How long must a tow truck apply a force of 600 N to increase the speed of a 1,500 kg car at rest to 2 m/s?
slega [8]

The time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>applied force, F = 600 N</em>
  • <em>mass of the truck, m = 1,500 kg</em>
  • <em>speed of the truck, v = 2 m/s</em>

The force applied to the truck is determined by Newton's second law of motion; <em>which states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.</em>

F = ma

F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\t = \frac{mv}{F} \\\\t = \frac{1500 \times 2}{600} \\\\t = 5 \ s

Thus, the time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.

You are listening to the radio when one of your favorite songs comes on, so you turn up the volume. If you managed to increase t
andrew-mc [135]

To solve this problem we need to apply the corresponding sound intensity measured from the logarithmic scale. Since in the range of intensities that the human ear can detect without pain there are large differences in the number of figures used on a linear scale, it is usual to use a logarithmic scale. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel yes described as

\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

Where,

I = Acoustic intensity in linear scale

I_0 = Hearing threshold

The value in decibels is 17dB, then

17dB = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

Using properties of logarithms we have,

\frac{17}{10} = log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0} = 1.7

\frac{I}{I_0} = 10^{1.7}

\frac{I}{I_0} = 50.12 W/m^2

Therefore the factor that the intensity of the sound was 50.12W/m^2

If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?
Zielflug [23.3K]
The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
g=9.81 m/s^2

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
y(t) =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
y(t)=  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m
