Two bobsledders push a 232kg bobsled. The bobsled reaches an acceleration of 1.2x10^5 m/s^2. What is the force that the bobsledd

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (232 kg) x (1.2 x 10⁵ m/s²)

<em>Force = 27,840,000 Newtons</em>

<em></em>

<u>Notes</u>:

-- If they could reach this acceleration and keep it up for a little while, the sled would reach the speed of light in about 40 minutes.  Their team would get the gold medal for sure.

-- This acceleration is a little over 12,000 G's. The sled and the pushers will fall apart long before they reach it.

-- The force required (2.784 x 10⁷ Newtons) is the same as about 3 million pounds, or roughly 1,564 tons of force by EACH pusher.

-- If either of them isn't pushing exactly straight and horizontal, or if there's any air resistance, or if there's any friction between the sled runners and the snow, then they'll need MORE force to reach that acceleration.

Lotsa luck !

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf
kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy  

V0x = V0 cos(θ) 

V0y = V0 sin(θ) 

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2 

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant  

Vx = Vocos(θ) 

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t 

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t 

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

A close coiled helical spring of round steel wire 10 mm diameter having 10 complete turns with a mean radius of 60 mm is subject
kow [346]

Answer:

The deflection of the spring is 34.56 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 mm

Number of turns = 10

Radius_{mean} = 60\ mm

Diameter_{mean} = 120\ mm

Load = 200 N

We need to calculate the deflection

Using formula of deflection

\delta=\dfrac{8pD^3n}{Cd^4}

Put the value into the formula

\delta=\dfrac{8\times200\times(120)^3\times10}{80\times10^{3}\times10^4}

\delta =34.56\ mm

Hence, The deflection of the spring is 34.56 mm.

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. x=x_{0}+vt

2. x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\   16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at t=0 and:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\  0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at t=0 s (when the SUV passed the police car) and t=15.56s(when the police car catches up to the SUV)

Wolves are a keystone species because they are _____. at the top of the food chain are physically the largest animal in the food
enot [183]

Answer:

Wolves are a keystone species because they are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.

Explanation:

Wolves are the predators available in the environment but they exist in relatively less number while comparing it with another species of animals. Wolves influence their pray which are influenced by plants. Thus, They are so important to the ecosystem that their removal causes a catastrophic disequilibrium.
