Given:
Stopping distance range is d = (65, 70) ft.

The stopping distance, d, obeys this formula.
d = v²/(2μg)
where
v = speed of the vehicle
μ = 0.8, coefficient of static friction under good road conditions
g =  acceleration due to gravity, 32.2 ft/s²

Therefore
v = √(2*0.8*32.2*d) = 7.178√d

Test d = 65 ft.
v = 7.178√(65) = 57.87 ft/s = (57.87/88)*60 = 39.5 mph

Test d = 70 ft.
v = 7.178√(70) = 60.05 ft/s = 40.9 mph

To be safe, the lower speed of 39.5 mph is preferred.

Answer: 40 mph

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

Since you've determined that the power supply is a 700W dual rail, what does that make the maximum output power?
inysia [295]

700 makes the maximum output power.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. The output power of a motor is the product of the torque that the motor generates and the angular velocity of its output shaft.

A joule is equal to one Newton-meter, which is the amount of work needed to move a 1 Newton force a distance of 1 meter. When you divide work by time, you get power, measured in units of joules per second. This is also called a Watt. 1 Watt = 1 Joule Sec. This is the formula to calculate output power.
