Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure attached). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. If the swimmer could cross a 13 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take? Express your answer in hours.
The other day, while riding my bike, I was forced to stop quickly to avoid a squirrel in the middle of the road 60 feet ahead. I decelerated at a constant rate of 15 ft/sec², skidding all the way. One second into the slide, my trip computer said I was going 27 ft/sec. How far did I skid before stopping? Did I avoid hitting the squirrel? Round to the nearest tenth
Hey guys, I came across this hard problems and I really need help in this part. I already solved the velocity for the 1.0,2.0, and 3.0 seconds. For 1.0, it'd be 2, for 2.0, it'd be 3, and for 3.0, it'd be 2. 1) NOW, what I am wondering is what is the ACCELERATION of the car at 1.0s, 2.0s, and 3.0s??? Also, please round to the nearest whole #, and don't use units.
A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.9 m/s directly upward. Choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. What is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches?How long does it take to reach the maximum height?How long does it take to reach the ground after it reaches its highest point? What is its velocity just before it hits the ground? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 96-foottall building with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. The height of the ball above ground, s(t), in feet, after t seconds is modeled by the position function s(t) = -16t2 + 80t + 96. Solve, a. After how many seconds will the ball strike the ground? b. When does the ball reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
Allan is explaining the wonders of nature to his son. He and his son went to a roof top of a 120m-high building, then he threw a stone from the rooftop. 1. Neglecting the air friction, what is the acceleration of the stone due to gravity? 2. At what time will the stone fall to the ground? 3. With what velocity will a stone strike the ground if dropped from the top of a building?
I don't understand your answer. so you started answer question b before question a ? also isn't the initial velocity should be V0 = 25 m/s ?
Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure 1). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. c) If the swimmer could cross a 15 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take?
