Complete Question

In the United States, a standard letter-sized piece of paper is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long. The international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper is different. The international standard is based on SI units: 21.0 cm wide by 29.7 cm long.

a. Convert 21.0 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

b. Convert 29.7 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

c. State the dimensions, in inches, of the international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper.

d. Which piece of paper is longer: a U.S. letter-sized piece of paper, or an international letter-sized piece of paper?

Answer:

a) 8.267721 inches ≈ 8.3 inches

b) 11.6929197 inches ≈ 11.7 inches

c) It's dimensions in inches for the international standard for letter - sized for paper = 8.3 wide inches by 11.7 inches long

d) The International standard letter - sized paper is longer.

Explanation:

a. Convert 21.0 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

1 cm = 0.393701inch

21 cm =

Cross Multiply

21 cm × 0.393701inch/ 1 cm

= 8.267721 inches

Approximately 8.3 inches

b. Convert 29.7 cm to inches. Show your dimensional analysis setup.

1 cm = 0.393701inch

29.7 cm =

Cross Multiply

29.7 × 0.393701 inch/ 1 cm

= 11.6929197 inches

Approximately 11.7 inches

c. State the dimensions, in inches, of the international standard for a letter-sized piece of paper.

The international standard for a letter-sized has dimensions 21.0 cm wide by 29.7 cm long.

Where

21.0cm = 8.267721 inches

≈ 8.3 inches

29.7cm = 11.6929197 inches

≈ 11.7 inches

Hence, it's dimensions in inches = 8.3 inches by 11.7 inches.

d. Which piece of paper is longer: a U.S. letter-sized piece of paper, or an international letter-sized piece of paper?

U.S letter - sized paper = 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long

International standard letter- sized paper = 8.3 wide inches by 11.7 inches long.

Hence, the International standard letter - sized paper is longer.

A car travels 40 miles in 30 minutes.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

(a)Average velocity ,v =128.74 Km/hr

(b)Kinetic Energy , K=958546.875 Joule

(c)Distance, s=268.8m

(d)Acceleration, a= - 2.38 m/s^2

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Distance travelled = 40 miles

Time taken = 30 minutes.

(A) The average velocity in kilometres/hour

Converting 40 miles into km ,

we know that,

1 mile = 1.60934

40 miles =  40 x 1.60934

so 40 miles  =  64.3738 Km

similarly converting 30 minutes into hours

1 minute = \frac{1}{60}hours

30 minute = \frac{30}{60}hours

30 minute = \frac{1}{2}hours

Now

Average velocity = \frac{Speed}{time}

Substituting Values,

Average velocity = \frac{64.3738}{\frac[1}{2}}

Average velocity = 64.3738 \times 2

Average velocity =128.74 Km/hr

(B) If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its If the car weighs 1.5 tons, what is its kinetic energy in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)? in joules (Note: you will need to convert your velocity to m/s)?

Converting 1.5 tons into kg we get

1 ton = 1000 kg

so 1.5 ton =1500 kg

converting  velocity to m/s

128.74  \times \frac{5}{18}

=>35.75 m/s----------------------------------------------------------(1)

kinetic energy  K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting the values,

K= \frac{1}{2}1500(35.75)^2

K= \frac{1}{2}1500(1278.06)

K= \frac{1500 \times (1278.06)}{2}

K= \frac{1917093.75}{2}

K=958546.875 Joule---------------------------------------------(2)

(c)When the driver applies the brake, it takes 15 seconds to stop. How far does the car travel (in meters) while stopping

Lets use Distance formula,

S= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substituting the known values,

s= ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s= (37.75)(15)+\frac{1}{2}a(15)^2

s=566.25+\frac{1}{2}a(225)

s=566.25+\frac{(225a)}{2}-------------------------------------(3)

(D) What is the average acceleration of the car (in m/s2) during braking?

Using the formula

v=u +at

re arranging the formula we get,

a = \frac{v - u}{t}

Substituting the values

a = \frac{0 - 35.75}{15}

a = \frac{- 35.75}{15}

a= - 2.38 m/s^2----------------------------------------(4)

Now substituting 4 in 3 we get

s=566.25+\frac{(225( - 2.38)}{2}

s=566.25+\frac{-535.5}{2}

s=536.25-267.75

s=268.8m--------------------------------------------------------------(5)

Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocke
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of a variable mass system, let's form a system formed by the masses of the rocket, the mass of the engines and the masses of the injected gases, in this case the system has a constant mass and can be solved using the conservation the amount of movement. Which can be described by the expressions

        Thrust = v_{e}  \frac{dM}{dt}

        v_{f}-v₀ = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f}} )

where v_{e} is the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket

let's apply these expressions to our case

the initial mass is the mass of the engines plus the mass of the fuel plus the kill of the rocket, let's work the system in SI units

       M₀ = 25.5 +12.7 + 54.5 = 92.7 g = 0.0927 kg

     

The final mass is the mass of the engines + the mass of the rocket

      M_{f} = 25.5 +54.5 = 80 g = 0.080 kg

thrust and duration of ignition are given

       thrust = 5.26 N

       t = 1.90 s

Let's start by calculating the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, where we assume that the rate of consumption is linear

          thrust = v_{e} \frac{M_{f} - M_{o}  }{t_{f} - t_{o}  }

          v_{e} = thrust  \frac{\Delta t}{\Delta M}

          v_{e} = 5.26 \frac{1.90}{0.080 -0.0927}

          v_{e} = - 786.93 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the direction of the gases is opposite to the direction of the rocket

now we look for the final speed of the rocket, which as part of rest its initial speed is zero

            v_{f}-0 = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f} } )

we calculate

            v_{f} = 786.93 ln (0.0927 / 0.080)

            v_{f} = 115.95 m / s
