If we changed our speed limit signs to metric, what would probably replace 55 mi/h? (please round your answer to the nearest 1 k

m/h.)

55 miles/ hour

1 mile = 1.609 kilometers

So ..................>>> 55 (1.609) [km/h] = 88.495 km/h

Rounding the answer....>>> 88 km/h

A space vehicle is traveling at 3760 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

almond37 [142]

Answer:

3688 km/h

Explanation:

Given:-

- The speed of vehicle relative to earth, vs_e = 3760 km/h

- The relative speed of command and motor, v_c/m = 90 km/h

- The mass of command = m

- The mass of motor = 4m

Find:-

What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation?

Solution:-

- Consider the space vehicle as a system that detaches itself into two parts ( command and motor ). We will assume that the gravitational pull due to Earth on the space vehicle is negligible. With that assumption we have our system in isolation. We will apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum on the system as follows:

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Pi = Pf

M*vs_e = m*vc_e + 4m*vm_e

Where,

M = m + 4m = 5m

vc_e = Velocity of command relative to earth

vm_e = Velocity of motor relative to earth

- We will develop a relation of velocities of command and motor in the frame of earth as follows:

vm_e = v_c/m + vc_e

- Substituting (vm_e) from Equation 2 into Equation 1, we have:

5m*vs_e = m*vc_e + 4m*(v_c/m + vc_e)

5m*vs_e = 5m*vc_e + 4m*(v_c/m)

- Solve for vc_e:

5m*vs_e - 4m*(v_c/m) = 5m*vc_e

vs_e - 0.8*(v_c/m) = vc_e

- Plug in values and evaluate vc_e:

vc_e = 3760 - 0.8*(90)

vc_e = 3,688 km/h

A block pushed along the floor with velocity V0 slides a distance d after the pushing force is removed. a) if the mass of the bl

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

$a) \ d_2=d_1\\b) \ d_2=4d_1$

Explanation:

Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.

In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.

If we use the law of energy conservation:

$E_i=E_f\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= E_{Friction}\\E_{Friction}=F_{Friction}*d\\F_{Friction}= \mu_kmg\\\frac{mv^2}{2}= \mu_kmgd\\ d=\frac{v^2}{2\mu_kg}$

a)

Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.

b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.

A steel beam that is 5.50 m long weighs 332 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m

Weight of the beam, ( $W_{b}$ ) = 332 N

Weight of the Suki, ( $W_{s}$ ) = 505 N

After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

$\sum M_{o} = 0$

$-W_{s} \times x + W_{b} \times 1.5$ = 0

x = $\frac{W_{b} \times 1.5}{W_{s}}$

= $\frac{332 N \times 1.5}{505 N}$

= 0.986 m

Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.

Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
