A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds $v_f_1$ , and the final velocity $v_f_2$ .

$v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s$

Hope this helps!

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.

Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

$L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }$

$\frac{1}{100,000} = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$v = 0.999999995$ $c$

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

Could I please get some help on this question I don’t understand .

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

A uniform beam with mass M and length L is attached to the wall by a hinge, and supported by a cable. A mass of value 3M is susp

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The tension is $T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg$

The horizontal force provided by hinge $Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the beam is $m_b =M$

The length of the beam is $l = L$

The hanging mass is $m_h = 3M$

The length of the hannging mass is $l_h = \frac{3}{4} l$

The angle the cable makes with the wall is $\theta = 60^o$

The free body diagram of this setup is shown on the first uploaded image

The force $F_x \ \ and \ \ F_y$ are the forces experienced by the beam due to the hinges

Looking at the diagram we ca see that the moment of the force about the fixed end of the beam along both the x-axis and the y- axis is zero

$\sum F =0$

Now about the x-axis the moment is

$F_x -T cos \theta = 0$

=> $F_x = Tcos \theta$

Substituting values

$F_x =T cos (60)$

$F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)$

Now about the y-axis the moment is

$F_y + Tsin \theta = M *g + 3M *g ----(2)$

Now the torque on the system is zero because their is no rotation

So the torque above point 0 is

$M* g * \frac{L}{2} + 3M * g \frac{3L}{2} - T sin(60) * L = 0$

$\frac{Mg}{2} + \frac{9 Mg}{4} - T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = 0$

$\frac{2Mg + 9Mg}{4} = T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

$T = \frac{11Mg}{4} * \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }$

$T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg$

The horizontal force provided by the hinge is

$F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)$

Now substituting for T

$F_{x} = \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } * \frac{1}{2}$

$Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg$

You just multiply these two numbers. It's 5200J, or 5.2kJ
