If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 second along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hou

Whitepunk [10]

Total distance = 36500 m

The average velocity = 19.73 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

vo=initial velocity=0(from rest)

a=acceleration= 1 m/s²

t₁ = 20 s

t₂ = 0.5 hr = 1800 s

t₃= 30 s

Required

Total distance

Solution

State 1 : acceleration

$\tt d=vo.t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 20^2\rightarrow vo=0\\\\d=200~m$

$\tt vt=vo+at\\\\vt=at\rightarrow vo=0\\\\vt=1\times 20\\\\vt=20~m/s$

State 2 : constant speed

$\tt d=v\times t\\\\d=20\times 1800\\\\d=36000~m$

State 3 : deceleration

$\tt vt=vo+at\rightarrow vt=0(stop)\\\\vo=-at\\\\20=-a.30~s\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}m/s^2(negative=deceleration)$

$\tt d=vot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=20.30-\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2}{3}.30^2\\\\d=300~m$

Total distance : state 1+ state 2+state 3

$\tt 200 + 36000 + 300=36500~m$

the average velocity = total distance : total time

$\tt avg~velocity=\dfrac{36500}{20~s+1800~s+30~s}=19.73~m/s$

Darina [25.2K]

The maximum height reached by the ball is 99.2 m

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown straight up, it follows a free fall motion, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground). Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

In this problem, we have:

u = 44.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity when the ball reaches the maximum height

s is the maximum height

$a=-g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (downward, so negative)

Solving for s, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:

$s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}=-\frac{44.1^2}{2(-9.8)}=99.2 m$

Alvin (DSV-2) is a manned deep-ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The vehicle was built by General Mills' Electronics Group[2] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Named to honor the prime mover and creative inspiration for the vehicle, Allyn Vine, Alvin was commissioned on 5 June 1964. The submersible is launched from the deep submergence support vessel RV Atlantis (AGOR-25), which is also owned by the U.S. Navy and operated by WHOI. The submersible has made more than 4,400 dives, carrying two scientists and a pilot, to observe the lifeforms that must cope with super-pressures

Person is lifting a 250 N dumbbell. The weight is 30 cm from the pivot point of the elbow. What force must be exerted five from

qwelly [4]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.

For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N

Answer: 1500 N
