Can a runner on a track be accelerating even if she is running at a constant speed why or why not

If the runner is running in a circular track then yes when something or someone is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed they are indeed accelerating. They’re accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c
eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g

Consider a Carnot heat-engine cycle executed in a closed system using 0.025 kg of steam as the working fluid. It is known that t
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is 42.5°C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the maximum temperature T_H in the cycle is twice the minimum absolute temperature T_L in the cycle

T_H  = 0.5T_L

now, we find the efficiency of the Carnot cycle engine

η_{th = 1 - T_L/T_H

η_{th = 1 - T_L/0.5T_L

η_{th = 0.5

the efficiency of the Carnot heat engine can be expressed as;

η_{th = 1 - W_{net/Q_H

where W_{net is net work done, Q_H is is the heat supplied

we substitute

0.5 = 60 / Q_H

Q_H = 60 / 0.5

Q_H = 120 kJ

Now, we apply the first law of thermodynamics to the system

W_{net = Q_H - Q_L

60 = 120 -  Q_L

Q_L = 60 kJ

now, the amount of heat rejection per kg of steam is;

q_L = Q_L/m

we substitute

q_L = 60/0.025

q_L = 2400 kJ/kg

which means for 1 kilogram of conversion of saturated vapor to saturated liquid , it takes 2400 kJ/kg of heat ( enthalpy of vaporization)

q_L = h_{fg = 2400 kJ/kg

now, at  h_{fg  = 2400 kJ/kg from saturated water tables;

T_L = 40 + ( 45 - 40 ) ( \frac{2400-2406.0}{2394.0-2406.0}\\} )

T_L = 40 + (5) × (0.5)

T_L = 40 + 2.5

T_L = 42.5°C  

Therefore, The temperature of the steam during the heat rejection process is 42.5°C

A small plane flies 37.0 km in a direction 45° north of east and then flies 28.0 km in a direction 25° north of east.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

d= 64.1 km θ = 36.4º

Explanation:

a) In order to find the plane's straight-line distance from the starting point, we need to know the coordinates of the final and initial position of the plane, so we can find the total displacement, as the difference between the final and initial position.

If we choose to put our origin at the initial point of trajectory, we have that (x₀, y₀) = (0, 0)

In order to find the position of the plane after finishing the flight, we need to find its final coordinates (x₁, y₁).

In order to get x₁, we need to add the x-coordinate after flying 45º north of east, and the Δx after  completing the flight in a direction 25º of east, that we can find applying trigonometry, as follows:

x₁ = 37.0 km * cos 45º + 28.0 km* cos 25º = 51.6 Km

Appying the same considerations for the y-coordinate, we have:

y₁ = 37.0 km * sin 45º + 28.0 km* sin 25º = 38.0 km

Now, as the initial position coincides with the origin, the distance in a straight line from this point to the origin, is just the hypotenuse of the triangle determined by the coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (0,0), as follows:

d = \sqrt{x1^{2}+y1^{2}} =\sqrt{(51.6km)^{2}+(38km)^{2}} =64.1 km

The geographic direction of the displacement vector (which coincides in magnitude with the distance we have just found), is just the angle that this distance forms with the east axis, that we can find getting the tangent of this angle as follows:

tg θ =\frac{y1}{x1} = \frac{38km}{56.1km} =0.736

⇒ θ = 36.4º North of East (counterclockwise from the east axis).

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1683 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f
artcher [175]

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg =   ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N
