Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity of an object is given by the net displacement divided by time taken. Displacement is equal to the shortest path covered by the object.

In this problem, a player runs the length of the 30-meter court and back. The player does this three times in 60 seconds.

As the player runs the court and returns to the original point. It would mean that the shortest path covered is 0.

Average velocity = displacement/time

v=0/30

v = 0 m/s

Hence, the correct option is (1).

marta [7]

Answer:

\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}

(we need the mass of the astronaut A)

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the conservation law of the linear momentum P. First we need to represent every mass as a particle. Also we can simplify this system of particles by considering only the astronaut A with an initial speed v_{iA} of 0 m/s and a mass m_{A} and the IMAX camera with an initial speed v_{ic} of 7.5 m/s and a mass m_{c} of 15.0 kg.

The law of conservation says that the linear momentum P (the sum of the products between all masses and its speeds) is constant in time. The equation for this is:

P_{i}=p_{ic}+p_{iA}\\P_{i}=m_{c}v_{ic}+m_{A} v_{iA}\\P_{i}=15*7.5 + m_{A}*0\\P_{i}=112.5 \frac{kg.m}{s}

By the law of conservation we know that P_{i} =P_{f}

For P_{f} (final linear momentum) we need to treat the collision as a plastic one (the two particles stick together after the encounter).

So:

P_{i} =P_{f}=112.5\\

112.5=(m_{c}+m_{A})v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{m_{c}+m_{A}}=v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi
Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

The maximum tension that a 0.80 m string can tolerate is 15 N. A 0.35-kg ball attached to this string is being whirled in a vert
zimovet [89]

Answer:

v=5.86 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 0.8 m

Maximum tension tolerated by the string, F = 15 N

Mass of the ball, m = 0.35 kg

We need to find the maximum speed the ball can have at the top of the circle. The ball is moving under the action of the centripetal force. The length of the string will be the radius of the circular path. The centripetal force is given by the relation as follows :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is the maximum speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15\times 0.8}{0.35}} \\\\v=5.86\ m/s

Hence, the maximum speed of the ball is 5.86 m/s.
