<span>The solution is: Earth circumference is 2*pi*r=25,130 miles 25,130 miles corresponds to 360Âş, so 5,000 miles corresponds to 360*5000/25130 = 71,6Âş 71,6Âş is equivalent to 71,6*2pi/360=1,25 radians Angular velocity is 1,25/9=0,139 rad/h</span>

Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

3. What is the gravitational force between a 70 kg physics student and her 1 kg textbook, at a distance of 1 meter? (This number
Rina8888 [55]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of the student, M = 70 kg

Mass of the textbook, m = 1 kg

Distance, r = 1 m

To find the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook, apply the formula for gravitational force:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G = gravitational constant

Therefore, the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook is:

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67430*10^{-11}*70*1}{1^2} \\  \\ F=4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{gathered}

That is the answer.

A train travels 76 kilometers in 2 hours and then 54 kilometers in 5 hours .What is the average speed ?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
V = d ÷ t --> bc d=vt
V = (76+54)÷(2+5) = 130÷7 = 18.57km/hr

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0
Vlada [557]
Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2
