Answer:

Objects that fall near Earth’s surface are rarely in free fall.

"Free fall" is the situation where the ONLY force on an object is

the force of gravity, and nothing else.

Objects near Earth's surface are almost always surrounded by air.

If they are falling, then the air is exerting forces on them, and they

are not in "free fall".

A fairground ride consists of a large vertical drum that spins so
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

v = 3.84 m/s

Explanation:

In order for the riders to stay pinned against the inside of the drum the frictional force on them must be equal to the centripetal force:

Centripetal\ Force = Frictional\ Force\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu R = \mu W\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = \mu mg\\\\\frac{v^2}{r} = \mu g\\\\v = \sqrt{\mu gr}

where,

v = minimum speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius = 10 m

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.15

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{(0.15)(9.81\ m/s^2)(10\ m)}

<u>v = 3.84 m/s</u>

The spin-drier of a washing machine revolving at 900.RPM slows down uniformly to 300.RPM while making 60. revolutions. Find the
jeyben [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Acceleration is </u><u>-10.57 rad/s²  </u>

<u>Time is </u><u>6 seconds</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>a) </h3>

u=900rpm= 94.248 rad/s  

v =300rpm= 31.416 rad/s  

s=60 revolutions= 377 rad  

v²= u²+ 2as  

31.416² = 94.248²+ 2 * a * 377  

a = v²-u² / 2s

a= -10.57 rad/s²  

<h3>b) </h3>

Using 1st equation of motion

v-u/a = t

Putting the values

t = (31.4 - 94.2)/-10.57

t = 6 seconds

A cat is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates for 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?
vova2212 [387]

Answer: acceleration:4 m/s^{2}

              velocity: 26 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question is written bellow:

<em>A cat is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates at </em>4 m/s^{2}<em> for 2 seconds. What is his new velocity?  </em>

<em />

In this situation the following equation will be useful:

V=V_{o}+at

Where:

V is the cat’s final velocity (new velocity)

V_{o}=18 m/s is the cat’s initial velocity

a=4 m/s^{2} is the cat's acceleration

t=2 s is the time

Solving the equation:

V=18 m/s+(4 m/s^{2})(2 s)

V=26 m/s This is the cat's new velocity

Answer: D <u>(chemical</u>  -> <u>heat</u> -> <u>mechanical</u>)

In automobile engines the petrol/diesel fuel enter in to the engine cylinder, due to spark at the end of the compression, fuel burnt increase the temperature and pressure, develops heat <em>(chemical energy -> heat energy). </em><em>This heat energy acts on a piston develops the work on the crankshaft </em><em>( Heat energy -> Mechanical energy)</em><em>. </em>

A car accelerates from rest to 90m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration and how far did it travel?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

90m/s*3seconds

=270m
