A car drives around a racetrack for 30 seconds. what do you need to know to calculate the average velocity of the car?

2 answers:

The time is given, and you want to find the average velocity. To do this, you need to know the distance covered by the driver around the racetrack in that 30 seconds. You divide this by the time, then you will obtain the average velocity in units of, say meters per second.

Answer:

A driver.

Explanation:

Using a driver while at least 350 yds away is better than using a iron, because it will be a waste of the par 4 as it is not as powerful as the driver.

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is descending steadily at a speed v0. After t seconds have elapsed, consider the fol

qaws [65]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that speed of package is same as that of helicopter in horizontal direction

So after time "t" the velocity in x direction will remain constant while in Y direction it will go free fall

So we have

$v_y = -gt$

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

Distance from helicopter is same as the distance of free fall

so we will have

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

If helicopter is rising upwards with uniform speed

then final speed of the package after time t is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

distance from helicopter

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

A spring stretches 0.220 m when a 0.400 kg-mass is hung from it. What is its spring constant? (Mass is not a force )

Fantom [35]

We want to know the amount of force that stretches the spring 0.22 m.
That force is the WEIGHT of the mass hung from it.
The weight of the mass is (mass) times (gravity).
To do that calculation, we need to know the value of gravity, but
gravity has different values on every planet. I shall assume that
this whole springy question is taking place on Earth, so that the
value of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

The weight of the mass is (0.4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 3.92 Newtons.

The spring constant is

(force/length of the stretch)

= (3.92 Newtons) / (0.22 meters)

= (3.92 / 0.22) Newtons/meter

= 17.82 N/m .

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy $E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH$

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH
