Answer:

Explanation:

1 mile=5280 ft

1 hour=3600 seconds

Changing speed from mi/h to ft/s

97 mi/h \times \frac {5280}{3600}=142.2666667 ft/s\approx 142.27 ft/s

Time of flight, t=\frac {distance}{speed}=\frac {60.5}{142.27}=0.425257732 s\approx 0.425 s

From fundamental kinematics equations

h=0.5gt^{2} where g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 32.2 ft/s2 and h is the distance

By substitution

h=0.5\times 32.2\times 0.425^{2}=2.9080625 m\approx 2.91 m

1. A block is pulled to the right at constant velocity by a 20N force acting at 30o above the horizontal. If the coefficient of
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

44.6 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are four forces on the block:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force F pulling right 30° above horizontal.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + F sin 30° − mg = 0

N = mg − F sin 30°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° − Nμ = 0

F cos 30° = Nμ

N = F cos 30° / μ

Substitute:

mg − F sin 30° = F cos 30° / μ

mg = F sin 30° + (F cos 30° / μ)

Plug in values:

mg = 20 N sin 30° + (20 N cos 30° / 0.5)

mg = 44.6 N

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.

What is the separation distance, in meters, between masses m1 = 15 x 107 kg and m2 = 62 x 107 kg when the gravitational force be
nalin [4]

Answer:

94.1 m

Explanation:

From Coulombs law,

F  = Gm1m2/r²................... Equation 1

where F = force, m1 = first mass, m2 = second mass, G = universal constant, r = distance of separation.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(Gm1m2/F)................. Equation 2

Given: F = 7×10² N, m1 = 15×10⁷ kg, m2 = 62×10⁷ kg,

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute into equation 2

r = √( 6.67×10⁻¹¹×15×10⁷×62×10⁷/7×10²)

r √(886.16×10)

r √(88.616×10²)

r = 9.41×10

r = 94.1 m.

Hence the distance of separation = 94.1 m
