Michael Phelps needs to swim at an average speed of 2.00 m/s in order to set a new world record in the 200 m freestyle. If he sw

ims the first 100 meters at an average speed of 1.80 m/s how fast must he swim the second 100 meters in order to break the record?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of Phelps $v_{avg}=2\ m/s$

total distance $d=200\ m$

he swims first 100 m at an average speed if $1.8 m/s$

so time taken is $t_1=\frac{100}{1.8}=55.55\ s$

suppose $t_2$ is the time taken to swim remaining half

average velocity is $v_{avg}=\frac{displacement}{total\ time}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{100+100}{55.55+t_2}$

$t_2+55.55=\frac{200}{2}=100$

$t_2=44.45\ s$

so velocity in the second half is

$v_2=\frac{100}{45.45}$

$v_2=2.19\approx 2.2\ m/s$

Which of the following four circuit diagrams best represents the experiment described in this problem?

Valentin [98]

We don't see any circuit diagrams.

This worries us for a few seconds, until we realize that we don't know anything about the experiment described in the problem either, so we don't have to worry about it at all.

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this

noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

$W=Fdcos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while $\theta=180^{\circ}$ , because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

$W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J$

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

In very cold weather, a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into t

Pie

Answer:

A) $Q_a=74256\ J$

B) $Q=93562560\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature of air, $T_a=-19+273=254\ K$

temperature of lungs, $T_l=37+273=310\ K$

specific Heat exchanged from the lungs , $c_l=0.47\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

specific heat of air, $c_a=1020\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

mass of 1 L air, $m'=1.3\ kg$

breath rate, $b=21\ breath.min^{-1}$

A)

Now,

amount of heat needed to warm the air of lungs to the body temperature:

$Q_a=m'.c_a.\Delta T$

$Q_a=1.3\times1020\times (310-254)$

$Q_a=74256\ J$

B)

Amount of heat lost per hour:

<u>No. of breaths per hour:</u>

$B=b.60$

$B=21\times 60$

$B=1260$

<u>Now the total loss of energy in 1 hr.:</u>

$Q=Q_a.B$

$Q=74256\times 1260$

$Q=93562560\ J$

2 boxes connected by a plus sign hold Wave 1 on top and Wave 2 on bottom. The crests of Wave 1 line up with the troughs of Wave

loris [4]

Answer:

No, the resulting wave in the diagram does not demonstrate destructive interference. The resulting wave in the diagram shows a bigger wave than Wave 1 or Wave 2. If it demonstrated destructive interference, it would be a smaller wave or a horizontal line. With destructive interference, waves break down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.
