You run due east at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s for a distance of 120.0 m and then continue running east at a constant speed of

5.00 m/s for another 120.0 m. For the total 240.0-m run, is your average velocity 4.00 m/s, greater than 4.00 m/s, or less than 4.00 m/s? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Speed while running towards east is v_1=3\ m/s

Distance traveled in east direction x_1=120\ m

For Another interval you  run with velocity

v_2=5\ m/s

x_2=240\ m

Total displacement=x_1+x_2

=120+120=240\ m

Time for first interval

t_1=\frac{x_1}{v_1}=\frac{120}{3}

t_1=\frac{120}{3}=40\ s

Time for second interval

t_2=\frac{x_2}{v_2}=\frac{120}{5}=24\ s

total time t=t_1+t_2

t=40+24=64\ s

average velocity v_{avg}=\frac{x_1+x_2}{t}

v_{avg}=\frac{240}{64}=3.75\ m/s

Therefore average velocity is less than 4 m/s

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A. False

B. False

C. True

D. True

E. True

F. True

Explanation:

A. The equation Ax=b is referred to as a matrix equation and not vector equation.

B. If the augmented matrix [ A b ] has a pivot position in every​ row then equation Ax=b may or may not be consistent. It is inconsistent if [A b] has a pivot in the last column b and it is consistent if the matrix A has a pivot in every row.

C. In the product of Ax also called the dot product the first entry is a sum of products. For example the the product of Ax where A has [a11 a12 a13] in the first entry of each column and the corresponding entries in x are [x1 x2 x3] then the first entry in the product is the sum of products i.e.  a11x1 + a12x2 +a13x3

D. If the columns of mxn matrix A span R^m, this states that every possible vector b in R^m is a linear combination of the columns which makes the equation consistent. So the equation Ax=b has at least one solution for each b in R^m.

E. It is stated that a vector equation x1a1 + x2a2 + x3a3 + ... + xnan = b has the same solution set as that of the linear system with augmented matrix [a1 a2 ... an b]. So the solution set of linear system whose augmented matrix is [a1 a2 a3 b] is the same as solution set of Ax=b if A=[a1 a2 a3]  and b can be produced by linear combination of a1 a2 a3 iff the solution of linear system corresponding to [a1 a2 a3 b] takes place.

F.  It is true because lets say b is a vector in R^m which is not in the span of  the columns. b cannot be obtained for some x which belongs to R^m as b = Ax. So Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in R^m and has no solution.

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.76 m and whose unstretched length is 0.41 m. Next the
Blizzard [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.256 m

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

We can start by finding the spring constant  

F = k*y  

Therefore;  k = F/y = m*g/y

                               = 0.40kg*9.8m/s^2/(0.76 - 0.41)

                               = 11.2 N/m  

Energy is conserved  

Let A be the maximum displacement  

Therefore;  1/2*k*A^2 = 1/2*k*(1.20 - 0.41)^2 + 1/2*m*v^2  

Thus;  A = sqrt((1.20 - 0.55)^2 + m/k*v^2)

               = sqrt((1.20 -0.55)^2 + 0.40/9.8*1.6^2)

                = 0.846 m  

Thus; the length will be 0.41 + 0.846  = 1.256 m

You want to examine the hairy details of your favorite pet caterpillar, using a lens of focal length 8.9 cm 8.9 cm that you just
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808
