    dimensions of B = dimension of x/(dimension of t)2 = L/T2 or LT-2
    (a) Suppose that the displacement of an object is related to time according to the expression x = Bt2. What are the dimensions of B?
    “x” is again “displacement”, so replace it with “L”:
    L = A sin(2?ft).

    They tell you that “sin(2?ft)” is dimensionless. You can throw out any dimensionless number that multiples another number. So throw it out:
    L = A

    Now it’s simple: With what should you replace “A” in order to make the left side equal the right side? (Hint: “L”)

    b) A displacement is related to time as x = A sin(2?ft), where A and f are constants. Find the dimensions of A. [Hint: A trigonometric function appearing in an equation must be dimensionless.]
    The smaller one of the two striped bass measurer A length of 95.42cm
    The larger fish measures 120.6 cm
    Hence the total length of fish caught for the day will be = 95.42 + 120.6 cm

    We know the conversion between mile and feet is
    1 mile = 5280 ft
    And it is given that 1 fathom = 6ft
    1 ft = (1/6)fathom
    Then the distance between Earth to Moon = 240,000 miles
    = (240,000 miles)(5280ft/mile)
    = 1267200000 ft
    = (1267200000)(1/6)fathom
    = 211200000fathom
    A fathom is a unit of length, usually reserved for measuring the depth of water. A fathom is approximately 6ft in length. Take the distance from Earth to the Moon to be 240,000 miles, and use the given approximation to find the distance in fathoms.
    time= distance/speed= 2/100 =0.02 seconds
    The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 2.0 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)
    Average speed = total distance / total time.

    distance = speed* time

    d1 = 80km /h * 30 min. = 80 * 30 /60 = 40 km

    d2 = 100 *12 / 60 = 20 km

    d3 = 40 *45 /60 = 30 km

    ( time is divided by 60 to convert into hour)

    total distance d = 40+ 20 +30 = 90 km

    total time = time of traveling + time at rest = (30 + 12 + 45) +15

    t = 102min. = 102 /60 = 1.70 hr.

    s = d /t = 90 /1.70 = 52.94 km/h

    a)
    Average speed = 52.94 km /h

    b)
    total distance = 90 km

    A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min at 80.0 km/h, 12.0 min at 100 km/h, and 45.0 min at 40.0 km/h and spends 15.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) Determine the average speed for the trip. (b) Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route.
    Boat A, 52, 0
    Two boats start together and race across a 52 km wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 52 km/h and returns at 52 km/h. Boat B goes across at 26 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 78 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round-trip first wins.
    (a) Which boat wins? (Or is it a tie?)
    Average velocity = displacement/time
    Velocity is vector and speed is scalar
    Taking +x axis as +ve direction, while -xe axis as -ve direction

    a) In ther first half , average velocity= L/t1 m/s

    b)In the second half, average velocity = -L/t2 m/s

    c) In the round trip, average velocity = 0/(t1+t2)=0m/s ( as the displacement is 0)

    d) Average speed = total distance/total time= ( L+L)/(t1 +t2)= 2L/(t1 +t2) m/s

    An athlete swims a length L of a pool in a time t1 and makes the return trip to the starting position in a time t2. If she is swimming initially in the positive x-direction, determine the average velocity symbolically in the first half of the swim.
    Speed of Tortoise = 0.13m/s = S

    Speed of Hare = 20x.13 = 2.6m/s = S’

    let time taken by tortoise to reach final line = t sec

    time taken by hare till tortoise wins = t+(5×60) = t-300 [it takes rest for 300 s where distance travelled is 0]

    Distance travelled by tortoise = 0.13t

    Distance travelled by hare = 2.6(t-300)

    Difference between the distances of tortoise and hare is 0.35 m.

    0.13t – 2.6(t-300) = 0.35

    => t = 315.65 s

    Distance of the race = Time taken by tortoise x Speed of tortoise = 315.65 x 0.13 = 41.0342 m

    The race is 41.0342 m long.

    A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.13 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 5.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (35 cm).

    Thanks for the help

    since the brakes were applied, it would be a uniform accelerationof -1 m/s2, right?

    so the first thing is that the train won’t be moving for the full40 seconds. the brakes will stop the train after only 20seconds
    v=v0+at
    0=20-1.t
    t=20s

    x=1/2 at^2+v0t

    x=200m

    Anonymous asked A train is traveling down a straight track at 20 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in a uniform acceleration of 1 m/s2. how far will the train move in a 40s time interval, starting at the instant the brakes are applied? I need the steps broken down if that is at all possible
    a) velocity is given by v(t)=v0+at, here v0=0, a=a1 and t=t1, so we have that

    v(t)=a1 t1

    b) distance traveled = v0t + 1/2 at^2 so here, that means

    dist = 1/2 a1 t1^2

    c) the distance the car travels once the brakes are applied is

    dist = v0 t + 1/2 at^2

    now, v0=a1 t1 and a=-a2

    t=t2 so you can write

    dist in the braking phase = v0 t1 t2 -1/2 a2 t2 ^2

    now, the problem does not state whether the car brakes to rest, if it does we can write t2 in terms of t1

    v(t)=v0 + at

    in this phase, if the final velocity at t=t2 is zero, and v0=a1 t1, we have that:

    0=a1 t1 – a2 t2 or t2= a1 t1/a2

    and you can use this expression in your final answer for part c

    A car starts from rest and travels for t1 seconds with a uniform acceleration a1.?
    The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration a2. If the brakes are applied for t2 seconds, determine the following. Answers are in terms of the variables a1, a2, t1, and t2.

    (a) How fast is the car going just before the beginning of the braking period?

    (b) How far does the car go before the driver begins to brake?

    (c) Using the answers to parts (a) and (b) as the initial velocity and position for the motion of the car during braking, what total distance does the car travel?

    Thank you!

    Anonymous asked A brick is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 25° to the horizontal and with an initial speed of 10 m/s. If the brick is in flight for 2.9 s, how tall is the building?
    Here is how you shoul approach this problem.

    Normally you are supposed to find accleration of the car as
    a = g sin(?),
    but they already gave you the value of a:
    a = 2.43 m/s²

    Use fomula for speed of accelerated motion
    speed = ?(2ad),
    where d is distance travelled by the car down the slope:
    d = 45m.

    Now you need horizontal and vertical components of velocity:
    Vx = speed * cos(?)
    Vy = speed * sin(?)

    Write equation of motion of car in free fall:
    y = 40m – Vy t – gt²/2

    Equate y to zero, find t. Now you can find the distance from the cliff x:
    x = Vx t

    car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean ……..?
    A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 2.43 m/s2 for a distance of 45.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 40.0 m above the ocean.

    Find the car’s position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean.

    Find the length of time the car is in the air.

    I got the answer is 3.39 m/s

    Yf = Yi + Vit + .5at^2
    0 = 40 + (0)t + .5(-9.8)t^2
    t = 2.857

    2.98 – 2.86 = .12

    .12 * 343 = 41.16

    41.16 = ?(x^2 + 40^2)

    x = 9.70

    Vxi = (9.70)/(2.86)

    Vxi = 3.39

    The velocity of the boat with respect to the ground is

    football punter accelerates a football from rest to a speed of10 m/s during the time in which histoe is in contact with the ball (about 0.16 s). If the football has a mass of 0.50 kg,what average force does the punter exert on the ball?
    1
    Weight = mass x acceleration
    Earths acceleration is 9.8 m/s*2
    1 kg = 2.2 lbs, so 2.0 lbs x 1 kg/2.2 lbs = 0.91 kg
    The bag would have a weight of 9.8 x 0.91 = 8.9 N

    1. 8.9 x 1/6 = 1.5 N

    2. 8.9 x 2.64 = 23.5 N

    The mass of the bag at all three locations is 0.91 kg. Mass does not change, the different locations only change its weight.

    U need to find acceleration:

    use:

    delta x = 1/2 (v initial + v final)t
    .85 m = 1/2 (340) t
    .85 m = 170 t
    0.005sec = t

    Then to find the acceleration

    v=v initial + at
    340 = a(.005)
    68000m/s^2 = a

    Fnet = ma = (.0059kg)(68000m/s^2) = 401.2N

    E = 1/2 * m * v^2

    So the work W necessary to make the difference in kinetic energy ofa salmon at 3 m/s and 6.9 m/s is
    W = 1/2 * 64 kg * (6.9 m/s)^2 – 1/2 * 69 kg * (3 m/s)^2= 1235.52 J

    Now work is force times distance
    W = F * d

    which you can solve for F
    F = W / d

    and inserting the distance (2/3 of the salmons length, seeabove):
    F = 1235.52 J / 1 m = 1235.52 N

    Nowthis is the net force necessary for the acceleration. This netforce is the sum of the tail fin force Ff and gravity Fg.
    F = Ff + Fg
    (the force of gravity acts downwards, so it will assume a negativevalue)

    Solving this for the tail fin force gives
    Ff = F – Fg

    Now gravity on a salmon of mass m = 61 kg is
    Fg = – g * m = – 9.81 m/s^2 * 64 kg = – 627.2 N

    So the tail fin force is
    Ff = 1235.52 N – (- 627.2 N) = 1862.72N

    A Chinook salmon has a maximum underwater speed of 3.0 m/s,and can jump out of the water vertically with a speed of6.9 m/s. A record salmon has a lengthof 1.5 m and a mass of 63 kg. Whenswimming upward at constant speed, and neglecting buoyancy, thefish experiences three forces: an upward force F exertedby the tail fin, the downward drag force of the water, and thedownward force of gravity. As the fish leaves the surface of thewater, however, it experiences a net upward force causing it toaccelerate from 3.0 m/s to 6.9 m/s.Assuming the drag force disappears as soon as the head of the fishbreaks the surface and that F is exerted until two-thirdsof the fish’s length has left the water, determine the magnitude ofF.

    answer in N

    a)

    define positive as downward, we have
    W – Fdrag = ma
    mg – kv2 = ma

    at terminal speed, a = 0

    so

    mg = kv2

    k = mg/v2

    k = (76.5kg)(9.8m/s2)/(58.7m/s)2

    k = 0.218 kg/m

    b)

    use

    mg – kv2 = ma

    a = g – kv2/m

    a = 9.8m/s2 – (0.218kg/m)(0.5(58.7m/s))2/76.5kg

    a = 2.45 m/s2

    A 76.5-kg skydiver reaches a terminal speed of 58.7 m/s with her parachute undeployed. Suppose the drag force acting on her is proportional to the speed squared, or Fdrag = kv^2.

    (a) What is the constant of proportionality k? (Assume the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.)

    (b) What was the magnitude of the acceleration when she was falling at half terminal speed?

    Please help!! Thank You

    a) t = ?[2h/g]

    b) a(x) = F/m

    c) Xh = ½*a(x)*t² = ½*(F/m)*2gh = Fgh/m

    d) a(x) = F/m; a(y) = g;
    ….a = ?(a(x)²+a(y)²)

    a = ?[(F/m)² + g²]

    An object of mass m is dropped from the roof of a building of height h. While the object is falling, a wind blowing parallel to the face of the building exerts a constant force F on the object.
    (a) How long does it take the object to strike the ground? Express the time t in terms of g and h.

    (b) Find an expression in terms of m and F for the acceleration ax of the object in the horizontal direction (taken as the positive x-direction).

    (c) How far is the object displaced horizontally before hitting the ground? Answer in terms of m, F, g, and h.

    (c) Find the magnitude of the object’s acceleration while it is falling, using the variables F, m, and g.

    V1 = ?(2gy1) = -23.84 m/s
    V2 = ?(2gy2) = 19.30 m/s

    dP = m*dV = m*(V2 – V1) = 23.30 kg?m/s

    Fav = dP/t = 23.30/.0024 = 9708 N up

    After falling from rest from a height of 29 m, a 0.54 kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 19 m.?
    If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.4 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball?
    magnitude:

    The two forces are at right angles so Pythagorean theorem can be applied.
    F^2 = 500^2 + 240^2
    F = 554N

    F = ma
    554 = 270a
    a = 2.05 m/s^2

    Direction:

    It goes north east a bit.

    tan alpha = 500/270
    alpha = 61 degrees
