle is  [tex]\theta = 60.0^o[/tex]

          The depth of the pool is  [tex]d = 3.00 \ m[/tex]

Generally the velocity of the stone towards the horizontal direction is  

       [tex]v_h = v * cos (\theta)[/tex]

=>    [tex]v_h = 4.00 * cos (60.0)[/tex]

=>    [tex]v_h = 2 \ m/s [/tex]      

Generally the velocity of the stone towards the vertical direction is  

       [tex]v_v = v * sin (\theta)[/tex]

=>    [tex]v_v = 4.00 * sin (60.0)[/tex]

=>    [tex]v_v = 3.46 \ m/s [/tex]  

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

        [tex]s = v_v t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]

Here s = -h , the reason for the negative sign is because the distance traveled is towards the negative y-axis

t is the time taken by the stone to travel through air

 So

       [tex] -2.50= 3.46 t + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8)t^2[/tex]

Here  g =  -9.8 m/s^2  because the direction of movement is in the negative y axis

=>    [tex] 4.9 t^2 -3.46t - 2.50[/tex]

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula   we obtain t to be  

      t =  1.15 s

Generally from kinematic equation

     [tex]v_j = v_v +gt[/tex]

Here  

is the velocity of the stone just before it hits the water

  =>        [tex] v_j = 3.46 + -9.8(1.15)[/tex]

   =>        [tex] v_j = -7.81 m/s [/tex]

The negative sign just signify's the direction of the velocity

The magnitude is  

           [tex] |v_j| = 7.81 m/s [/tex]

Generally the speed of the stone in water is  

         [tex]v_w = \frac{|v_j|}{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]v_w = \frac{7.81 }{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]v_w = 3.905 \ m/s [/tex]

The time taken to travel through the water is  

      [tex]t_w = \frac{d}{v_w}[/tex]

=>    [tex]t_w = \frac{3}{3.905}[/tex]

=>    [tex]t_w = 0.7682 \ s [/tex]

Generally the total  time taken is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t_t = t + t_w[/tex]

=>     [tex]t_t = 1.15 + 0.7682[/tex]

=>     [tex]t_t = 1.9182 \ s[/tex]

The total time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the pool is 1.92s

The motion of the stone to the bottom of the pool:

Given information:

height above the water surface from which the stone is thrown, h = 2.5m

the initial velocity of the stone, u = 4 m/s

the angle from the horizontal θ = 60°

The vertical velocity of the stone in given by:

u' = usin60

u' = 4sin60

u' = 3.46 m/s

(i) The time taken by the stone to reach the water surface:

From the second equation of motion we get:

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

the stone is thrown up at an angle of 60°, so the vertical velocity is upwards, the final position of the stone is at the surface of the water, which is 2.5m downwards from the position it is thrown, also the acceleration due to gravity is downwards. So if we consider upwards as a positive direction and downwards as a negative direction, we get:

-2.5 = 3.46t - 0.5×9.8t²

-2.5 = 3.46t - 4.9t²

solving the above we get:

t = 1.15 s

The vertical speed of stone when it touches the surface of water;

v = u + gt

v = 3.46 - 9.8×1.15

v = -7.81 m/s

or, 7.81 m/s downwards

(ii) Motion of the stone to the bottom of the pool:

In this case, the motion is in a straight line, and the stone descends with constant speed which is half the speed of the stone when it touches the surface of the water, so:

u = -7.81/2

u = -3.9 m/s

The depth of the pool is d = -3m

so time taken:

t' = d/u = (-3)/(-3.9)

t' = 0.77 s

So the total time taken is:

T = t + t'

T = 1.15 + 0.77

T = 1.92 s

3. The weather conditions are identical for both players (wind, climate etc..)

4. both players meet the ball squarly so as to hit the ball in the same place for the best outcome

Answers

It's definitely a Physics question !

Here's how I would look at it:

The player doesn't hit the ball. The bat does.

You said that the two bats are identical, and both players swing the bat with the same speed.

So at the point where the bat meets the ball, the conditions are the same both times.

The ball can't tell the difference.

Its history will unfold identically after both hits.

A change in the gravitational force acting on an object will affect the object’s

A. Mass
B. Coefficient of static friction
C. Weight
D. Inertia

Answers

c. weight.

Explanation:

I had the exact same question

a change in gravitational force affects weight. The correct answer is: c. Weight

The gravitational force is given by the law of universal gravitation

         F = [tex]G \frac{M m}{r^2}[/tex]

where F is the force, G the constant of universal attraction, M and m the mass of the two bodies, r the distance between the bodies

In the case that a body is lying on the surface of the planet, the distance is the radius of the planet, in this case the radius of the Earth

       r = R_e  

       F = [tex]G \frac{M m}{R_e^2}[/tex]

For convenience we can define a new variable called acceleration of gravity (g)

       g = [tex]G \frac{M}{R_e^2}[/tex]

we substitute

      F = g m

This amount is called body weight, so a change in gravitational force creates a change in weight, therefore the correct answer is: C Weight

In conclusion a change in gravitational force affects weight, therefore the correct answer is:  c. Weight

Explanation: Divide the 300 by 25 you get 12 . If your wondering how i got 25N in the eqaution it because you change 25kg to 25N. I hope this helps you

Acceleration of an object is the force divided by mass. The acceleration of the roller coaster to push the 25 kg person with a force of 300 N is 12 m/s².

What is acceleration ?

Acceleration is a physical quantity measuring the rate of change in velocity. It is a vector quantity having both magnitude and acceleration. Acceleration has the unit of m/s².

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration.

F = ma

Given that, mass of the person = 25 kg

force applied on the body = 300 N

acceleration = force/mass

a = 300 N/25 kg = 12 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the roller coaster is 12 m/s².

the equation of a circle is Pythagorean theorem

x² + y² = r²    (where r is the radius of a circle)

distance between points  

(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² = r²

(7 - 3)² + (1 - (-2))² = r²

(x - 4)² + (y - 8)² = 26

(x - 4)(x - 4) +  (y - 8)(y - 8) = 26

x² - 8x + 16 + y² - 16y + 64 -26 = 0
