During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acceleration? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: v o = 6 m/s,
t = 2 s
v = 10 m/s
v = v o + a t
a t = v - v o
a = ( v - v o ) / t 
a = ( 10 m/s - 6 m/s ) / 2 s = 4 m/s / 2 s = 2 m/s²
Answer:
The runner`s acceleration is 2 m/s².

An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to the earth observer, approaches at 0.82c. What is the velocity of the exploration vehicle relative to the spaceship? Give your answer as a decimal fraction of c, i.e. a β factor.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= (v_1+v_2)/(1+(v_1v_2)/(c^2) )

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ (.54 *.82)/(1)

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

A box is being pulled to the right on flat ground with a force of 112 N at an angle of 42° to the horizontal. What is the x-component of the force of tension?

Answers

The x-component is related with the Force through the trigonometric function cosine.

cos(42°) = x-component / F ⇒ x-component = Fcos(42°) = 112N*0.743 = 83.2 N

4. The density and strength of concrete are determined by the ratio of cement and aggregate. Suppose that a contractor has 480 cubic feet of a dry concrete mixture that is 70% sand by volume. How much pure sand must be added to form a new mixture that is 75% sand by volume?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 96ft^3

Explanation:

T=initial concrete mixture

S1=initial amount of sand

S2=final amount of sand

T2=final amount concrete mixture

C=amount of cement

Data:

T=480Ft^3

 the quantities of the initial mixture are

S=0.7*480=336Ft^3

C=0.3*480=144 Ft^3

 we pose the following equations

144+S2=T2

T2*0.75=S2  

if we solve

S2=144/(1/0.75-1)=432ft^3

to know how much we should add we subtract it from the initial amount of sand

Answer=432ft^3-336ft^3=96ft^3

What is the relationship between the direction of current and direction of electron flow in a current-carrying wire?

Answers

Explanation :

The direction of current flow is in opposite direction to that of the direction of electron flow.

Electric current is defined as the electric charge per unit time. Simply it is the flow of electrons in a circuit. When an electric potential is applied in a circuit, the current moves from the positive terminal of a battery to the negative terminal.

But the electrons travel from negative to the positive terminal i.e in the direction opposite to that of current flow.

Classical current flows in the opposite direction (positive to negative) to the electron flow (negative to positive).

A negative acceleration means that the speed of the object decreases. Explain why this statement can be incorrect?

Answers

This statement can be incorrect because speed isn't velocity. While the speed is constantly increases, velocity is decreasing. It doesn't depend on direction and this statement could be true only for a velocity. 

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles.a. How long does it take to complete one cycle?
b. What is its period?
c. What is its frequency?

Answers

Answer:

a. 5 seconds

b. 5 seconds

c. 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

a) For 2 complete cycles, time taken is 10 s.

Thus, for 1 complete cycle, the pendulum would take = 10 s÷ 2 = 5 s

b) The time period of a pendulum can be defined as time to complete 1 cycle/oscillation. This is calculated in part a. Thus, time period of the pendulum is 5 s.

c) The frequency of a pendulum can be define number of cycles/oscillations in 1 s. It takes 5 s to complete 1 cycle.

In 1 s, number of cycles = (1 ÷ 5) s⁻¹ = 0.2 Hz.
