Answer:

distance between school and home is 21 miles

Explanation:

given data

in rush hour speed s1 = 28 mph

less traffic speed s2 = 42 mph

time t = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hr

to find out

distance d

solution

we consider here distance home to school is d and t1 time to reach at school

we get here distance equation when we go home to school that is

distance = 28 × t1 .......................1

and when we go school to home distance will be

distance = 42 × ( t - t1 )

distance = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 ) ...................2

so from equation 1 and 2

28 × t1 = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 )

t1 = 0.75

so

from equation 1

distance = 28 × t1

distance = 28 × 0.75

distance = 21 miles

A swimming pool is 50 ft wide and 100 ft long and its bottom is an inclined plane, the shallow end having a depth of 4 ft and th

Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.

F = ma

It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.

Given Data:

Width of the pool = w = 50 ft

length of the pool = l= 100 ft

Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft

Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.

weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft

Solution:

a) Force on a shallow end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(4)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F = 25000 lb$

b) Force on deep end:

$F = \frac{pgwh}{2} (2x_{1}+h)$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(50)(10)}{2} (2(0)+10)$

$F = 187500 lb$

c) Force on one of the sides:

As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.

1) Force on the Rectangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{2}(2(x_{1} )+ h)$

$x_{1} = 0\\h_{s} = 4ft$

$F = \frac{(62.5)(100)(2)}{2}(2(0)+4)$

$F =25000lb$

2) Force on the triangular part:

$F = \frac{pg(l.h)}{6} (3x_{1} +2h)$

here

h = h(d) - h(s)

h = 10-4

h = 6ft

$x_{1} = 4ft\\$

$F = \frac{62.5 (100)(6)}{6} (3(4)+2(6))$

$F = 150000 lb$

now add both of these forces,

F = 25000lb + 150000lb

F = 175000lb

d) Force on the bottom:

$F = \frac{pgw\sqrt{l^{2} + ((h_{d}) - h(s)) } (h_{d}+h_{s}) }{2}$

$F = \frac{62.5(50)\sqrt{100^{2}(10-4) } (10+4) }{2}$

$F = 2187937.5 lb$

When an automobile moves with constant velocity, the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the ai

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The total frictional force is 358.0 newtons

Explanation:

Power is the amount of average work (W) an object does on a period of time (Δt):

$P=\frac{W}{\Delta t}$

Remember average work is average force (F) times displacement (Δs):

$P=\frac{F \Delta s}{\Delta t}$

but displacement over time is average speed $v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}$ , then:

$P=Fv$ (1)

That is, the power of the car is the force the engine does times the speed of the car. As the question states, if the car is at constant velocity then the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the air and the road, that is by Newton's first law, the force the motor of the car does is equal the force of frictional forces. So, to find the frictional forces we only have to solve (1) for F:

$F=\frac{P}{v}$

Knowing that 1hp is 746W then 30hp=22380W and 1 mile = 1609m then 140 mph = 225308 $\frac{m}{h}$ = $62.5 \frac{m}{s}$ , then:

$F=\frac{22380}{62.5}=358.0 N$

A ball thrown horizontally from a point 30.0 m above the ground strikes the ground after travelling a horizontal distance of 18.

AURORKA [14]

The components of the ball's position $r$ at time $t$ are

$\begin{cases}r_x(t)=v_{0x}t\\v_y(t)=30.0-4.9t^2\end{cases}$

The ball stops 18.0 m from where it began, so that

$\begin{cases}18.0=v_{0x}t\\0=30.0-4.9t^2\end{cases}$

From the second equation, we can show that the ball travels for about $t=2.47$ seconds, which means it was initially thrown with a horizontal velocity of

$18.0\,\mathrm m=v_{0x}(2.47\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{0x}=7.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$
