During a race, four competitors of the same weight rode identical bicycles for 10 minutes. At 8 minutes, which bicycle was movin

Sophie [7]3 years ago

Answer:

All the competitors will move with the same velocity.

Explanation:

Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 5.7 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Bad White [126]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground  = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin  = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

             V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

               V  = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

               V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

A train's mass is 500 kg and it's acceleration is 5 m/s. What is the net force on the train
trapecia [35]
The answer is 2500 newtons. F = M * A, so 500 kg x 5 m/s = 2500 newtons.

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the body is 0.04kg

M=0.04kg

The radius of the paths is 0.6m

r=0.6m

The normal force exerted at A is 3.9N

Fa=3.9N

The normal force exerted at B is 0.69N

Fb=0.69N

Then work done by friction from point A to B will be the change in K.E

W=∆K.E+P.E

So we need to know the velocity at both point A and B

Then since the centripetal force is given as

Ft=mv²/r

Then,

For point A

Fa=mv²/r

3.9=0.04v²/0.6

3.9=0.0667v²

v²=3.9/0.0667

v²=58.5

v=√58.5

v=7.65m/s

Va=7.65m/s

Now at point B

Fb=mv²/r

0.69=0.04v²/0.6

0.69=0.0667v²

v²=0.69/0.0667

v²=10.35

v=√10.35

v=3.22m/s

Vb=3.22m/s

Then, the work done is

W=∆K.E+P.E

P.E is given as mgh

The height will be 2R =1.2m

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.04×9.81×1.2

P.E=0.471J

Final kinetic energy at B minus initial kinetic energy at A

W=K.Eb-K.Ea

K.E is given as 1/2mv²

W=1/2m(Vb²-Va²) +P.E

W=0.5×0.04(3.22²-7.65²) +0.471

W=0.5×0.04×(-48.1541) +0.471

W=-0.96+0.471

W=-0.49J

work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B is 0.49J.

Friction opposes motions and that is why the work done is negative

A 0.3 g mosquito is flying toward a girl with a speed of 4.5 mph. Just before landing on the girl, the fly is swatted straight b
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1.1x10^-2N

Explanation:

We have the change in momentum as

P = 0.3(4.5+12)g.mph

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3

Then the force that is exerted will be

F = p/∆t

∆t = 0.2

= 0.3x0.447x(4.5+12)x10^-3/0.2

= 0.1341x16.5x10^-3/0.2

= 1.1x10^-2

Therefore the force that was exerted is equal to 1.1x10^-2
