Answer:

false.

Explanation:

Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.

Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.

Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive

When she goes back, the velocity is negative

if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:

AV = (V + (-V))/2  = 0

While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.

So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.

The statement is false

Answer: The expected population that wants flexible working hours in ranging from 58% to 62 %.

Explanation:

Percentage of sample respondents agreed for flexible working hours = 60%

The margin of the error = ± 2%

The expected population that wants flexible working hours in ranging from:

\text{percentage of agreed}-2\% lower range

\text{percentage of agreed}+\2% upper range

60\%-2\% to 60\%+2\% that is 58% to 62 %.

The expected population that wants flexible working hours in ranging from 58% to 62 %.

quester [9]
Would presume the energy as kinetic energy.

E = (1/2)*mv²

But m = 0.05kg, velocity here = 0.70c, where c is the speed of light ≈ 3* 10⁸ m/s

Ke =  (1/2)*mv² = 0.5*0.05*(0.7*<span>3* 10⁸)</span>² = 1.1025 * 10¹⁵ Joules


There is no exact match from the options.

A gymnast practices two dismounts from the high bar on the uneven parallel bars. during one dismount, she swings up off the bar
Fiesta28 [93]
Note:
The height of a high bar from the floor is h = 2.8 m (or 9.1 ft).
It is not provided in the question, so the standard height is assumed.

g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.
Note that the velocity and distance are measured as positive upward.
Therefore the floor is at a height of h = -2.8 m.

First dismount:
u = 4.0 m/s, initial upward velocity.
Let v = the velocity when the gymnast hits the floor.
Then
v² = u² - 2gh
v² = 16 - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 70.88
v = 8.42 m/s

Second dismount:
u = -3.0 m/s
v² = (-3.0)² - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 63.88 m/s
v = 7.99 m/s

The difference in landing velocities is 8.42 - 7.99 = 0.43 m/s.

Answer:
First dismount:
  Acceleration  = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 8.42 m/s downward

Second dismount:
  Acceleration = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 7.99 m/s downward

The landing velocities differ by 0.43 m/s.

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}
