In the lab, a student is investigating the effects of texting and driving on reaction time. A
student determines his/her reaction time by having a friend release a meter stick at
random intervals while the driver sends text messages. The student, on average,
catches the meter stick after it has traveled 0.64 m.
How far will the student
travel in a car moving at 25 m/s horizontally before reacting?

9.0 m
0.64 m
69 m

Answers

Answer 1

We know that we can write the speed of something as the quotient between the distance it moves and the time it takes to move that distance.

speed = distance/time

Using this, we will find that the correct option is the first one, 9.0 m

The information we know is:

The student, on average, catches the meter stick after it has traveled 0.64m

We need to transform this into time.

Assuming that the meter stick is just released, the only acceleration it will have is the gravitational one, so we have:

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

To get the velocity of the stick we need to integrate over time, as the it is just released, it will not have initial velocity, thus the constant of integration is zero:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t

To get the position equation we need to integrate again, and as the initial position is relative, we can define it as zero, so again the constant of integration is zero:

p(t) = (1/2)(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t

We know that the student catches the stick after it traveled (downwards) 0.64m

Then we need to solve:

-0.64m =  (-4.9 m/s^2)*t

√[(-0.64m)/(-4.9m/s^2)] = t = 0.36s

So the reaction time of the student is 0.36 seconds.

Now we can use the first equation:

speed = distance/time

And rewrite it as:

distance = speed*time

So if the car moves at 25m/s and the student needs 0.36 s to react, the distance that he/she will move in that time frame is:

d = (25m/s)*0.36s = 9.0m

So the correct option is the first one.

B.1m/s
C.2m/s
D.3m/s
E.9m​

Answers

Answer:  Choice A)  0.5 m/s

=====================================================

Explanation:

At 4 seconds, the distance is 8 meters. Note the point (4,8)

At 8 seconds, the distance is 10 meters. The point here is (8,10)

Find the slope of the line through (4,8) and (8,10)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-8)/(8-4)

m = 2/4

m = 1/2

m = 0.5

The average speed on this interval is 0.5 m/s

-----------------

Another way to look at it:

We've gone from 8 meters to 10 meters, so that's a change of y = 2 meters.

During this, the time has changed from 4 seconds to 8 seconds, which is a difference of x = 4 seconds.

The velocity is the rate of change of distance over time

velocity = (change in distance)/(change in time) = y/x = 2/4 = 0.5 m/s

Answers

Answer:

c. The magnitude of vertical velocity is at a maximum value.

Explanation:

I think this is correct I'm not entirely sure though

Answer:

Explanation: ns along perpendicular axes are independent and thus can be analyzed separately. This fact was discussed in Kinematics in Two Dimensions: An Introduction, where vertical and horizontal motions were seen to be independent. The key to analyzing two-dimensional projectile motion is to break it into two motions, one along the horizontal axis and the other along the vertical. (This choice of axes is the most sensible, because acceleration due to gravity is vertical—thus, there will be no acceleration along the horizontal axis when air resistance is negligible.) As is customary, we call the horizontal axis the x-axis and the vertical axis the y-axis. (Figure) illustrates the notation for displacement, where \mathbf{s} is defined to be the total displacement and \mathbf{x} and \mathbf{y} are its components along the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively. The magnitudes of these vectors are s, x, and y. (Note that in the last section we used the notation \mathbf{A} to represent a vector with components {\mathbf{A}}_{x} and {\mathbf{A}}_{y}. If we continued this format, we would call displacement \mathbf{s} with components {\mathbf{s}}_{x} and {\mathbf{s}}_{y}. However, to simplify the notation, we will simply represent the component vectors as \mathbf{x} and \mathbf{y}.)

Review of Kinematic Equations (constant a)

x={x}_{0}+\stackrel{-}{v}t

\stackrel{-}{v}=\frac{{v}_{0}+v}{2}

v={v}_{0}+\text{at}

x={x}_{0}+{v}_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}{\text{at}}^{2}

{v}^{2}={v}_{0}^{2}+2a\left(x-{x}_{0}\right)\text{.}

The total displacement \mathbf{s} of a soccer ball at a point along its path. The vector \mathbf{s} has components \mathbf{x} and \mathbf{y} along the horizontal and vertical axes. Its magnitude is s, and it makes an angle \theta with the horizontal.

A soccer player is kicking a soccer ball. The ball travels in a projectile motion and reaches a point whose vertical distance is y and horizontal distance is x. The displacement between the kicking point and the final point is s. The angle made by this displacement vector with x axis is theta.

Given these assumptions, the following steps are then used to analyze projectile motion:

Step 1.Resolve or break the motion into horizontal and vertical components along the x- and y-axes. These axes are perpendicular, so {A}_{x}=A\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{cos}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\theta and {A}_{y}=A\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{sin}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\theta are used. The magnitude of the components of displacement \mathbf{s} along these axes are x and \mathrm{y.} The magnitudes of the components of the velocity \mathbf{v} are {v}_{x}=v\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{cos}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\theta and {v}_{y}=v\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{sin}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\mathrm{\theta ,} where v is the magnitude of the velocity and \theta is its direction, as shown in (Figure). Initial values are denoted with a subscript 0, as usual.

Step 2.Treat the motion as two independent one-dimensional motions, one horizontal and the other vertical. The kinematic equations for horizontal and vertical motion take the following forms:

\text{Horizontal Motion}\left({a}_{x}=0\right)

x={x}_{0}+{v}_{x}t

{v}_{x}={v}_{0x}={v}_{x}=\text{velocity is a constant.}

\text{Vertical Motion}\left(\text{assuming positive is up}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}{a}_{y}=-g=-9.\text{80}{\text{m/s}}^{2}\right)

y={y}_{0}+\frac{1}{2}\left({v}_{0y}+{v}_{y}\right)t

{v}_{y}={v}_{0y}-\text{gt}

y={y}_{0}+{v}_{0y}t-\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{gt}}^{2}

{v}_{y}^{2}={v}_{0y}^{2}-2g\left(y-{y}_{0}\right)\text{.}

Step 3. Solve for the unknowns in the two separate motions—one horizontal and one vertical. Note that the only common variable between the motions is time t. The problem solving procedures here are the same as for one-dimensional kinematics and are illustrated in the solved examples below.

Step 4.Recombine the two motions to find the total displacement\mathbf{\text{s}} and velocity \mathbf{\text{v}}. Because the x – and y -motions are perpendicular, we determine these vectors by using the techniques outlined in the Vector Addition and Subtraction: Analytical Methods and employing A=\sqrt{{A}_{x}^{2}+{A}_{y}^{2}} and \theta ={\text{tan}}^{-1}\left({A}_{y}/{A}_{x}\right) in the following form, where \theta is the direction of the displacement \mathbf{s} and {\theta }_{v} is the direction of the velocity \mathbf{v}:

Total displacement and velocity

s=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}

\theta ={\text{tan}}^{-1}\left(y/x\right)

v=\sqrt{{v}_{x}^{2}+{v}_{y}^{2}}

{\theta }_{v}={\text{tan}}^{-1}\left({v}_{y}/{v}_{x}\right)\text{.}

What is the frequency of a wave that has a period of 5 seconds?
O A. 2 Hz
OB. 5 HZ
O C. 20 Hz
O D. 0.2 Hz

Answers

Answer: D

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave that has a period of 5 seconds is 0.2 Hz. Thus, the correct option is D.

What is Frequency?

Frequency of a wave is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of the time. Frequency is also occasionally referred to as the temporal frequency for clarity purpose, and it is distinct from that of angular frequency. Frequency is measured in SI units of hertz which is equal to one event per second of the time.

Frequency can be calculated as the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time period. The frequency of a wave that has a period of 5 seconds is:

f = 1/T

where, f = frequency,

T = Time taken

f = 1/ 5

f = 0.2 hertz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 0.2 hertz.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
