A drag-racing car goes fro 0 to 300mph in 5 seconds. What is its average acceleration in g's?

1 answer:

8 0

I think that the short answer to this question is to convert 300mph into metres per second, and then divide by 5 to get the average acceleration. Since 1g is, I think, 9.81 m/s^2 (nearly 10), dividing by 9.81 should give the number of gs in the acceleration.1 mile is 1760 yards which is 1760x3 feet which is 1760x3x12 inches.300 miles would be 300x1760x3x12 inches.1 inch is 2.54 cm.300 miles would be 2.54x300x1760x3x12 cm.300 miles would be 2.54x300x1760x3x12/100 m.Then do the number of seconds in an hour.I hope this helps ...

A block weighing 400 kg rests on a horizontal surface and supports on top of it ,another block of weight 100 kg which is attache

Answer:

$F_a=1470\ N$

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

$\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0$

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

$\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]$

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

$\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0$

The friction forces are computed by

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g$

$\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)$

Plugging in the values

$\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]$

$\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}$

Why polarization does not occur in dry cell?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Manganese oxide prevents polarisation in dry cells. - Polarization is a defect that occurs in simple electric cells due to the accumulation of hydrogen gas around the positive electrode. ... - MnO2 reacts with H2 and forms water as byproduct, so depolarization doesn't occur.

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

A spherical ball is dropped through a liquid, explain why it reaches terminal velocity.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Probably because of the drag coefficient and the density of the liquid.
