Answer:

=1419.19 meters.

Explanation:

The time it takes for the shell to drop to the tanker from the height, H =1/2gt²

610m=1/2×9.8×t²

t²=(610m×2)/9.8m/s²

t²=124.49s²

t=11.16 s

Therefore, it takes 11.16 seconds for a free fall from a height of 610m

Range= Initial velocity×time taken to hit the tanker.

R=v₁t

Lets change 300 mph to kph.

=300×1.60934 =482.802 kph

Relative velocity=482.802 kph-25 kph

=457.802 kph

Lets change 11.16 seconds to hours.

=11.16/(3600)

=0.0031 hours.

R=v₁t

=457.802 kph × 0.0031 hours.

=1.41918 km

=1.41919 km × 1000m/km

=1419.19 meters.

Find the length of an arc with a radius of 6.0m swept across 2.5 radians.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Hello!

In terms of an arc length, radians is the measurement of an arc length in terms of the original radius. This arc length is 2.5 radians, so we multiply it by our original radius.

2.5(6)=15

Therefore, the arc length is 15 meters.

I hope this helps!

A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a speed of 22 mph on a horizontal road. The distance between the axles is 42 in., and the mass
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The shortest distance is  S = 24.86 ft

Explanation:

The free body diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the bicycle is v_b = 22\ mph = 22 * \frac{5280}{3600}   =  32.26 ft/s

     The distance between the axial is  d = 42 \ in

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_c = 26 \ in  behind the front axle

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_h = 40 \ in above the ground

   For the bicycle not to be thrown over the

     Momentum about the back wheel must be zero so

                \sum _B = 0

=>             mg (26) = ma(40)

=>             a = \frac{26}{40} g

Here  g = 32.2 ft/s^2

     So     a =  \frac{26}{40} (32.2)

             a =  20.93 ft/s^2

Apply the equation of motion to this motion we have

       v^2 = u^2 + 2as

 Where  u = 32.26 ft /s

             and v = 0 since the bicycle is coming to a stop

        v^2 = (32.26)^2 - 2(20.93) S

=>      S = 24.86 ft

An astronaut on an alien planet drops a rock into a crater which is 100 meters deep. The rock hits the bottom of the crater 4 se
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

what is the magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east a. east b. meters per second c. 13 m/s d. meters
Katen [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Magnitude of any quantity is the measurable value of the quantity. While the direction of the given quantity is the specific pointing direction of position or the angle at which it move.

The magnitude of the vector described below? 13 m/s to the east will be 13 m/s

While the direction will be eastward.

Therefore, the magnitude is 13 m/s

The correct answer is option C
