An olympic hurdler accelerates at a rate of 15.5 m/s2 . what is the rate in miles/min2 ?

Physics

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

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must
mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

How is a scientific theory different from a hypothesis?
Maslowich
A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result
vivado [14]

Answer:

21.6\ \text{kg m}^2

3.672\ \text{Nm}

54.66\ \text{revolutions}

Explanation:

\tau = Torque = 36.5 Nm

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 0

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2

Torque is given by

\tau=I\alpha_1\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha_1}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{36.5}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow I=21.6\ \text{kg m}^2

The wheel's moment of inertia is 21.6\ \text{kg m}^2

t = 60.6 s

\omega_i = 10.3 rad/s

\omega_f = 0

\alpha_2=\dfrac{0-10.3}{60.6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=-0.17\ \text{rad/s}^2

Frictional torque is given by

\tau_f=I\alpha_2\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=21.6\times -0.17\\\Rightarrow \tau=-3.672\ \text{Nm}

The magnitude of the torque caused by friction is 3.672\ \text{Nm}

Speeding up

\theta_1=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.69\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=31.44\ \text{rad}

Slowing down

\theta_2=10.3\times 60.6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-0.17)\times 60.6^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=312.03\ \text{rad}

Total number of revolutions

\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.44+312.03=343.47\ \text{rad}

\dfrac{343.47}{2\pi}=54.66\ \text{revolutions}

The total number of revolutions the wheel goes through is 54.66\ \text{revolutions}.

A permanent magnet has a magnetic dipole moment of 0.160 A · m^2. The magnet is in the presence of an external uniform magnetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:

the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Explanation:

The torque is given by :

\bar {N} = \bar {m} * \bar {B}

where ;

m = 0.160 A.m²

B = 0.0800 T

θ = 35°

So the magnitude of the torque N = mBsinθ

N = (0.160)(0.0800)(sin 35°)

N = 0.007341

N = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

b) The potential energy \bar{U} = \bar{-m} * \bar{B}

U = -mBcosθ

U = (- 0.160)(0.0800)(cos 45)

U = -0.010485

U = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Thus, the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J
