Answer:

2 and a half hours

Explanation:

Nancy rides her bike at 10 miles per hour. After the first hour, she would have ridden 10 miles. After the second hour, she would hvae ridden 20 miles. She needs to ride 5 more miles, which is half of her 10 miles that she rides every hour. Since it is half of her speed of miles per hour, it will take her another half an hour to ride the 5 miles. Added together, Nancy takes 2 and a half hours.

A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

Lelechka [254]

Answer:1.902 m

Explanation:

Given

height of apartment=1.5 m

It takes 0.21 sec to reach the bottom from apartment

$s=u_1t+\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$1.5=u_1\times 0.21+\frac{9.81\times 0.21^2}{2}$

$u_1=6.11 m/s$

i.e. if ball is dropped from top its velocity at window is 6.11 m/s

So height of upper floor above window

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where s= height of upper floor above window

here u=0

$6.11^2=2\times 9.81\times s$

$s=\frac{6.11^2}{2\times 9.81}$

s=1.902 m

Bryan Allen pedaled a human-powered aircraft across the English Channel from the cliffs of Dover to Cap Gris-Nez on June 12, 197

Leno4ka [110]

(a) 3.58 km 45° south of east

The total displacement is given by:

$d=vt$

where

v is the average velocity

t is the time

The average velocity is:

v = 3.53 m/s

While we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds:

$t=169 min \cdot 60 s/min = 10140 s$

Therefore, the magnitude of the displacement is

$d=(3.53)(10140)=35794 m = 3.58 km$

And the direction is the same as the velocity, therefore 45° south of east.

(b) 5.53 m/s 90° south of east

The velocity of the air relative to the ground is

$v_a = 2.00 m/s$

and the direction is exactly opposite to that of Allen, so it is 45° north of west. Allen's velocity relative to the ground is

v = 3.53 m/s

So this must be the resultant of Allen's velocity relative to the air (v') and the air's speed ( $v_a$ ). Since these two vectors are in opposite direction, we have

$v= v'-v_a$

Therefore we find v', Allen's velocity relative to the air:

$v'=v+v_a = 3.53 + 2.00 = 5.53 m/s$

The direction must be measured relative to the air's reference frame. In this reference frame, Allen is moving exactly backward, so his direction will be 90° south of east.

(c) 56.1 km at 90° south of east.

Since Allen's velocity relative to the air is

v' = 5.53 m/s

Then the displacement of Allen relative to the air will be given by

$d'=v't$

and substituting,

$d'=(5.53)(10140)=56074 m = 56.1 km$

And the direction is the same as that of the velocity, therefore will be 90° south of east.

A block of mass m is pushed a horizontal distance D from position A to position B, along a horizontal plane with friction coeffi

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The total work done by friction is -2 · μ · m · g · D

Explanation:

Hi there!

The work done by a force is calculated as follows:

W = F · d · cos θ

Where:

W = work.

F = force that does the work.

d = displacement.

θ = angle between the displacement and the force.

If the force is horizontal, as in this case, cos θ = 1

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Ffr = μ · m · g

Where:

μ = friction coefficient.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Then, in this case, the work done by friction when pushing the block from A to B will be:

W AB = -Ffr · D

W AB = - μ · m · g · D

Notice that the friction force is negative because it is opposite to the pushing force P.

When the block is pushed from B to A, the work done by friction will be:

W BA = Ffr · (-D)

W BA = -μ · m · g · D

Now, the displacement is negative and the friction force is positive (in the opposite direction to -P).

The total work done by friction will be:

W AB + W BA = - μ · m · g · D - μ · m · g · D = -2 μ · m · g · D

PLEASE HELP ME 45 POINTS

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see the explanation and the image attached below.

b) The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) At first we assume that pulley and cord are both ideal, that is, masses are negligible and include the free body diagrams of each mass and the pulley in the image attached below.

b) Both masses are connected to each other by the same cord, the direction of acceleration will be dominated by the mass of greater mass (mass A) and both masses have the same magnitude of acceleration. By the 2nd Newton's Law, we create the following equation of equilibrium:

Mass A

$\Sigma F = T - m_{A}\cdot g = -m_{A}\cdot a$ (1)

Mass B

$\Sigma F = T - m_{B}\cdot g = m_{B}\cdot a$ (2)

Where:

$T$ - Tension force in the cord, measured in newtons.

$m_{A}$ , $m_{B}$ - Masses of blocks A and B, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a$ - Net acceleration of the each block, measured in meters per square second.

By subtracting (2) by (1), we get an expression for the acceleration of each mass:

$m_{B}\cdot a +m_{A}\cdot a = T-m_{B}\cdot g -T + m_{A}\cdot g$

$(m_{B}+m_{A})\cdot a = (m_{A}-m_{B})\cdot g$

$a = \frac{m_{A}-m_{B}}{m_{B}+m_{A}} \cdot g$

If we know that $m_{A} = 5\,kg$ , $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the acceleration of the masses is:

$a = \left(\frac{5\,kg-2\,kg}{5\,kg+2\,kg}\right) \cdot\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) From (2) we get the following expression for the tension force in the cord:

$T = m_{B}\cdot (a+g)$

If we know that $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the tension force in the cord:

$T = (2\,kg)\cdot \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$T = 28.02\,N$

The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) Given that system starts from rest and net acceleration is constant, we determine the time taken by the block to cover a distance of 1.5 meters through the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (3)
