Meter stick would not be as accurate,
Every time you placed it down and picked it back up you run the chance of losing 2-4 cm each time.

A body covers a semicircle of radius 7cm in 5s .find its linear speed
choli [55]

Ok so we are given the radius of 7cm and time of 5 seconds.

From the data we got we can calculate speed, frequency, perimeter and area of the semicircle.

Let's start with perimeter.

We know that perimeter of circle is 2\pi r so the perimeter of semicircle is \dfrac{2\pi r}{2} or simply \pi r

So the perimeter is equal to:

\pi r=\pi\cdot7\approx\boxed{22cm}

So this is the length of a curve or let's say the distance.

Now let's look at the linear speed s=\dfrac{d}{t} where d is distance and t time.

We know the distance and we know the time.

So let's calculate it.

s=\dfrac{d}{t}=\dfrac{22}{5}=\boxed{4.4\dfrac{cm}{s}}

Hope this helps.

Turner's treadmill runs with a velocity of -1.3 m/s and speeds up at regular intervals during a half-hour workout. after 25 min,
Travka [436]

Given : Initial velocity = -1.3 m/s

            Final Velocity = -6.5 m/s.

            Time = 25 minutes.

To find : Average acceleration.

Solution: We are given units in meter/second (m/s).

So, we need to convert time 25 minutes in seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

25 minutes = 60*25 = 1500 seconds.

Formula for average acceleration is given by,

\frac{Final \ velocity -Initial \ velocity}{Final \ time - Initial \ time }

We are not given intial time, so we can take initial time =0.

Plugging values in the above formula.

Average \ acceleration = \frac{-6.5 -(-1.3)}{1500-0}

= \frac{-5.2}{1500}

= -0.003467

or Average \ acceleration = -3.467 \times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2..

Two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. The graphs show the momentum of eac
madam [21]

Explanation :

The interaction between two objects is termed as the collision. The collision can be of two types i.e. elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In this case, two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. In an inelastic collision, the momentum before and after the collision remains the same but its kinetic energy gets lost.

After the collision, both the object sticks over each other and moves with one velocity.

Out of the given graph, the graph that shows a perfectly inelastic collision is attached. It shows that after the collision both the carts move with the same velocity.

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The
qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

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
