A rocket-driven sled running on a straight level track is used to investigate the physiological effects of large accelerations o

n humans. One such sled can attain a speed of 1000 rniles/hr in 1.8 sec starting from rest. (1 mile = 5280 ft) a. Assume the acceleration is constant and compare it to g. (g=9.8 m/s2 = 32 ft/ s2) b. What is the distance traveled in this time?

Answer:

A. a = 814.815 ft/s^2.

B. Distance, S = 320 ft.

Explanation:

Equations of motion

i. vf = vi + a*t

ii. S = vi*t + 1/2*(a*t)

iii. vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*S

Given:

vi = 0 ft/s

vf = 1000 miles/hr

t = 1.8 s

g = 32 ft/ s2

Converting miles/hr to ft/s,

1 mile = 5280 ft

Also, 1 hr = 60 mins * 60s

= 3600 s

Therefore, 1000 miles/hr * 5280 ft/1 mile * 1 hr/3600 s

= 1466.7 ft/s.

A.

Using the i. Equation of motion,

1466.7 = 0 + a*1.8

a = 814.815 ft/s^2

Comparing a to g,

a = (814.815/32) * g

= 25.46 g

B.

Using the ii. Equation of motion,

S = 1/2 * (814.815) * (1.8)^2

= 1320 ft.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

If the moon is a full moon tonight what will be the moon one week later waxing or waning
tatiyna

-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.

-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.

-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.
 
-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks.  So it's
definitely <em>waning</em> at <em><u>one week</u></em> after Full.
