A car has a uniform velocity of 108km/h. How far does it travel in 30 seconds?​
natita [175]
  • Velocity=108km/h

Convert to m/s

\\ \tt\longmapsto 108\times \dfrac{5}{18}

\\ \tt\longmapsto 30m/s

  • Time=30s.

\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=Velocity\times Time

\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=30(30)

\\ \tt\longmapsto Distance=900m

Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth
zalisa [80]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Given:
R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m, the radius of the earth
h = 3.58 x 10⁷ m, the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.
Therefore
R + h = 4.217 x 10⁷ m

In geosynchronous orbit, the period of rotation is 1 day.
Therefore the period is
T = (24 h)*(60 min/h)*(60 s/min) = 86400 s

The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(86400 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Part (a)
The tangential speed is
v = (R+h)*ω
   = (4.217 x 10⁷ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s) 
   = 3066.7 m/s
   = 3.067 km/s

Part (b)
The centripetal acceleration is
a = v²/(R+h)
   = (3066.7 m/s)²/(4.217 x 10⁷ m)
   = 0.223 m/s²

Answers:
(a) The speed is 3.067 km/s
(b) The acceleration is 0.223 m/s²

The tension of a guitar string is increased by 40%. By what factor odes the fundamental frequency of vibration change? a. 1.13 b
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<h3> b. 1.18</h3>

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;

F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1

L is the length of the string

T is the tension

m is the mass per unit length

If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;

T2 = T + 40%T

T2 = T + 0.4T

T2 = 1.4T

The new fundamental frequency will be;

F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2

Divide 1 by 2;

F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+

F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m

F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T

F2/F = √1.4T/√T

F2/F = 1.18√T/√T

F2/F = 1.18

F2 = 1.18F

Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 7.76 N

Part b)

\theta = -137.7 degree

Part c)

\theta = -127.7 degree

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

x = -19 + t - 3t^3

y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)

a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)

a_x = -18t

a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)

a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)

a_y = -18

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j

at t= 1.1 s we have

\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j

now the net force of the object is given as

\vec F = m\vec a

\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)

\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j

now magnitude of the force will be

F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}

\theta = -137.7 degree

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}

v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)

v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}

v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)

now at t = 1.1 s

\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j

now the direction of the velocity is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})

\theta = -127.7 degree
