According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?
An ant travels 3.95 inches due east, then turns and travels an additional 3.35 inches south. The ant walked east for 2.25 minutes and south for 3.15 minutes. a) What is the ant's average speed over the entire trip in the given units? O 1.35 inches/minute O 1.76 inches/minute O1.06 inches/minute O 2.32 inches/minute O 3.24 inches/minute b) What is the ant's average speed over the entire trip in Sl units? 3,190 m/s 2.06 m/s O 0.000572 m/s
Suppose a machine is invented to measure the amount of knowledge in a student’s head in units called “factoids.” One student is measured at F(t) = t³ − 6t² + 9t factoids at time t, where t is measured in weeks. a. Find the rate at which the student is gaining (or losing) knowledge as a function of time (be sure to give the units). b. During what time between t = 0 and 11 is the student losing knowledge? c. Sketch a graph of the function F(t).
George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.
. A Tesla can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds, yielding an average acceleration of 21.4 MPH/s. c. Convert this acceleration into m/s (meters/sec3). d. If 1.0 furlong = 660 ft and 1.0 fortnight = 2 weeks, convert this acceleration into furlongs/fortnight squared. %3D
1. Kenny is climbing the stairs of his apartment building for exercise. Kenny weighs 83 kg. There are 8 steps in each flight and the height of a single step on the staircase is 11 inches. He climbs the flight of stairs in 3.4 seconds. a.) calculate the long-term rate at which stairs can be climbed considering the given information.(how long can be sustained in stair per second) b.) Why does Kenny descend stairs at a faster rate for a nearly unlimited time although very similar forces are exerted descending as they are ascending?(This points to a fundamentally different process for descending versus climbing stairs.)
A ball is thrown from the top of a building and falls to the ground below. Its path is determine by the equation h=-4t square + 36t + 40, where h is the height above the ground in meters and t is the elapsed time in seconds. Determine: a. The maximum height the ball reaches and the time it takes to reach maximum height by using the method of completing the square. Keep in fraction form. b. Determine when the ball hits the ground. c. What is the height of the building.
On a recent road trip, it took John 2.5 h to drive from a suburb of Phoenix to a small town outside of Yuma. According to his dashboard computer, he averaged 65 mph on the drive. John's friend in Yuma is European, and he asked for the distance that John drove in kilometers. How far did John drive in kilometers
A car travels with an average speed of 8.00 meter/second. A. What is the speed in km/s? B. What is the speed in mile/hour? Hint: 1km =1000.0 meters
You are driving 65.0 miles/hour and you see a police car, so you slow down to 42.5 miles/hour. It takes you 3 seconds to do this. What is your deceleration? (I asked this one before, but someone plugged in -22.5 miles/hr x 2.237 m/s / 1 mile an hour which I didn't understand)
Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 6 seconds, he is 2430 meters from her. Then at 9 seconds he is 2295 meters from her. What is Superman's average speed? meters per second m/s How far from Lois did Superman start? meters Write an equation to model this situation (use d for distance from Lois in meters and s for seconds).
