Answer:

15 miles /seconds

Explanation:

Distance = 600m

Time = 40 seconds

Speed=?

$speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\ speed = \frac{600}{40}$

Simplify

$\frac{600}{40} = \frac{60}{4} \\ = 15$

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Period and Centripetal Acceleration.

By definition centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Where,

V = Tangencial velocity

r = radius

With our values we know that

$a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}$

$\frac{V^2}{r} = \frac{1}{10}g$

Therefore solving to find V, we have:

$V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}g*r}$

$V = \sqrt{\frac{9.81*200}{10}}$

$V = 14m/s$

For definition we know that the Time to complete are revolution is given by

$t = \frac{Perimeter}{Speed}$

$t = \frac{2\pi R}{V}$

$t = \frac{2\pi * 200}{14}$

$t = 1.5min$

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu

DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

$h= ut- 16 t^2$

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$0 = 192 t - 16 t^2 \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s$ .

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
