Answer: 34.68 mile/min^2

Explanation:

1 mile = 1609 meter

1 min = 60 s then squared will be 3600s

Mile/min^2 = 2.24

Give 15.5m/s^2

We multiply

15.5 by 2.24

= 34.68 mile/min^2

You have to use conversion units for this. For every 1 mile, there is an equivalent amount of 1,609 meters. For every 1 minute, there is an equivalent amount of 60 seconds. Using the dimensional analysis approach, the solution is as follows:

Acceleration = 15.5 m/s²*(1 mile/1,609 m)*(60 s/1 min)² = 34.68 miles/min²

What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Fr = 48 [N] forward.

Explanation:

Suppose the movement is on the X axis, in this way we have the force of the engine that produces the movement to the right, while the force produced by the brake causes the vehicle to decrease its speed in this way the sign must be negative.

∑F = Fr

$F_{engine}-F_{brake} =F_{r}\\F_{r}=79-31\\F_{r}=48[N]$

The movement remains forward, since the force produced by the movement is greater than the braking force.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.83 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

timama [110]

Answer:

The tangential speed of the tack is 6.988 meters per second.

Explanation:

The tangential speed experimented by the tack ( $v$ ), measured in meters per second, is equal to the product of the angular speed of the wheel ( $\omega$ ), measured in radians per second, and the distance of the tack respect to the rotation axis ( $R$ ), measured in meters, length that coincides with the radius of the tire. First, we convert the angular speed of the wheel from revolutions per second to radians per second:
