In Michael Johnson's world-record 400 m sprint, he ran the first 100 m in 11.20 s; then he reached the 200 m mark after a total

time of 21.32 s had elapsed, reached the 300 m mark after 31.76 s,and finished in 43.18 s.
During what 100 m segment was his speed the highest?

a) Between the start and the 100 m mark.

b) Between the 100 m mark and the 200 m mark.

c) Between the 200 m mark and the 300 m mark.

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Assuming that we are talking about average speed during any segment, we can apply the definition of average speed, as follows:

v(avg) = Δx / Δt = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

Using this definition for the 4 segments, we have:

1) v(0-100m) = 100 m / 11.20 sec = 8.93 m/s

2) v(100m-200m) = 100 m / (21.32 s - 11.2 s) = 100 m / 10.12 s = 9.88 m/s

3) v(200m -300m) = 100 m / (31.76 s- 21.32s) = 100 m / 10.44 s = 9.58 m/s

4) v(300m-400m) = 100 m / (43.18 s - 31.76 s) = 100 m / 11.42 s = 8.76 m/s

As we can see, the highest speed was reached between the 100m mark and the 200m mark, so the statement b) is the one that results to be true.

To measure moderately low pressures, oil with a density of 9.0 x 102 kg/m3 is used in place of mercury in a barometer. A change
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Δ P =  13.24 Pa

Explanation:

Given that

Density of oil ,ρ₁ = 9 x 10² kg/m³

We know that density for mercury ,ρ₂  = 13.6 x 10³ kg/m³

The change in the height of column ,Δh = 1.5 mm

The pressure given as

P = ρ g h

Change in the pressure

Δ P =  ρ₁ g Δh

Now by putting the values

Δ P =  9 x 10² x 9.81 x 1.5 x 10⁻³    Pa

Δ P =  13.24 Pa

Therefor the change in the pressure will be 13.24 Pa.

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

m is the mass of object

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}

m = 0.25 kg

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}

k = 24.09 N/m

or

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.
