During a race, a sprinter increases from 5.0 m/s to 7.5 m/s over a period of 1.25s. What is the sprinter’s average acceleration during this period?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ m/s^2}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Acceleration can be found by dividing the change in velocity by the time.

[tex]a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}[/tex]

The time is 1.25 seconds.  The change in velocity is the difference between the initial velocity and the final velocity.

[tex]\Delta v=v_f-v_i[/tex]    The final velocity is 7.5 m/s and the initial velocity is 5.0 m/s[tex]\Delta v =7.5 \ m/s-5.0 \ m/s=2.5 \ m/s[/tex]  

[tex]\Delta v= 2.5 \ m/s\\t=1.25 \ s[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]a=\frac{2.5 \ m/s}{1.25 \ s}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]a=2 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The sprinter's average acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

Answer 2

Answer: 2 m/s^2

A 8,000 kg amazon truck carrying a 3000 kg package is moving at 20 m/s along a level road as shown to the left. The driver applies the brakes to slow down. The truck travels 50 meters while applying the brakes for 3.0 seconds. The package does not slide on the back of the truck. a) Calculate the rate of acceleration b) Calculate the minimum coefficient of friction between packages and the truck

Answers

Answer:

(a) -6.67 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

(b) 0.68

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the truck, [tex]m_1=8000[/tex] kg.

Mass of the package, [tex]m_2=3000[/tex] kg.

As the package does not slide, so the acceleration of both, truck as well as the package, is the same.

Let [tex]a\;\; m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration of the combined mass, m.

[tex]m=m_1+m_2= 8000+3000=11000[/tex] kg.

The initial velocity of the combined mass, u= 20 m/s.

Time required to stop, t=3 seconds.

Final velocity, v=0.

Displacement traveled, s=50 m.

(a) As  [tex]a=\frac {v-u}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-20}{3}=-\frac{20}{3} =6.67 m/s^2[/tex]

Hence the acceleration of the truck is [tex]-6.67 m/s^2.[/tex]

(b) Now, [tex]a=-6.67 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration of the package, this acceleration is due the frictional force, f.

Due to inertia, on application of break, the package have tendency to slide to left (in  the direction of velocity). But the package does not slides, this is only due to the frictional force, f, which acts in the right direction ( opposite to the direction of velocity).

So, the magnitude of frictional force required on [tex]m_2[/tex]  to avoid slide is

[tex]f=|m_2a|=\frac{20}{3}m_2\times(i)[/tex]

Now, let \mu be the minimum coefficient of the friction, so

The force due to friction, [tex]f_r= \mu N[/tex],

where [tex]\mu N[/tex] is the normal reaction.

[tex]N=m_2g[/tex], where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

So, [tex]f_r=\mu m_2g\cdots(ii)[/tex]

To avoid slide, [tex]f_r\geq f[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \mu m_2g\geq\frac{20}{3}m_2[/tex] [from (i)and (ii)]

[tex]\Rightarrow \mu\geq \frac{20}{3\times 9.81}[/tex]    [tex][ as \;g=9.81 m/s^2][/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \mu \geq 0.68[/tex]

Hence, the minimum value of coefficient of friction between packages and the truck os 0.68.

Answer:

Rt = 908.25 [ohm]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that the resistors connected in series are added up arithmetically.

In this case, R2 and R3 are in series therefore.

R₂₃ = 200 + 470

R₂₃ = 670 [ohm]

Now this new resistor (R₂₃) is connected in parallel with the resistor R4. therefore we must use the following arithmetic expression, to add resistances in parallel.

[tex]\frac{1}{R_{4-23} }= \frac{1}{R_{4}}+\frac{1}{R_{23} } \\\frac{1}{R_{4-23} }=\frac{1}{1800}+\frac{1}{670} \\R_{4-23}=488.25[ohm][/tex]

In this way R₁, R₅ and R₄₋₂₃ are connected in series.

Rt = R₁ + R₅ + R₄₋₂₃

Rt = 150 + 270 + 488.25

Rt = 908.25 [ohm]

6. A total of 135 J of work is done on a gaseous refrigerant as it undergoes compression. If
the internal energy of the gas increases by 114 J during the process, what is the total amount
of energy transferred as heat? Has energy been added to or removed from the refrigerant as
heat?

Answers

Answer:

Eh = 21 [J]

Removed as heat.

Explanation:

This is a case of energy conservation, we have to take into account the energies that go in and out of the system. In this case, 135 [J] of energy are entered in the form of work of the compressor to the chamber where the refrigerant is compressed, now of these 135 [J] 114 [J] were used as internal energy, this internal energy is used to increase the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.

In this way the rest of the energy of the 135 [J] was lost in the form of heat to determine this loss of energy, we simply perform the arithmetic subtraction.

Eh = 135 - 114 = 21 [J]

Eh = 21 [J]

Se lanza una pelota y regresa al punto de partida 2.5 s después ¿Que altura máxima alcanzara? ¿a que altura se hallaba 1 segundo después del lanzamiento?

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex] y_{max} = 7.7 m [/tex]

b) y = 7.4 m

Explanation:

a) La altura máxima que alcanza la pelota se puede encontrar usando la siguiente ecuación:

[tex] y_{max} = y_{0} + v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]    (1)

En donde:  

[tex]y_{0}[/tex]: es la altura inicial = 0

[tex]v_{0y}[/tex]: es la velocidad inicial en y

g: es la gravedad = 9.81 m/s²

t: es el tiempo

Primero debemos encontrar la velocidad inicial en y:

[tex] v_{fy} = v_{0y} - gt [/tex]

Sabiendo que la velocidad final en y es igual a cero (en la altura máxima), y con t = 1.25 s (la mitad del tiempo total) tenemos:

[tex] v_{0y} = gt = 9.81 m/s^{2}*1.25 s = 12.3 m/s [/tex]

Ahora, podemos encontrar la altura máxima:

[tex] y_{max} = v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = 12.3 m/s*1.25 s - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(1.25 s)^{2} = 7.7 m [/tex]

b) Podemos encontrar la altura cuando t = 1 s con la misma ecuación (1):

[tex]y_{max} = y_{0} + v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = 12.3 m/s*1 s - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(1 s)^{2} = 7.4 m[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la pelota se encontraba a 7.4 m luego de 1 segundo despúes del lanzamiento.

A skater of mass 60 kg has an initial velocity of 12 m/s. He slides on ice where the frictional force is 36 N. How far will the skater slide before he stops?

Answers

Answer:

d = 120 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. Where the energy in the final state (when the skater stops) is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on the skater in the initial state.

The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy.  As the track is horizontal there is no unevenness, in this way, there is no potential energy.

E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂

where:

E₁  = mechanical energy in the initial state [J] (units of Joules)

W₁₋₂ = work done between the states 1 and 2 [J]

E₂  = mechanical energy in the final state = 0

E₁ = Ek = kinetic energy [J]

E₁ = 0.5*m*v²

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

v = initial velocity = 12 [m/s]

Now, the work done is given by the product of the friction force by the distance. In this case, the work is negative because the friction force is acting in opposite direction to the movement of the skater.

W₁₋₂ = -f*d

where:

f = friction force = 36 [N]

d = distance [m]

Now we have:

0.5*m*v² - (f*d) = 0

0.5*60*(12)² - (36*d) = 0

4320 = 36*d

d = 120 [m]

What is pendulum?

Pendulum is defined as a body that is suspended from a fixed point and moves back and forth while being pulled by gravity. The pendulum is used to gauge the gravitational pull because the force of gravity causes it to swing back toward its average position. A pendulum's time period can be used to tell the time because it is constant.

The swing of the pendulum is 1.2 sec. per swing. They should take two seconds off the timing due to her presumably slow reaction time. A pendulum's total time should be divided by the quantity of oscillations in order to determine its time period. When compared to a pendulum with a shorter string, the one back and forth cycle of a longer-stringed pendulum requires more time to complete.

Thus, the pupil made the error of not simultaneously starting the watch and swinging the pendulum.

= E² / R

Given

E² / R = .30

when two batteries are connected

What, exactly, is moving across the medium?

Answers

Answer:

So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.
