Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

$v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s$

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.

A farm tractor tows a 3300-kg trailer up a 14" incline with a steady speed of 2.8 m/s. what force does the tractor exert on the

gladu [14]

The force exerted by gravity is:

F = m g

F = 3300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

F = 32,430 N

The force exerted due to the inclined plane is:

F tractor = 32,430 N * sin 14

What impulse occurs when an average force of 7.0 N is exerted on a cart for 2.5 s ?

makkiz [27]

Answer: $1.7\times 10$

Explanation:

Given

Force $F=7 N$

time interval $t=2.5 s$

Impulse is given by $=Force \times time\ interval\ for\ applied\ force$

$Impulse=7\times 2.5=17.5$

For two significant Figure

$Impulse=1.7\times 10$

At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spacesh

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The time needed is $T = 16.8 s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the stimulated acceleration due gravity is $a = 0.5 g$

The diameter of the spaceship is $d = 35m$

Generally the force acting on the spaceship is

$F = ma$

Given that the spaceship is rotating it implies that the force experienced by the occupant is a centripetal force so

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Thus

$ma = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

=> $\frac{v^2}{r} = a$

Generally the speed of this spaceship is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

=> $v^2 = [\frac{2\pi}{T}] ^2$

=> $\frac{\frac{4\pi^2 r^2}{T^2} }{r} = 0.5g$

=> $\frac{4 \pi^2 r }{T^2} = 0.5 g$

=> $T = \sqrt{ \frac{4\pi^2 r}{0.5g}}$

substituting values

$T = \sqrt{ \frac{4* (3.142)^2 *(35)}{0.5 * 9.8}}$

$T = 16.8 s$

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

s = 23.72 m

v = 21.56 m/s²

Explanation:

given

time to reach the ground (t) = 2.2 second

we know that

a) s = u t + 0.5 g t²

u = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

s = 0 + 0.5 × 9.8 × 2.2²

s = 23.72 m

b) impact velocity

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2× 9.8 × 23.72)

v = √464.912

v = 21.56 m/s²
