Answer: Mercury

Explanation:

According to second Kepler's law of planetary motion:

The line joining the planet and the sun sweeps equal areas in equal amount of time. This describes the speed of the planet.

In order to conserve momentum, the planet closest to Sun would travel fastest and planet farthest from Sun would travel slowest.

Since Mercury is the closest planet to sun, it would be fastest.

A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of ramp = 1.5 meter

Horizontal distance he must clear = 22 meter

The car is having horizontal motion and vertical motion. In case of vertical motion the acceleration on the car is acceleration due to gravity.

We have equation of motion, $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In case of vertical motion initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when displacement = 1.5 meter.

$1.5=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 0.553 seconds$

So the car has to cover a distance of 22 meter in 2.119 seconds.

So minimum speed required = 22/0.553 = 39.78 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp = 39.78 m/s

b) When the take of angle is 7⁰ the vertical speed of car is not zero = V sin 7 = 0.122 V

So the in case of vertical motion we have initial velocity = 0.122 V, S = -1.5 meter( below ramp), acceleration = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$-1.5=0.122V*t-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

In case of horizontal motion

Horizontal speed of car = V cos 7 = 0.993V

So it has to travel 22 meter in t seconds

0.993Vt = 22, Vt = 22.155 m

Substituting in the equation $4.9t^2-0.122Vt-1.5=0$

We will get $4.9t^2-0.122*22.155-1.5=0\\ \\ t = 0.926 seconds$

Speed required = 22.155/0.926 = 23.93 m/s

Minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp with 7° above the horizontal = 23.93 m/s

A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat

rusak2 [61]

Power is needed for (1) acceleration and (2) lifting the loaded chairs. These two parts can be calculated separately and then added together.

(1) Power for acceleration:

The final speed of the lift is

V=(10 km/h)(1 h×1000 m60 sec×1 km)=2.887 m/s.

Then the power needed is

Pa=12m(V2−V20)/Δt=12(50×250 kg)(2.778 m/s)2=9.6 kW.

(2) Power for lift

Assume that the acceleration is constant (i.e. power supply is constant), its value will be

a=ΔVΔt=2.778 m/s5 s=0.556 m/s2.

Then the vertical lift during acceleration will be

(12at2)×(2001000)=1.36 m.

Hence, the power needed to increase the potential energy of the lift is

Pg=mgΔhΔt=(50×250 kg) (9.89 m/s2)(1.36 m)/(5 s)=3.41 kW.

Then the total Power required is

Ptotal=Pa+Pg=9.6+34.1=43.7 kW.
