Answer:

best close estimate distance is 315 miles

Explanation:

given data

speed v1 = 50 miles per hour

speed v2 = 60 miles  per hour

time t1 = 4 hr

time t2 = 7 hr

to find out

best estimate for the distance traveled

solution

we know lower end distance

distance = v1 × t1

distance = 50 × 4 = 200 miles

and

upper end distance

distance = v2 × t2

distance = 60 × 7 = 420 miles

so middle value distance is

v = 55 miles per hour and t = 5.5 hours

distance = v × t  

distance = 55 × 5.5

distance = 302.5 miles

so best close estimate distance is 315 miles

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s. How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

<h2>38,769.23 miles</h2>

Explanation:

given:

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s.

find:

How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?

solution:

distance = velocity over time

let velocity = 70 m/s

           time = 6.5 hrs.

convert velocity 70 m/s into m/h for consistency of units.

<u>70 mi. </u> x   <u>3600 sec.</u>  =  252,000 mi/hour

  sec.          1 hr.

now plugin values into the formula d = v/t

d = <u>252,000 miles/hour </u>

              6.5 hours

d = 38,769.23 miles

therefore, the distance travelled in 6.5 hours with a speed of 70 m/s is 38,769.23 miles

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w
myrzilka [38]
The centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, a_c = 15.625 m/s^2 and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle. It is initially not spinning
zubka84 [21]

The angular speed of the device is 1.03 rad/s.

<h3>What is the conservation of angular momentum?</h3>

A spinning system's ability to conserve angular momentum ensures that its spin will not change until it is subjected to an external torque; to put it another way, the rotation's speed will not change as long as the net torque is zero.

Using the conservation of angular momentum

L_{i}=L_{f}

Here,  = the system's angular momentum before the collision

L_{i} = 0 + mv

= (0.005)(450)(0.752)

= 1.692 kgm²/s

The moment of inertia of the system is given by

I = 2(M₁R₁² + M₂R₂²)+ mR₁²

= 2[(1.2)(0.8)² +(0.5)(0.3)²]+0.005(0.8)²

= 1.6292 kgm²

Here,  = Iω

So,

1.692 = 1.6292(ω)

ω = 1.03 rad/s

Two pianos each sound the same note simultaneously, but they are both out of tune. On a day when the speed of sound is 349 m/s,
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Time period between the successive beats will be 0.1703 sec

Explanation:

We have given speed of the sound v = 349 m/sec

Wavelength of piano A\lambda _A=0.766m

Wavelength of piano  B\lambda _B=0.776m

So frequency of piano A f_1=\frac{v}{\lambda _1}=\frac{349}{0.766}=455.61Hz

Frequency of piano B f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda _1}=\frac{349}{0.776}=449.74Hz

So beat frequency f = 455.61 - 449.74 = 5.87 Hz

So time period T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.87}=0.1703sec

So time period between the successive beats will be 0.1703 sec
