Answer: 266.0 s ≈ 4.4 min

Explanation:

1) Data

Wr = 43,576 N
F = 11,918 N
V = 713 m/s
t =?

2) Principles and formulas

Impulse and conservation of momentum

I = F.t = Δp

Δp = mΔv

3) Solution

m = Wr / g = 43,576N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4,446.5 kg

Δp = mΔv => 4,446.5 kg * 713 m/s = 3,170,354,5 N*s

I = F.t = Δp  => t = Δp / F = 3,710,354.5 N*s / 11,918N = 266.0 s

t = 266.0 s ≈ 4.4 min

Levart [38]
<span>The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. the heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat leaves a system, that energy is transferred to its surroundings. Since the air is the surroundings, the heat is transferred to the air increasing the temperature. This causes an increase in the individual air molecules' energy.</span>

Which of the following is a vector quantity?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B. 30 m down

Explanation:

In physics we have two types of quantities:

- Scalar quantity: it is a quantity which only has a magnitude (e.g: mass and time are scalar quantities, since they only have a magnitude)

- Vector quantity: it is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction (e.g: velocity is a vector quantity, since it has a magnitude (the speed) and a direction)

In this problem, we have:

A. 100 ounces of water  --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

B. 30 m down  --> vector (this is a displacement, which has both a magnitude (30 m) and a direction (down)

C. 88 mi/s  --> scalar (this is a speed, which has only a magnitude)

D. 45 gallons in a bucket --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

So, the correct option is B.

A 747 airliner reaches its takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in 35.2 s. what is the magnitude of its average acceleration
wolverine [178]
<span>7.21 ft/s^2
       
Since you're looking for average acceleration, you can simply divide the change in velocity by the time. To make the calculation more reasonable, first convert the speed of 173 mi/h into ft/sec by multiplying by 5280 to convert from mi/h to ft/h and then dividing by 3600 to convert from ft/h to ft/s. 173 * 5280 / 3600 = 253.7333 ft/s Now divide the change in velocity by the time in seconds. 253.7333 ft/s / 35.2 s = 7.208333 ft/s^2 Rounding result to 3 significant figures gives 7.21 ft/s^2</span>

In a machine shop, a hydraulic lift is used to raise heavy equipment for repairs. The system has a small piston with a cross-sec
Mrac [35]

Answer:

F_s=1075.9493\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • area of piston on the smaller side of hydraulic lift, a_s=0.075\ m^2
  • area of piston on the larger side of hydraulic lift, a_l=0.237\ m^2
  • Weight of the engine on the larger side, W_l=3400\ N

Now, using Pascal's law which state that the pressure change in at any point in a confined continuum of an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid at its each point.

P_s=P_l

\frac{F_s}{a_s}=\frac{W_l}{a_l}

\frac{F_s}{0.075} =\frac{3400}{0.237}

F_s=1075.9493\ N is the required effort force.
