The equal and opposite reaction to the gravitational force of the Earth pulling down on a man standing on the beach is the gravitational force of the man pulling up on the Earth. <em>(A)</em>

To put it in other words ... which should begin to blow your mind if you just take a moment to think about them ...

Your weight on Earth is exactly equal to the Earth's weight on YOU.

During the time a compact disc (CD) accelerates from rest to a constant rotational speed of 477 rev/min, it rotates through an a
atroni [7]

Answer:

<em>126.01 rad/s^2</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

since it starts from rest, initial angular speed ω' = 0 rad/s

angular speed N = 477 rev/min

angular speed in rad/s ω = \frac{2\pi N}{60} =  \frac{2*3.142* 477}{60} = 49.95 rad/s

angular displacement ∅ = 1.5758 rev

angular displacement in rad/s = 2\pi N = 2 x 3.142 x 1.5758 = 9.9 rad

angular acceleration \alpha = ?

using the equation of angular motion

ω^2 = ω'^2 + 2\alpha∅

imputing values, we have

49.95^{2}  = 0^{2}  + (2 *\alpha*9.9 )

2495 = 19.8\alpha

\alpha = 2495/19.8 = <em>126.01 rad/s^2</em>

Determine el valor del ángulo de tiro de un proyectil que tarda en impactar en 8s y que tuvo un alcance de 0,3km.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

46.3^{\circ}

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction (constant velocity)

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction (constant acceleration)

The time of flight of a projectile is given by

t=\frac{2u_y}{g}

where

u_y is the initial vertical velocity

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Here the time of flight is

t = 8 s

So, the initial vertical velocity is:

u_y=\frac{gt}{2}=\frac{(9.8)(8)}{2}=39.2 m/s

At the same time, the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is given by

d=u_x t

where

u_x is the horizontal velocity, which is constant

t is the time of flight

Here we know that the range of the projectile is 0.3 km, so

d = 0.3 km = 300 m

So the horizontal velocity is

u_x=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{300}{8}=37.5 m/s

Therefore, we can find the angle of projection of the projectile by using:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{u_y}{u_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{39.2}{37.5})=46.3^{\circ}

A 1250kg car driving 1200km to Florida in 19.5 hours gets a speeding ticket for traveling 120km/h in Turbeville South Carolina.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

v = 61.54 km/h

Explanation:

The average speed of the car can be found by using the total distance covered by the car and the total time taken for that distance to be traveled. Therefore, the average speed of the car can be found by the following formula:

v = \frac{d}{t}\\

where,

v = average speed during the trip = ?

d = total distance driven by the car = 1200 km

t = time taken for the traveling = 19.5 hr

Therefore,

v = \frac{1200\ km}{19.5\ hr}\\\\

<u>v = 61.54 km/h</u>
