A parsec is an astronomical unit of distance where 1 parsec = 3.26 light years (1 light year equals the distance traveled by lig

ht in one year). If the speed of light is 186,000 mi/s, calculate the distance in meters of an object that travels 9.5 parsecs.

Answer:

2932016616×10⁸ m

Explanation:

1 parsec = 3.26 light years

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance traveled by light in one year

3×10⁸×365.25×24×60×60

3.26 light years = 3.26×3×10⁸×365.25×24×60×60 = 308633328 ×10⁸m

⇒ 1 parsec = 308633328 ×10⁸m

9.5 parsecs = 9.5×308633328×10⁸

⇒9.5 parsecs = 2932016616×10⁸ m

Distance in meters of an object that travels 9.5 parsecs is 2932016616×10⁸ m

A yo-yo of mass M has an axle of radius b and a spool of radius R. Its moment of inertia can be taken to be MR2/2 and the thickn

kow [346]

Answer:

The tension in the cord is $T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

$bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

$Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

Replacing in eq. 1

$T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2} }$

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$

A 5 kg wooden block sitson a flat straight-away12 meters fromthe bottom of an infinitely long ramp, which has an angle of 20 deg

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a) 19.71801m/s Velocity just before going up the ramp.

(b) 74.56338m.

Explanation:

We will solve it in two parts, first we will calculate time that 5kg wooden block would take to just reach ramp and with this time we will calculate final velocity that the wooden block would have in this time.

Second, we will calculate the component of velocity vector along inclined plane and the time that it would take for velocity to be 0 meters/s then with this time we will calculate the distance that inclined plane would travel along inclined plane.

Following formulas will be used.

$x(t) = \frac{1}{2} t^2 = 12m =16.2m/s^2 t^2$

$F =ma$

$V(t) = V_{o} +at$

$x(t) = x_{0} +v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a t^2$

(a) Calculating velocity right before going up the ramp.

Wooden block is going on a straightaway and has net for on it.

$F_{n} =F-F_{s} = F-uF_{n} = 100N-0.4*9.8m/s^2*5kg$ = $81N$

and this force produces acceleration of

$a = \frac{F}{m}=\frac{81}{5} =16.2m/s^2 .$

With this acceleration, wooden block would reach at the foot of ramp in.

$x(t) = 12m = 16.2m/s^2*t^2$

$t = 1.217s$

and final velocity will be

$v(t) = v_{0}+at = 0+16.2m/s^2*1.2171s = 19.7180m/s.$

this velocity of wooden box just before going up the ramp.

(b) How far up the ramp will the wooden block go before stopping.

Ramp is at 20° relative to horizontal therefore velocity along the ramp that the wooden block would have will be.

$V= V_{h}cos(20) = 18.5288m/s$

and deceleration along the ramp is

$a = \frac{F_{s} }{m}$

Where $F_{s}$ force of friction along the inclined plane.

$F_s = uF_n = u*m*a$

$a = 9.8m/s^2*cos(20) = 9.2089m/s^2$

is a component of g along normal of the inclined plane.

$F_{s} = 0.25*5kg*9.2089m/s^2$

$= 11.5112N$

$a = \frac{11.5112N}{5kg} = 2.3022m/s^2$

And with this deceleration time needed to get wooded block to stop is.

$v(t) = v_o-at = 18.5288m/s-2.3022m/s^2*t = 0$

$t = \frac{18.5288m/s}{2.3022m/s^2} =8.04813s$

and in that time wooden block would travel

$x(8.04813s) = 18.52881m/s *8.04813s-\frac{1}{} 2.3022m/s^2*(8.0481)^2=74.56338m$

This is how up wooden box will go before coming to stop.
