Answer:

(a) The kinetic energy of the bowling ball just before it hits the matress is 102.974 joules.

(b) The work done by the gravitational force of Earth on bowling ball during the first part of the fall is 102.974 joules.

(c) Work done by gravitational force on bowling ball when mattress is compressed is 10.298 joules.

(d) The work done by the mattress on the bowling ball is 113.272 joules.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. The complete question is:

In a mattress test, you drop a 7.0 kg bowling ball from a height of 1.5 m above a mattress, which as a result compresses 15 cm as the ball comes to a stop.

(a) What is the kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the mattress?  

(b) How much work does the gravitational force of the earth do on the ball as it falls, for the first part of the fall (from the moment you drop it to just before it hits the mattress)?  

(c) How much work does the gravitational force do on the ball while it is compressing the mattress?

(d) How much work does the mattress do on the ball? (You’ll need to use the results of parts (a) and (c)

(a) Based on the Principle of Energy Conservation, we know that ball-earth system is conservative, so that kinetic energy is increased at the expense of gravitational potential energy as ball falls:

[tex]K_{1}+U_{g,1} = K_{2}+U_{g,2}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]K_{1}[/tex], [tex]K_{2}[/tex] - Kinetic energies at top and bottom, measured in joules.

[tex]U_{g,1}[/tex], [tex]U_{g,2}[/tex] - Gravitational potential energies at top and bottom, measured in joules.

Now we expand the expression by definition of gravitational potential energy:

[tex]U_{g,1}-U_{g,2} = K_{2}-K_{1}[/tex]

[tex]K_{2}= m\cdot g \cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})+K_{1}[/tex] (Eq. 1b)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the bowling ball, measured in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]z_{1}[/tex], [tex]z_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final heights of the bowling ball, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]m = 7\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]z_{1}= 1.5\,m[/tex], [tex]z_{2} = 0\,m[/tex] and [tex]K_{1} = 0\,J[/tex], the kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the matress:

[tex]K_{2} = (7\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (1.5\,m-0\,m)+0\,m[/tex]

[tex]K_{2} = 102.974\,J[/tex]

The kinetic energy of the bowling ball just before it hits the matress is 102.974 joules.

(b) The gravitational work done by the gravitational force of Earth ([tex]\Delta W[/tex]), measured in joules, is obtained by Work-Energy Theorem and definition of gravitational potential energy:

[tex]\Delta W = U_{g,1}-U_{g,2}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta W = m\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})[/tex] (Eq. 2)

If we know that [tex]m = 7\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]z_{1}= 1.5\,m[/tex] and [tex]z_{2} = 0\,m[/tex], then the gravitational work done is:

[tex]\Delta W = (7\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (1.5\,m-0\,m)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta W = 102.974\,J[/tex]

The work done by the gravitational force of Earth on bowling ball during the first part of the fall is 102.974 joules.

(c) The work done by the gravitational force of Earth while the bowling when mattress is compressed is determined by Work-Energy Theorem and definition of gravitational potential energy:

[tex]\Delta W = U_{g,2}-U_{g,3}[/tex]

Where [tex]U_{g,3}[/tex] is the gravitational potential energy of the bowling ball when mattress in compressed, measured in joules.

[tex]\Delta W = m\cdot g \cdot (z_{2}-z_{3})[/tex]

Where [tex]z_{3}[/tex] is the height of the ball when mattress is compressed, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]m = 7\,kg[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]z_{2}= 0\,m[/tex] and [tex]z_{3} = -0.15\,m[/tex], the work done is:

[tex]\Delta W = (7\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot [0\,m-(-0.15\,m)][/tex]

[tex]\Delta W = 10.298\,J[/tex]

Work done by gravitational force on bowling ball when mattress is compressed is 10.298 joules.

(d) The work done by the mattress on the ball equals the sum of kinetic energy just before mattress compression and the work done by the gravitational force when mattress is compressed:

[tex]\Delta W' = K_{2}+\Delta W[/tex]

([tex]K_{2} = 102.974\,J[/tex], [tex]\Delta W = 10.298\,W[/tex])

[tex]\Delta W' = 113.272\,J[/tex]

The work done by the mattress on the bowling ball is 113.272 joules.

What is the magnitude of the net force acting on this object?

Answers

Answer:

The net force on an object is the total force applied on the object after adding  up all the forces

In the given diagram,

we can see that the 2 forces of 4N and 4N will cancel each other out since they are equal and in the opposite direction

Now, we are left with a force of 2N and 10N,

the net force will be the difference of these forces:

Net force = 10N - 2N

Net force = 8N downwards

Another way to do it:

The two 4N forces will be cancelled out,

and we are left with a 2N and a 10N force

(notice how we cancelled equal and opposite forces for the 4N)

We can divide the 10N force into (2N + 8N)

Since the 2N forces are equal and opposite, they will be cancelled out

and we will be left with a net force of 8N downwards

A) 100 J B) 200 J C) 300 J D) 400 J

Answers

Answer:

B) 200 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work which tells us that it is equal to the product of force by a distance, in this case, the force is the weight of the ball. The distance traveled is 4 [m] since 6-2 = 4[m]

F = m*g

where:

m = mass = 5 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s^2]

F = 5*10 = 50 [N]

w = F*d

where:

F = force = 50 [N]

d = 4 [m]

w = 50*4 = 200 [J]

Answers

Answer:speeding up constantly

Explanation:

The graph between the time and the speed of the car shows that the speed is increasing constantly, so, option C is correct.

What is speed?

A moving object's rate of change in distance traveled is measured as speed. Speed is a scalar, which implies it is a measurement with a magnitude but no direction.

A thing that moves quickly and with high speed, covering a lot of ground in a short time. On the other hand, a slow-moving object traveling at a low speed covers a comparatively small distance in the same amount of time. An object with zero speed does not move at all.

Given:

The graph shows the speed of a car traveling east over a 12-second period,

As you can see from the graph, at time t = 0 sec the speed is 10 m/s,

At t = 3 sec, the speed = 15.3 m/s

At t = 6 sec, the speed = 20.3 m/s

Thus, speed is increasing constantly.

#SPJ2

A designer is creating an obstacle for an obstacle course where a person starts on a moveable platform of height H from the ground. The person grabs a rope of length L and swings downward. At the instant the rope is vertical, the person lets go of the rope and attempts to reach the far side of a water-filled moat. The left side of the moat is directly below the position where the person will let go of the rope. The designer runs several tests in which the rope has different lengths and moves the platform such that the rope is always initially horizontal. The designer notices that the person cannot land on the other side if the length L is very short. The designer also notices that the person also cannot land on the other side if the length L is very close to the height H.

Assume the size of the person is much smaller than the lengths L and H. Let D represent the horizontal distance from below the release point to where the person lands.

Required:
a. Why does the person land in the moat if the rope's length is very short?
b. Why does the person land in the moat if the length is nearly the same as the height of the platform?

Answers

Answer:

* when L → H    chord too long

in this case we see that the speed to cross the well grows a lot (it goes towards infinity) therefore we do not have enough speed in the movement to cross

* when L → 0 very short string

         the speed of the platform is very small, so we do not have the minimum required value

        vox = √ (g / (2 (H)) D

Explanation:

For this exercise we are going to solve it using conservation of energy to find the velocity of the body and the launch of projectiles to find the velocity to cross the well.

Let's start with the projectile launch

as the body leaves the vertical its velocity must be horizontal

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²

when reaching the ground its height of zero (y = 0) and the initial vertical velocity is zero

         t = √ 2 y₀ / g

we substitute

        x = vox √2y₀ / g

        v₀ₓ = √(g / 2y₀)     x

In the exercise, it tells us that the width of the well is D (x = D) and the initial height is the height of the platform minus the length of the rope (I = H - L)

       v₀ₓ = √(g /(2 (H -L))    D

this is the minimum speed to cross the well.

Now let's use conservation of energy

starting point. On the platform

      [tex]Em_{o}[/tex] = U = m g H

final point. At the bottom of the swing

      Em_{f} = K + U = 1 / 2m v² + m g (H -L)

as there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserved

        Em_{o} = Em_{f}

       m g H = 1 / 2m v² + m g (H -L)

        v = √ (2gL)

let's write our two equations

the minimum speed to cross the well

       v₀ₓ = √ (g /(2 (H -L))    D

the speed at the bottom of the oscillatory motion

       v = √ (2g L)

we analyze the extreme cases

* when L → H    chord too long

in this case we see that the speed to cross the well grows a lot (it goes towards infinity) therefore we do not have enough speed in the movement to cross

* when L → 0 very short string

         the speed of the platform is very small, so we do not have the minimum required value

        vox = √ (g / (2 (H)) D

From this analysis we see that there is a range of lengths that allows us to have the necessary speeds to cross the well

      V₀ₓ = v

      g / (2 (H -L) D² = 2g L

       4 L (H- L) = D²

        4 H L - 4 L2 - D² = 0

        L² - H L - D² / 4 = 0

let's solve the quadratic equation

      L = [H ± √ (H2-D2)] / 2

we assume that H> D

       L = ½ H [1 + - RA (1 - (D / H) 2)]

The two values ​​of La give the range of values ​​for which the two speeds are equal

A) The person lands in the moat if the rope's length is very short because :

The speed of the platform is less than the required minimum speed

B) The person lands in the moat if the rope length is similar to the height of the platform because :

The speed required to cross the moat approaches infinity

Following the assumptions;

size of the person is much smaller than L and H

D = horizontal distance

The conditions that will cause the person to land on the moatThe person will land in the moat when the rope's length is very short because as the rope reduces in length the speed reduces as well such that the speed of the platform goes below the required minimum speed which will enable the person cross over.  while As the magnitude of the length tends towards the same magnitude of the height the speed required to cross the moat increases towards infinity and this speed cannot be attained by the person hence he will land in the moat.

Hence we can conclude that The person lands in the moat if the rope's length is very short because The speed of the platform is less than the required minimum speed  and  The person lands in the moat if the rope length is similar to the height of the platform because,the speed required to cross the moat approaches infinity.

Two protons are a distance 3 10-9 m apart. What is the electric potential energy of the system consisting of the two protons

Answers

Answer:

The electric potential energy of the system is 7.87x10⁻²⁰ J.

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is given by:

[tex]E = \int{Fdr} = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r}[/tex]

Where:

q₁ = q₂ is the charge of the protons = 1.62x10⁻¹⁹ C

r is the distance = 3x10⁻⁹ m

K: is the electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹ Nm²/C²

[tex] E = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r} = \frac{9\cdot 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}*(1.62 \cdot 10^{-19} C)^{2}}{3\cdot 10^{-9} m} = 7.87 \cdot 10^{-20} J [/tex]

Therefore, the electric potential energy of the system is 7.87x10⁻²⁰ J.

I hope it helps you!

The electric potential energy of the system should be 7.87x10⁻²⁰ J.

Calculation of the electric potential energy:

SInce We know that

fdr = kq1q2/r

Here

q₁ = q₂ i.e. is the charge of the protons = 1.62x10⁻¹⁹ C

r should be the distance = 3x10⁻⁹ m

K should be the electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹ Nm²/C²

Now electric potential energy should be

= (9x10⁹ Nm²/C² * 1.62x10⁻¹⁹ C) /  3x10⁻⁹ m

=  7.87x10⁻²⁰ J.

hence, The electric potential energy of the system should be 7.87x10⁻²⁰ J.

The horizontal surface on which the block slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spring is 6.0 m/s. How fast is the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed 15 cm

Answers

Answer:

The final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is approximately 3.674 meters per second.

Explanation:

The spring constant is 2000 newtons per meter. Let consider the spring-block system, from Principle of Energy Conservation we can represent it by the following model:

[tex]U_{k,1}+K_{1} = U_{k,2}+K_{2}[/tex]

[tex]K_{2} = K_{1}+(U_{k,1}-U_{k,2})[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]K_{1}[/tex], [tex]K_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final kinetic energies of the block, measured in joules.

[tex]U_{k,1}[/tex], [tex]U_{k,2}[/tex] - Initial and final elastic potential energy, measured in joules.

And we expand the equation above by definitions of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2})[/tex]

[tex]v_{2} = \sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+\frac{k}{m}\cdot (x_{1}^{2}-x_{2}^{2}) }[/tex] (Eq. 1b)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the block, measured in kilograms.

[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

[tex]v_{1}[/tex], [tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final velocities of the block, measured in meters per second.

[tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]x_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final positions of spring, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]v_{1} = 6\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]k = 2000\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m = 2\,kg[/tex], [tex]x_{1} = 0\,m[/tex] and [tex]x_{2} = 0.15\,m[/tex], the final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is:

[tex]v_{2} = \sqrt{\left(6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{2000\,\frac{N}{m} }{2\,kg} \right)\cdot [(0\,m)^{2}-(0.15\,m)^{2}]}[/tex]

[tex]v_{2}\approx 3.674\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The final speed of the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed is approximately 3.674 meters per second.

Derivation 1.2 showed how to calculate the work of reversible, isothermal expansion of a perfect gas. Suppose that the expansion is reversible but not isothermal and that the temperature decreases as the expansion proceeds. (a) Find an expression

Answers

Answer:

(a) The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) The entropy change of the gas is equal to zero.

Explanation:

(a) The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 4 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 240 K

= initial volume of gas  =  

= final volume of gas  =  

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

where,

= internal energy

q = heat

w = work done

As we know that, the term internal energy is the depend on the temperature and the process is isothermal that means at constant temperature.

So, at constant temperature the internal energy is equal to zero.

Thus, w = q = 17537.016 J

Formula used for entropy change:

The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas when the expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal.

As we know that, in adiabatic process there is no heat exchange between the system and surroundings. That means, q = constant = 0

So, from this we conclude that the entropy change of the gas must also be equal to zero.

Amtrak's Acela Express (reaching 150 mph, 240 km/h), Silver Star, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service, Vermonter and certain MARC Penn Line express trains (all five reaching 125 mph, 201 km/h) are the only high-speed services in the country.

As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2031.[2]

Explanation:

block of mass m sits at rest on a rough inclined ramp that makes an angle with the horizontal. What must be true about normal force F on the block due to the ramp

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

For a body on a ramp with mass m, the forces acting on the body along the vertical component are the weight and the normal reaction.

The weight of the body acts in the negative y direction while the normal reaction acts in the positive y direction

Taking the sum of forces along the y component

Sum Fy = -W+R = ma

Since acceleration is zero

-W+R = m(0)

-W+R = 0

-W = -R

W = R

Hence the Normal reaction force acting on the on the body is equal to normal force

A chef places an open sack of flour on a kitchen scale. The scale reading of
40 N indicates that the scale is exerting an upward force of 40 N on the sack. The magnitude of this force equals the magnitude of the force of Earth’s gravitational attraction on the sack. The chef then exerts an upward force of
10 N on the bag and the scale reading falls to 30 N.Draw a free-body diagram of the latter situation.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

HELP PLS7. A steel ball is dropped from a height of 100 meters. Which velocity-time graph best describes the
motion of the ball?

Answers

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

To know which velocity-time graph best describes the motion of the ball, let us calculate the velocity of the ball and the time taken for the ball to get the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

1. Determination of the velocity.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 100 m

Final velocity (v) =.?

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 100)

v² = 0 + 1960

v² = 1960

Take the square root of both side.

v = √(1960)

v = 44.27 m/s

2. Determination of the time taken.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) = 100 m

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

100 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

100 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 100 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(100 / 4.9)

t = 4.52 s

From the above illustration,

Initial time (t1) = 0 s

Final time (t2) = 4.52 s

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 44.27 m/s

Thus, we can see that as the time increase, the velocity also increase. Therefore, option C gives the correct answer to the question.

a box with a Constance velocity has a 5 N of force applied to it from all sides and direction. what will happen to the motion of the box as result?
A-the object will come to rest
b-the velocity of the object will remain the same
c- the velocity of the object will decrease
d- the velocity of the object will increase

Answers

Answer:

  b-the velocity of the object will remain the same

Explanation:

Forces from opposite sides cancel each other, so there is no net force on the box that would affect its motion. The velocity of the box will remain unchanged.

__

Find the linear velocity of a point moving with uniform circular motion, if the point covers a distance s in the given amount of time t. s

Answers

Answer:

The linear velocity is represented by the following expression: [tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]

Explanation:

From Rotation Physics we know that linear velocity of a point moving with uniform circular motion is:

[tex]v = r\cdot \omega[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of rotation of the particle, measured in meters.

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular velocity, measured in radians per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Linear velocity of the point, measured in meters per second.

But we know that angular velocity is also equal to:

[tex]\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Angular displacement, measured in radians.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.

By applying (Eq. 2) in (Eq. 1) we get that:

[tex]v = \frac{r\cdot \theta}{t}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

From Geometry we must remember that circular arc ([tex]s[/tex]), measured in meters, is represented by:

[tex]s = r\cdot \theta[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]

The linear velocity is represented by the following expression: [tex]v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]

One airplane is approaching an airport from the north at 181 kn/hr. A second airplane approaches from the east at 278 km/hr. Find the rate at which the distance between the planes changes when the southbound plane is 30 km away from the airport and the westbound plane is 15 km from airport.

Answers

Answer:

The value  is  [tex]  \frac{dR}{dt} =  -286.2 \  km/hr [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The speed of the airplane from the north is [tex]\frac{dN}{dt}  =  -181 \  km /hr[/tex]

The negative sign is because the direction is towards the south

  The speed of the airplane from the east is  [tex]\frac{dE}{dt}  =  -278 \  km/hr[/tex]

The negative sign is because the direction is towards the west

   The distance of the southbound plane from the airport is  [tex]N  =  30 \  km[/tex]

   The distance of the westbound plane is  [tex]E =  15 \  km[/tex]

Generally the distance between the plane is mathematically represented using Pythagoras theorem  as

    [tex]R^2  = N^2 + E^2[/tex]

Next differentiate implicitly this equation to obtain the rate at which the distance between the planes changes

So

     [tex]2R\frac{dR}{dt} =  2N \frac{dN}{dt} +   2E\frac{dE}{dt}[/tex]

Here

     [tex]R = \sqrt{N^2 + E^2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]R = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]R =33.54 \ m [/tex]

    [tex]2(33.54) * \frac{dR}{dt} =  2( 30)*(-181)  +   2*15*(-278)[/tex]

=>   [tex] 67.08 * \frac{dR}{dt} =  -19200[/tex]

=>   [tex]  \frac{dR}{dt} =  -286.2 \  km/hr [/tex]

The rate of change of the distance between the planes is 286.23 km/hr.

The given parameters;

speed of the airplane from North, dn/dt = 181 Km/hspeed of the airplane from the East, de/dt = 278 km/hnorth distance, n = 30 kmeast distance, e= 15 km

The distance between the two planes is calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem as shown below;

[tex]d^2 = n^2 + e^2\\\\d = \sqrt{n^2 + e^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{30^2 + 15^2} \\\\d = 33.54 \ km[/tex]

The rate of change of the distance between the planes is calculated as follows;

[tex]d^2 = e^2 + n^2\\\\2\frac{dd}{dt} = 2e\frac{de}{dt} + 2n\frac{dn}{dt} \\\\d\frac{dd}{dt} = e\frac{de}{dt} + n\frac{dn}{dt}\\\\(33.54) \frac{dd}{dt} = (15)(278) \ + (30)(181)\\\\(33.54) \frac{dd}{dt} = 9600\\\\\frac{dd}{dt} = \frac{9600}{33.54} \\\\\frac{dd}{dt} = 286.23 \ km/hr[/tex]

Thus, the rate of change of the distance between the planes is 286.23 km/hr.

Peter is running laps around a circular track with a diameter of 100 meters. If it takes Peter 12 minutes to run 4 laps, how quickly is he running (in meters per second)?

Answers

Answer:

v = 1.74 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of a circular track, d = 100 m

Distance covered for the 4 laps,

[tex]D=4\pi d\\\\D=4\pi \times 100\\\\D=1256.63\ m[/tex]

Time, t = 12 minutes = 720 s

We need to find the velocity of the peter. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]v=\dfrac{D}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{1256.63\ m}{720\ s}\\\\v=1.74\ m/s[/tex]

So, the speed is running with a velocity of 1.74 m/s.

Peter is running at 1.7453 m/sec.

Given to us,

Diameter of the circular track, D = 100 meters,

Number of laps Peter run, L = 4 laps,

Time taken by Peter, t = 12 minutes,

1 lap = circumference of the circle,

4 laps = 4 x circumference of the circle,

As we know, the circumference of a circle is given by πD.

So, 4 laps = 4 x circumference of the circle,

[tex]\begin{aligned}4 laps &= 4\times \pi \times D\\&= 4 \times \pi \times 100\\& = 1,256.6370\ meters\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Also, we know that 1 minute has 60 sec.

so, 4 minutes = (4 x 60) seconds

Further, speed is given [tex]\bold{(\dfrac{Distance}{Time} )}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\begin{aligned}speed &= \dfrac{Distance\ coverd\ by\ Peter}{Time\ taken\ by\ Peter}\\&=\dfrac{1,256.6370}{12\times 60}\\&=1.7453\ m/sec \end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, Peter is running at 1.7453 m/sec.
