We use the kinematic equations,

v=u+at                                          (A)

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

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given,  u=0, a=0.21 \ m/s^2 and s= 280 m.

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s.

Therefore from equation (A),

v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

How much would it cost to cover the entire land area of the U.S. in dollar bills?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  $900 trillion

Explanation:

If Alaska is 20% of the contiguous US, then the approximate area of interest is ...

  1200 miles × 3000 miles = 3.6×10^6 square miles.

The size of a dollar bill is about ...

  (6.5 cm)·(15.5 cm) = 100.75 cm^2

One mile is 160,934.4 cm, so 1 square mile is about ...

  1 mi^2 = (160,934.4 cm)^2 ≈ 2.59·10^10 cm^2

The number of dollars of interest is then ...

  (3.6 · 10^6 mi^2)(2.59 · 10^10 cm^2)/(100.75 cm^2) ≈ 9.3·10^14

  ≈ 930 × 10^12 . . . dollars

It would cost about 900 trillion dollars to cover the land area of the US in $1 bills.

A string under a tension of 68 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 3.7 m at a speed of 16.53 m/s. The str
alekssr [168]

Answer:

F = 5253.7 N

Explanation:

As we know that tension force in the string will be equal to the centripetal force on the string

so we will have

T = \frac{mv^2}{L}

now we have

68 = \frac{m(16.53^2)}{3.7}

now we have

68 = 73.8 m

m = 0.92 kg

now when string length is 0.896 m and its speed is 71.5 m/s then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

F = \frac{0.92(71.5^2)}{0.896}

F = 5253.7 N

Tom [10]
To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and
garri49 [273]

Answer:

(a) t = 1.14 s

(b) h = 0.82 m

(c) vf = 7.17 m/s

Explanation:

(b)

Considering the upward motion, we apply the third equation of motion:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (-ve sign for upward motion)

h = max height reached = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 4 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.8\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(4\ m/s)^2\\

<u>h = 0.82 m</u>

Now, for the time in air during upward motion we use first equation of motion:

v_f = v_i + gt_1\\0\ m/s = 4\ m/s + (-9.8\ m/s^2)t_1\\t_1 = 0.41\ s

(c)

Now we will consider the downward motion and use the third equation of motion:

2gh = v_f^2-v_i^2

where,

h = total height = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

vf = final speed = ?

Therefore,

2(9.8\ m/s^2)(2.62\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\

<u>vf = 7.17 m/s</u>

Now, for the time in air during downward motion we use the first equation of motion:

v_f = v_i + gt_1\\7.17\ m/s = 0\ m/s + (9.8\ m/s^2)t_2\\t_2 = 0.73\ s

(a)

Total Time of Flight = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 0.41 s + 0.73 s

<u>t = 1.14 s</u>
