Answer:

The average velocity of the object is 0.1cm/s

Explanation:

Given that the object travels from point 15cm to 165cm and back to 25cm within 100 seconds

The average velocity is calculated as thus.

Average Velocity = ∆D/t

Where ∆D represent the displacement.

The displacement is calculated as follows.

∆D = End point - Start Point.

From the question, the end and start point are 25cm and 15cm respectively.

Hence,

∆D = 25cm - 15cm

∆D = 10cm.

t = 100 seconds

So, Average Velocity = 10cm/100s

Average Velocity = 0.1cm/s

Hence, the average velocity of the object is 0.1cm/s

Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

$v_{avg}=\frac{x_{all}}{t}$

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

$v_{avg}=\frac{290cm}{100s}=2.9\frac{cm}{s}$

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s

<span>The answer is transformer. They utilize electromagnetic induction to generate current. This is only possible in alternating current due to the differential increase and decrease of electrical current that induces changes in magnetic flux in the coil. This varies the magnetic flux of the primary coil that generates current in the secondary coil.</span>

Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.

FrozenT [24]

The correct option is D.
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

A cliff diver running 3.60 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water below 2.00 s later

mart [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The horizontal speed of a cliff diver, $v_x=3.6\ m/s$

It reaches the water below 2.00 s later, t = 2 s

Let $d_x$ is the distance where the diver hit the water. It can be calculated as follows :

$d_x=v_x\times t\\\\=3.6\times 2\\\\=7.2\ m$

Let $d_y$ is the height of the cliff. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as follows :

$d_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\d_y=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 2^2\\\\=19.6\ m$

So, the cliff is 19.6 m high and it will hit the water at a distance of 19.6 m.

In an attempt to impress its friends, an acrobatic beetle runs and jumps off the bottom step of a flight of stairs. The step is

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

$u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s$

$u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s$

Acceleration components

$a_x=0$

$a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2$

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0$

$t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629$
