Answer:

It will take 2.45 seconds.

Explanation:

A football field measured 120 yards, that is arround 0.068 miles, the car is moving with a constant speed so the formula we have to apply for this is:

$t=\frac{x}{v}\\where\\x=distance\\v=speed\\$

$t=\frac{0.068}{100}\\t=0.00068hrs$

in order to obtain the time in seconds:

$tsec=0.00068hr*(\frac{3600sec}{1hr} )\\tsec=2.45 sec$

)If a force of 5.00 N is needed to open a 90.0 cm wide door when applied at the edge opposite the hinges, what force must be app

masha68 [24]

Answer:

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

Explanation:

In this case, a force is exerted on the door, a moment is performed and the door is opened. If moment remains constant, the force is inversely proportional to distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges. That is:

$F \propto \frac{1}{r}$

$F = \frac{k}{r}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$F$ - Force, measured in newtons.

$k$ - Proportionality ratio, measured in newton-meters.

$r$ - Distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges, measured in meters.

From (Eq. 1) we get the following relationship and clear the final force within:

$F_{A}\cdot r_{A} = F_{B}\cdot r_{B}$

$F_{B}=\left(\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}} \right)\cdot F_{A}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$F_{A}$ , $F_{B}$ - Initial and final forces, measured in newtons.

$r_{A}$ , $r_{B}$ - Initial and final distances, measured in meters.

If we know that $F_{A} = 5\,N$ , $r_{A} = 0.9\,m$ and $r_{B} = 0.35\,m$ , then final force is:

$F_{B}= \left(\frac{0.9\,m}{0.35\,m} \right)\cdot (5\,N)$

$F_{B} = 12.857\,N$

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

People have been aware of magnets and magnetism for thousands of years. The earliest records date back to ancient times, particularly in the region of Asia Minor called Magnesia-the name of this region is the source of words like magnet. Magnetic rocks found in Magnesia, which is now part of western Turkey, stimulated interest during ancient times. When humans first discovered magnetic rocks, they likely found that certain parts of these rocks attracted bits of iron or other magnetic rocks more strongly than other parts. These areas are called the poles of a magnet. A magnetic pole is the part of a magnet that exerts the strongest force on other magnets or magnetic material, such as iron. For example, the poles of the bar magnet shown in Figure 20.2 are where the paper clips are concentrated.

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

2) Centripetal acceleration

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

here we know that

$\omega = \alpha t$

$a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R$

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}$

so we have

$a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}$

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."
