If you have swam one lap in a swimming pool, that means you have swam from one end to the other and back. In 4 h, a swimmer makes exactly 55 laps in a swimming pool that is 41 m long. Determine the distance the swimmer traveled, the total displacement of the swimmer, the swimmer's average velocity, and the swimmer's average speed.

Question: Jack swims in a 90 m long pool. He covers 180 m in 1 minute in swimming from one end to the other and back along the same straight path.  What is the average velocity of jack:

5) [10 pts) At the Vancouver Olympics in February, one of the most exciting events will be the skeleton bob, in which a half-crazed athlete lies - face down and head-first with their nose a few centimeters from the ice - on a sled and hurtles down an icy course. The course has a vertical drop of 152 m, and a length along the course of 1450 m. Ignore the (minimal) speed that the sled & rider have at the beginning of the run. For part a), ignore friction. a. Calculate the speed the sled & rider would have at the end of the run. For parts b) through e), do not ignore friction. b. You're now told that a typical final speed is 120 km/h. What is the average frictional force (assumed constant, and parallel to the track) during the run? c. What is the average acceleration during the run? d. What is the run-out distance - that is, the distance the sled & rider will go over flat, level ground at the end of the run, assuming that the frictional forces are the same as during the run? e. How long will the run take to the finish line (ignore the run-out)?

A string of mass .03 kg and length 2 m is fixed at one end, anddriven with an oscillator at the other end. The oscillator inducestraveling waves on the string of the form
y=A sin (kx-(omega)t) which traveled down the string, hit the fixedend, and get reflected back as a wave with the form y=Asin(kx+(omega)t).
I'm asked to find the a.) velocity of the waves, b.)frequencyrequired to generate a wave with 4 nodes, and c.) derive a generalequation for standing waves on a string using the two aboveequations.

So I have: m = 0.03 kg and L = 2 m
a.) I have a lot of equations, such as
(lambda) = 2L = 4 m
k = 2(pi)/(lambda) = (pi)/2
µ = m/L = 0.015 kg/m
,but all the equations I know to find velocity involve eithertension or frequency or another variable that I don't have. How doI find the velocity with what I'm given?

b.) I think that 4 nodes is the 2nd harmonic frequency (?) wheren=2 in the equation
f = n * (v/2L). Is this right? If so, I can easily find it when Ihave the answer for velocity.

c.) I think that for this part, I just add the two equationstogether. I'd call one y1 and the other y2. y1 + y2 = generalequation?
[sin a + sin ß = 2 sin ((a+ß)/2) cos ((a-ß)/2)]
