Turner's treadmill runs with a velocity of -1.3 m/s and speeds up at regular intervals during a half-hour workout. after 25 min,

the treadmill has a velocity of -6.5 m/s. what is the average acceleration of the treadmill during this period ?

Answer:

The average acceleration of the treadmill during this period is 0.00346 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the treadmill, u = 1.3 m/s

After 25 minutes, the treadmill has a velocity of 6.5 m/s

Final velocity of the treadmill, v = 6.5 m/s

Time taken, t = 25 minutes = 1500 seconds

We need to find the average acceleration of the treadmill during this period. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{6.5\ m/s-1.3\ m/s}{1500\ s}$

$a=0.00346\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration of the treadmill during this period is 0.00346 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

Given : Initial velocity = -1.3 m/s

Final Velocity = -6.5 m/s.

Time = 25 minutes.

To find : Average acceleration.

Solution: We are given units in meter/second (m/s).

So, we need to convert time 25 minutes in seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

25 minutes = 60*25 = 1500 seconds.

Formula for average acceleration is given by,

$\frac{Final \ velocity -Initial \ velocity}{Final \ time - Initial \ time }$

We are not given intial time, so we can take initial time =0.

Plugging values in the above formula.

$Average \ acceleration = \frac{-6.5 -(-1.3)}{1500-0}$

= $\frac{-5.2}{1500}$

= -0.003467

or $Average \ acceleration = -3.467 \times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2.$ .

In which situation can you be at rest and moving at then same time

anyanavicka [17]

If you are stationary, but in/on a moving vehicle/object you can be at rest and moving at then same time.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A particle, when viewed from a given frame of reference, cannot be both at rest and in motion. However, in one frame of reference, a particle can be in motion whereas in another frame of reference the particle is in motion.

For example, if you are seated in a plane, the plane is stationary in that reference frame and the Earth moves under it, but in the reference frame of the Earth, the plane is moving concerning the Earth. When you are standing still on Earth, in your frame of reference, the Earth is stationary, and the Sun and stars move around the Earth.

However, in the frame of reference of the center of our solar system, the Earth orbits the Sun and the Sun are perturb slightly by the rest of the planets, but the rest of the galaxy orbits our solar system. Of course, in rest from our Galaxy, our solar system orbits a giant black hole at its center.

The outer surface of a spacecraft in space has an emissivity of 0.44 and a solar absorptivity of 0.3. If solar radiation is inci

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$T=326.928K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Emissivity $e=0.44$

Absorptivity $\alpha =0.3$

Rate of solar Radiation $R=0.3$

Generally the equation for Surface absorbed energy is mathematically given by

$E=\alpha R$

$E=0.3*950$

$E=285W/m^2$

Generally the equation for Emitted Radiation is mathematically given by

$\mu=e(\sigmaT^4)$

Where

T=Temperature

$\sigma=5.67*10^8Wm^{-2}K_{-4}$

Therefore

$\alpha*E=e \sigma T^4$

$0.3*(950)=0.44(5.67*10^-8)T^4$

$T=326.928K$

So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

A)

Solution:

For this to find, we need to calculate the centripetal acceleration on the equator.

The centripetal acceleration of the equator:

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ RcosФ/ $T^{2}$ ,

where,

R is the radius of the earth

R = 6378 KM = 6.3 x $10^{6}$ and

T is the time period

T = 24 h = 86164.1 s

At Equator, Ф = 0°

So, CosФ = 1

Hence,

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ R/ $T^{2}$

By plugging in the values, we get:

a = 4 x ( $3.14^{2}$ ) x (6.3 x $10^{6}$ ) / $86164.1^{2}$

a = 0.03 m/ $s^{2}$

Hence, this is the centripetal acceleration on the equator. And we also know that, acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ which is very higher than the centripetal acceleration on the equator.

B) Normal force exerted by chair will always be equal and opposite to the mass times gravitational acceleration (F = mg). Otherwise, I would be thrown away from chair in case the normal force is not equal and opposite or I would be drag down to the earth due to greater mass times gravitational acceleration. Hence, both are equal and opposite.

C) Of course, this is not a lie, it is true because the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ and as we calculated the acceleration on the equator is 0.03 m/ $s^{2}$ which way too low to experience.

For percentage difference,

9.8 - 0.03 = 9.77

So, % diff = (9.8 - 9.77)/9.8 x 100

% diff = 0.00306 x 100

% diff = 0.306%

Obviously, this is way too low to experience.

D) With the help of same formula as discussed above, we have:

a = 4 $\pi ^{2}$ RcosФ/ $T^{2}$ ,

Here, Ф = 44.4°

Just putting the values. we get

a = 0.0241 m/ $s^{2}$

Acceleration while sitting in my chair.
