Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) h max = 529.7 m

b) t = 20.4 s

c) t = 20.6 s

Explanation:

a) h max = -(vo)² / 2g

              = 100² / 2(9.81)

              = 10000 / 19.62

              = 509.7 m

total height = 509.7 + 20 = 529.7 m

b)  

    h = gt² / 2

    t = √ 2h / g

    t = √ 2(509.7)/9.81

    t = √ 103.91

    t = 10.19 s  

    total time = 2 x t = 2 x 10.19 = 20.4 s

c)

   h = vot + 1/2gt²

   20 = 100t + 1/2(9.91) t²

  4.9t² + 100 t -20 = 0   quadratic equation

t = 0.19 s

Total time = 0.19 + 20.4 = 20.6 s

Identify each unit as belonging to SI units or US Customary units.
torisob [31]

Answer:

<em>SI Units</em>

              Meter

              Kilogram

              Kelvin

<em>US Customary Units and English Units</em>

              Gallon

              Mile

              Pound

              Degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

The SI units or International System of Units are the widely used metrics of measuring a physical quantity. It has specific abbreviations.

The US customary units is a measurement system where it is widely used in the united states. This system of unit also has abbreviations.

There are also conversion scales that are used to convert a unit from one metric system to the other.

For example, the conversion of mile to SI unit is given by the formula

                             1 mile = 1609.4 meters

Similarly,                

                             1 pound = 0.453592 Kg

A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

T-P=F=>T=F+P

T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate
Mariana [72]
According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.
