<span>Using a calculator, we find that Usain Bolt's average speed over the 100 meter race was about 23.2 miles per hour. Note that some of the numbers in this calculation, namely 100, 3600, and 5280 are exact while 3.28 and 9.63 are only approximate. Since the approximate numbers only have 3 significant digits we only report three digits in the final answer.

A 94 g particle undergoes SHM with an amplitude of 8.3 mm, a maximum acceleration of magnitude 7.8 x 103 m/s2, and an unknown ph
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a) T = 6.49*10^-3 s

b) v = 8 m/s

c) E = 3 J

d) F = 733 N

e) F = 366.5 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of particle, m = 94 g = 0.094 kg

Amplitude of the particle, A = 8.3 mm = 8.3*10^-3 m

Maximum acceleration of particle, a = 7.8*10^3 m/s²

the equation describing Simple Harmonic Motion is given as

x = A cos (wt +φ)

To fond the acceleration of this relationship, we would have to integrate. Twice, the first would be a Velocity, and the second acceleration that we need.

Velocity = dx/dt = -Aw sin(wt + φ)

Acceleration = d²x/dt = -Aw² cos(wt + φ)

From the question, we were given, magnitude of acceleration to be 7.8*10^3 m/s²

Aw² = 7.8*10^3

w² = 7.8*10^3 / A

w² = 7.8*10^3 / 8.3*10^-3

w² = 939759

w = √939759

w = 969

Recall, T = 2π/w, so that

T = (2 * 3.142) / 969

T = 6.49*10^-3 s

Maximum speed = Aw

Maximum speed = 8.3*10^-3 * 969

Maximum speed = 8.0 m/s

Total mechanical energy oscillator =

mgx + 1/2mx² =

1/2mv(max)² =

1/2 * 0.094 * 8² =

3 J

Maximum displacement

x = A cos(wt + φ)

For x to be maximum here, then cos(wt + φ) Must be equal to 1

Acceleration = d²x/dt² = -Aw²

And force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.094 * 7.8*10^3

Force = 733 N

x = A cos(wt + φ), where cos(wt + φ) = 1/2

d²x/dt² = -Aw² * 1/2

d²x/dt² = 733 * 0.5

= 366.5 N

If a plane is flying level at 910 km/h and the banking angle is not to exceed 50 ∘, what's the minimum curvature radius for the
hoa [83]

Answer:

5.5 km

Explanation:

First, we convert the distance from km/h to m/s

910 * 1000/3600

= 252.78 m/s

Now, we use the formula v²/r = gtanθ to get our needed radius

making r the subject of the formula, we have

r = v²/gtanθ, where

r = radius of curvature needed

g = acceleration due to gravity

θ = angle of banking

r = 252.78² / (9.8 * tan 50)

r = 63897.73 / (9.8 * 1.19)

r = 63897.73 / 11.662

r = 5479 m or 5.5 km

Thus, we conclude that the minimum curvature radius needed for the turn is 5.5 km

You are working as a summer intern for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and are assigned to some initial work
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

Pressure = 169925 Pa

so, Force = PA

Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

Force = 120.1 N

What is the primary cause of diffusion?
Lostsunrise [7]
<span><u>Answer</u>
c). random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

<u>Explanation </u>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration. The rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing amount of temperature but this is not its primary cause. Diffusion is primarily caused by movement of molecules or atoms in a substances. Form the choices given, the correct answer is c. random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

natima [27]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

She says that the object of the experiment is to see how far the string stretches given a mass attached to the string.

The only thing that is at issue is either the mass or the amount the string stretches.

Nothing else matters.

The dependent variable therefore is the amount the string stretches. So the last choice is the answer.
