1 km/h = 0,277778 m/s

63 km/h = x

x= (63 × 0,277778)/ 1

x= 17.5

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.

stiks02 [169]

Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

$v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

$v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m$

A 500 N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area

Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. 10000N

Explanation:

When a force ( $F_1$ ) is exerted on the smaller area piston ( $A_1$ ), the pressure that originates therein is transmitted to the larger area piston( $A_2$ ). According to Pascal's principle the pressure on the smallest piston ( $P_1=\frac{F_1}{A_1}$ ) will be equal to the pressure on the largest piston ( $P_2=\frac{F_2}{A_2}$ ):

$\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\F_2=F_1\frac{A_2}{A_1}\\F_2=500N\frac{40cm}{2cm}\\F_2=10000N$
