Answer:

(A) Total Displacement = 12 km

(B) t = 38.33 min

(C) Average Velocity = 18.8 km/h

Explanation:

(A)

The displacement of the trip is the sum of both distances:

Total Displacement = 10 km + 2 km

<u>Total Displacement  = 12 km</u>

<u></u>

(B)

First we calculate the time taken by the car:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by car = 10 km

v = speed of car = 72 km/h

t = time taken = ?

Therefore,

t = (10 km)/(72 km/h)

t = (0.139 h)(60 min/1 h)

t = 8.33 min

now, we add the 40 min of walking in this:

t = 8.33 min + 30 min

<u>t = 38.33 min</u>

(C)

The average velocity is given as:

Average Velocity = Total Displacement/t = (12 km/38.33 min)(60 min/1 h)

<u>Average Velocity = 18.8 km/h</u>

A circular saw blade with radius 0.175 m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The distance the piece travel in horizontally axis is

L=3.55m

Explanation:

a=2 \frac{rev}{s^{2}} \\h=0.820m\\r = 0.125 m&#10;\\d=150rev

d= 155 rev = 155(2\pi ) = 310\pi rad

a= 2.0 \frac{rev}{s^{2} } = 2.0(2\pi )  = 4.0\pi \frac{rev}{s^{2} }

d=d_{i}+vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\ di=0\\vo=0\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*d}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*310 rad}{4\frac{rad}{s^{2}}}} \\t=12.449

w=a*t\\w=4\frac{rad}{s^{2}}*12.449s\\ w=49.79 \frac{rad}{s}

Now the angular velocity is the blade speed so:

V=w*r\\V=49.79 \frac{rad}{s}*0.175m\\V=8.7 \frac{m}{s}

assuming no air friction effects affect blade piece:

time for blade piece to fall to floor

t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.820m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } }}\\t=0.409s

Now is the same time the piece travel horizontally

L=t*V\\L=0.409s*8.7\frac{m}{s}\\L=3.55m

blade piece travels  HORIZONTALLY = (24.5)(0.397) = 9.73 m  ANS

Kay [80]
Donna's doctor must have diagnosed her with muscle cramps. With the given symptoms above, it is likely that she is experiencing muscle cramps. Muscle cramps most likely happen when the individual experiencing it is lack of fluid intake, causing the muscles to tighten causing pain and for the muscle to contract involuntarily.

Physics Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
djverab [1.8K]
Good work on solving part a).
b) may look complicated, but it's not too bad.

It says that the body is 25% efficient in converting fat to mechanical energy.
In other words, only 25% of the energy we get from our stored fat shows up
in the physical, mechanical moving around that we do.  (The rest becomes
heat, which dissipates into the environment as we keep our bodies warm,
breathe hot air out,and perspire.)

You already know how much mechanical energy the climber needed to lift
himself to the top of the mountain... 2.4x10⁶ joules.
That's 25% of what he needs to convert in order to accomplish the climb.
He needs to pull 4 times as much energy out of fat.

-- Fat energy required = 4 x (2.4 x 10⁶) = 9.6 x 10⁶ joules.

-- Amount stored in 1kg of fat = 3.8 x 10⁷ joules

-- Portion of a kilogram he needs to use =   (9.6 x 10⁶) / (3.8 x 10⁷)

Note:
That much of a kilogram weighs about 8.9 ounces ... which shows why it's so
hard to lose weight with physical exercise alone.  It also helps you appreciate
that fat is much more efficient at storing energy than batteries are ... that one
kilogram of fat stores the amount of energy used by a 100-watt light bulb, to
burn for 105 hours (more than 4-1/2 days ! ! !)
