<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Given that the block have two applied masses 250 g at East and 100 g at South. In order to make a situation in which block moves towards point A, we have to apply minimum number of masses to the blocks. In order to prevent block moving toward East, we have to apply a mass at West, equal to the magnitude of mass at East but opposite in direction. Therefore, mass of 250 g at West is the required additional mass that has to be added. There is already 100 g of mass acting at South, that will attract block towards South or point A. No need to add further mass in North-South direction.

A dragster starts with zero velocity and completes a 404.5 m (0.2528 mile) run in 4.922 s. If the car had a constant acceleratio
KIM [24]

Answer:

a. a=33.34ms⁻², V=164.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the dragster started with zero velocity, de determine the acceleration using of the equations of motion.

Below are the data given

Distance, s=404.5m,

time taken,t=4.922secs

Using the equation

S=ut+1/2at²

where u is the initial velocity and u=0

Making the acceleration the subject of the formula, we arrive at

a=2s/t²

a=(2*404.5)/4.922²

a=33.34ms⁻².

To determine the velocity, we use

V=u+at

V=0+33.34ms⁻² *4.922sec

V=164.4m/s
