Only a small Percentage of the energy emitted by the sun strikes earth because, since the earth is going in circles round and round, the sun only hits part of the earth and not fully. So for example if the earth is going around and the sun hits Africa then in a couple minutes it will go to the next country and that country will have sunlight. Let me know if you need anything else or if this isn't partially correct. GLAD TO HELP! :)

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull

sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

f = 8.38 Hz

$\omega = 2\pi(8.38)$

$\omega = 52.65 rad/s$

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

$v = A\omega$

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

$v = 0.175 (52.65)$

$v = 9.21 m/s$

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. A 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end, whe

Elden [556K]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

$Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)$

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

$400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)$

$r - 10 = 0.098$

$r = 10.098 m$

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

A highway curves to the left with radius of curvature of 36 m and is banked at 28 ◦ so that cars can take this curve at higher s

iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 30.34m/s

Explanation:

The sum of forces in the y direction 0 = N cos 28 - μN sin28 - mg

Sum of forces in the x direction

mv²/r = N sin 28 + μN cos 28

mv²/r = N(sin 28 + μcos 28)

Thus,

mv²/r = mg [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/r = g [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.87*0.8829) - (0.8829 - 0.87*0.4695)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.7681) / (0.8829 - 0.4085)]

v²/36 = 9.8 (1.2376/0.4744)

v²/36 = 9.8 * 2.6088

v²/36 = 25.57

v² = 920.52

v = 30.34m/s

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

Y axis

N- W = 0

N = W = mg

X axis

-Fr = m a

-μ N = m a

-μ mg = ma

a = μ g

a = - 0.32 9.8

a = - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

x= 35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.8 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s² in the negative direction. What is the fina

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Final velocity of the car will be -9.28 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that the car starts from the rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

Acceleration of the car $a=1.6m/sec^2$ in negative direction so acceleration will be $a=-1.6m/sec^2$

From first equation of motion we know that

v = u+at

So $v=0+(-1.6)\times 5.8=-9.28m/sec$

So final velocity will be -9.28 m/sec
