In 1990, Dave Campos of the United States rode a special motorcycle called the Easyrider at an average speed of 518 km/h. Suppos
maks197457 [2]

The distance travelled during the given time can be found out by using the equations of motion.

The distance traveled during the time interval is "13810.8 m".

First, we will find the deceleration of the motorcycle by using the first <em>equation of motion</em>:

v_f=v_it+at\\\\

where,

vi = initial velocity = (518 km/h)(\frac{1\ h}{3600\ s})(\frac{1000\ m}{1\ km}) = 143.89 m/s

vf = final veocity = 60 % of 143.89 m/s = (0.6)(143.89 m/s) = 86.33 m/s

a = deceleration = ?

t =time interval = 2 min = 120 s

Therefore,

86.33\ m/s = 143.89\ m/s + a(120\ s)\\\\a = \frac{86.33\ m/s - 143.89\ m/s}{120\ s}

a = -0.48 m/s²

Now, we will use the second <em>equation of motion </em>to find out the distance traveled (s):

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s = (143.89\ m/s)(120\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.48\ m/s^2)(120\ s)^2\\\\s = 17266.8\ m - 3456\ m

<u>s = 13810.8 m = 13.81 km</u>

A. The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J. Find by
valina [46]

a. The spring is compressed  by  0.174 m.

b.  The vertical distance the dart travels from its position when the spring is compressed to its highest position is 9.6 m.

c. The horizontal velocity of the dart at that time is  13.74 m/s.

d. The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground is 19.236 m.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The energy by virtue of its position is called the potential energy.

a. Given is the potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 62.00 N/m, is 0.940 J.

PE  of spring = 1/2 kx²

Put the values, we get

P.E = 0.940 = 1/2 x 62 x²

x = 0.174 m

Thus, the spring is compressed by 0.174 m.

b. Given is a 0.010 kg dart is fired straight up.

The vertical height is find out by

0.940 J = (0.010 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 9.6 m

Thus, the vertical distance the dart travels from its position is 9.6 m

c. From the conservation of energy principle, total mechanical energy is conserved.

1/2 mv² =mgh

v = √2gh

Plug the values, we get

v = √2 x 9.8x 9.6

v = 13.74 m/s

Thus, the horizontal velocity is  13.74 m/s.

d.  Time that dart spends in air, t = √2h/g

t = √(2x9.6)/9.81

t = 1.4 s

The horizontal distance from the equilibrium position at which the dart hits the ground.

Horizontal distance = (Velocity on x direction) x time

Horizontal distance = 13.74 m/s x 1.4s

Horizontal distance = 19.236 m

Thus, the horizontal distance is 19.236 m.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg
