A submarine is 58.8 m from a whale. The sub sends out a sonar ping to locate the whale. The speed of sound underwater is 1520 m/

s. How much time does it take for the sound wave to travel to the whale and back? (Unit = s)

Answer:

0.08

Explanation:

this problem assume that both of whale and submarine are in rest position or in constant linier motion in same direction and same speed.

The sound will travel from Submarine to the whale and back again to submarine. so the time will be like this

t = 2d/v

t = 2*58.8/1520

t = 117.6/1520

t = 0.077368 s

t ≈ 0.08 s (less then 1 s)

What is the acceleration of a Porsche that can go from 15 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr in 4 seconds?
Elodia [21]

Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

A small grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0*10-5kgm2. What net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acc
kvv77 [185]

Hi there!

We can use the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:

\huge\boxed{\Sigma \tau = I \alpha}

Στ = Net Torque (Nm)

I = Moment of inertia (kgm²)

α = Angular acceleration (rad/sec²)

We can plug in the given values to solve.

\Sigma \tau = (4 * 10^{-5})(150) = \boxed{0.006 Nm}

A heavy solid disk rotating freely and slowed only by friction applied at its outer edge takes 120 seconds to come to a stop.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The time is 16 min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 120 sec

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2

If the disk had twice the radius and twice the mass

The new moment of inertia

I'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2M\times(2R)^2

I'=8I

We know,

The torque is

\tau=F\times R

We need to calculate the initial rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}

Put the value in to the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}

\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{MR}

We need to calculate the new rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

\alpha'=\dfrac{\tau}{I'}

Put the value in to the formula

\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{8\times\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}

\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{8MR}

\alpha=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}

Rotation speed is same.

We need to calculate the time

Using formula angular velocity

\Omega=\omega'

\alpha\time t=\alpha'\times t'

Put the value into the formula

\alpha\times120=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}\times t'

t'=960\ sec

t'=16\ min

Hence, The time is 16 min.

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?
34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s
