Speed is defined as distance over time. Hence, to determine the distance, we use d = V * t. Plugging in the values yields d = (72 Km / h) * (1h / 3600s) * (4.0 s) = 0.08Km. Thus, during this distracted period, a distance of 0.08Km was covered.

Calculate the minimum average power output necessary for a person to run up a 12.0 m long hillside, which is inclined at 25.0° a
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Power output, P = 924.15 watts

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Length of the ramp, l = 12 m

Weight of the individual, m = 55.8 kg

Incline angle with respect to the horizontal, \theta=25^{\circ}

Elapsed time, t = 3 s

Let h represent the vertical height of the hill:

h=l\ sin\theta

h=12\times \ sin(25)

h = 5.07 m

Power P required for a person to ascend the hill can be expressed as:

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}

P=\dfrac{55.8\times 9.8\times 5.07}{3}

P = 924.15 watts

This indicates that a minimum average power output of 924.15 watts is essential for an individual to ascend this elevation. Thus, this is the answer sought.

A person shooting at a target from a distance of 450 metres finds that the sound of the bullet hitting the target comes 1 / 2 se
Sav [3153]

Answer:

1350 m/s

Clarification:

Bullet speed

The bullet travels 450 m

Sound travels a distance of 450 m

Using the equation S= V × t

==> t= S/V

Thus, the time for the bullet t1=450/vb

and the sound's travel time t2=450/vs

Given that there's a 1/2 sec interval from when the shot is fired to the moment the shooter hears the sound

==>  t1+t2= 1/2 sec

==> 450/vb+450/vs=0.5sec  ---- (1)

At a distance 'x' from both the gun and target, it takes 3 seconds for a person to hear the bullet sound from firing to impact.

Firing sound duration

n

Distance =x m

Speed of sound = V

time =T1

==> T1 = x/vs

During this time period, the bullet covers 450 m and the sound of impact travels a distance 'x'

The time taken for sound = 450/vb

The time it takes sound to travel distance 'x'= x/vs

therefore let T2= 450/vb + x/vs

However, all this occurs within 3 seconds, i.e., T = 3 sec

because firing takes place before hitting the target, implying the strike sound is heard in time T = T2-T1= 450/vb + x/vs -x/vs

Making T= 3sec

==> 3= 450/vb

==> vb= 1350 m/s

From equations 1 and 2

applying the same principle, in 3 seconds the observer sees the bullet travel 450 m and perceives the sound

A ball with a mass of 0.5 kilograms is lifted to a height of 2.0 meters and dropped. It bounces back to a height of 1.8 meters.
kicyunya [3294]
Hello! Thanks for sharing your query here.

To determine the change in potential energy, you would utilize the formula:

delta PE = mg*delta h
delta PE = 0.5*9.81*(2-1.8)
delta PE = 0.98 J

The kinetic energy is derived from the potential energy.

A person on a diet loses 1.6 kg in a week. How many micrograms/second (µg/s) are lost?
Sav [3153]
To calculate the rate, first convert units properly. Since 1 kilogram equals 1,000,000 micrograms, 1.6 kilograms is 1,600,000 micrograms. One week has 604,800 seconds. Therefore, dividing 1,600,000 micrograms by 604,800 seconds gives the rate. Simplifying, this results in 2.65 µg/s. I hope this answers your question.

Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both d
Maru [3345]

Answer:

4.05 m/s

Explanation:

We will express the varying velocities as vectors.

Newton moves northward at 3.90 m/s from Daniel's stationary position.

V_n = 3.9 j

Assuming Pauli runs relative to Daniel at velocity X.

The relative velocity of Newton as seen by Pauli will be

3.9 j - X

Given that

the relative velocity of Newton with respect to moving Pauli = 1.1 i (1.1 towards the east).

Thus,

3.9 j - X = 1.1 i

X = -1.1 i + 3.9 j.

Magnitude of X

X² = 1.1² + 3.9²

X = 4.05 m/s

Therefore, Pauli runs relative to Daniel at 4.05 m/s.

The direction will be west of north at an angle θ,

Tan θ = 1.1 / 3.9
