Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Time to make the trip = 494 sec

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) x (494 s)

Distance = 1,482 x 10⁸ meters

<em>Distance = 1.482 x 10¹¹ meters</em>

Distance = 1.482 x 10⁸ kilometers

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0$

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0$

$F_{rope}= 102.73\ N$

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

$F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135$

$F_{rope}= 112.19\ N$

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=

vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 , acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

a = - sin (t²/2) - (t-1) cos (t²/2) 2t / 2

a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1) cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

A 46.0-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.80 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 171 N. The force P is parall

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) 1504.8 J

b) 991.76 J

c) 0J

d) 0J

Explanation:

(a) The work done by the force P on the box is given by the following formula:

$W_P=Px$

P: applied force = 171N

x: distance in which the for P is applied = 8.80m

you replace the values of P and x and obtain:

$W_P=(171N)(8.80m)=1504.8J$

(b) The work don by the friction force is:

$W_f=F_fx=\mu N x=\mu Mg x$

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.250

M: mass of the box = 46.0kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

$W_f=(0.250)(46.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(8.80m)=991.76J$

$N=Mg=(46.0kg)(9,8m/s^2)=450.8N$

but this force does not do work on the box because the direction is perpendicular to the direction of the force P.

$W_N=0J$

(d) the same as before:

$W_g=0J$
