D = 0.9 km = 900 m, distance moved
v = 35 nm/s , the speed

v = 35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s
   = (35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s)*(365 days/y)*(24*60*60 s/day)
   = 1.1038 m/y

The time iaken is
t = d/v
  = (900 m)/(1.1038 m/y)
  = 815.365 y

Answer: 815.4 y (nearest tenth)

A pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3 of his trip. How much longer will it take him to complete his trip?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: The answer is 1.5 hours.


Step-by-step explanation: Given that the pilot took 1/2 hour to complete 1/3rd of his trip. We are to calculate the time that he will take to complete his trip.

Time taken by the pilot to complete 1/3 rd of his trip = 1/2

Therefore, time taken by the pilot to complete his trip is given by

t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3=1.5.

Thus, the pilot will take 1.5 hours to complete his trip.

Anastasy [175]

a) In this case the forces are the centrifugal force Fcp, which is directed horizontally toward the wall; the force of static friction Ff with the wall, directed upward; the normal force Fn by the wall, which is directed away the wall; the force of gravity Fg, directed downwards. Then we have that the horizontal forces are all equal in magnitude; similarly the vertical forces are also all equal in magnitude.

 

b) The minimum coefficient s occurs when force of gravity is equals the max friction force, that is

Fg = Ff,max

m g = s Fn

 

Also, the normal force has equal magnitude to the centrifugal force:

m g = s Fcp

m g = s m w^2 r

g = s w^2 r

s = g / (r w^2)

 

With values: g = 9.81 m/s^2; r = 2.5 m; and w = 2pi * 0.60 = 3.77 rad/s; we find

 

s = 9.81 / (2.5 * 3.77^2) = 0.276
