<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.8 s    

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi =    400 meters

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

                      a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.8 s

      Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

                      v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele
artcher [175]

Answer:

<em>the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J),  The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

<em>Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>v² = 0² +2×1×30</em>

<em>v² = 60</em>

<em>v = √60</em>

<em>v = 7.75 m/s</em>

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²</em>

<em>W = (4.0×10³)(60)</em>

W = 240 × 10³ J

<em>W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

<em>Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet
densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726  m^3/s

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min to m^3/s

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x 10^3 ft3 = 1.85 x 10^3 x 0.0283 m3

     = 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x 10^3 ft^3/min = 52.355/60  m^3/s

        = 0.8726  m^3/s

How do mechanical waves compare with electromagnetic waves?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Main Difference Between Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves

A wave is composed of some kind of disturbance that propagates. We can classify waves into many different types based on their properties. One of the properties of the waves depends on whether they need a medium to propagate or not. The primary difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves is also based on this property. Mechanical waves need a medium, while electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. The other differences between mechanical and electromagnetic waves are given below:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is an empty space, whereas mechanical waves cannot. They need a medium to travel such as water or air. Ripples in a pond are an example of mechanical waves whereas electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals, which can travel through the vacuum of space.

Mechanical waves can be classed as elastic waves because their transmission depends on the medium's (water, air etc.) elastic properties.

Electromagnetic waves are caused because of the varying magnetic and electric fields. They are produced by the vibration of the charged particles.

Because of these differences, the speed of each type of wave varies significantly. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light but mechanical waves are far slower.

                                                                            Have a wonderful day!
