Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house, but continues 200 meters past his

house to talk to a neighbor. It takes Ben 17 minutes from the time he leaves his house until he stops to talk to his neighbor. What is Ben’s average velocity?

Answer:

0.196 m/s

Explanation:

Average displacement is defined as the total displacement covered to the total time taken.

Total displacement = 500 - 500 - 200 =  - 200 m

Total time taken = 17 minutes = 17 x 60 = 1020 second

So, Average velocity = 200 / 1020 = 0.196 m/s (magnitude only)

A vertical spring of constant k = 400 N/m hangs at rest. When a 2 kg mass is attached to it, and it is released, the spring exte
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm

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

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

If the rocket has an initial mass of 6300 kg and ejects gas at a relative velocity of magnitude 2000 m/s , how much gas must it
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The amount of gas that is to be released in the first second in other to attain an acceleration of  27.0 m/s2  is

      \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = 83.92 \ Kg/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the rocket is m = 6300 kg

   The velocity at gas is being ejected is  u =  2000 m/s

    The initial acceleration desired is a =  27.0 \  m/s

   The time taken for  the gas to be ejected is  t = 1 s

Generally this desired acceleration is mathematically represented as

        a = \frac{u *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{M -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* t}

Here \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta  t }  is the rate at which gas is being ejected with respect to time

Substituting values

      27 = \frac{2000 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{6300 -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* 1}

=>   170100 -27* \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 2000 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}

=>   170100  = 2027 *  \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}

=>   \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = \frac{170100}{2027}

=>   \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}   = 83.92 \ Kg/s
