Answer:

0.90m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed = 6miles/hr

Final speed = 12miles/hr

Time taken = 3 seconds

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It is mathematically given as:

Acceleration = $\frac{Final speed - Initial speed}{Time}$

We need to convert miles/hr to meters/seconds

Initial speed = 6 x $\frac{miles }{hour}$ x $\frac{1hr}{3600s}$ x $\frac{1609.34m}{1mile}$

= 2.68m/s

Final speed = 12 x $\frac{1609.34}{3600}$ = 5.37m/s

Acceleration = $\frac{5.37 - 2.68}{3}$ = 0.90m/s²

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = $-\frac{GMm}{R}$

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - $\frac{GMm}{R}$

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = $-\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2$

But $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }$

Therefore: $E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2= -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R} = -\frac{GMm}{10R}$

W = E - PE

$W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}$

A cylinder 0.170 m in diameter rotates in a lathe at 530 rpm . what is the tangential speed of the surface of the cylinder?

Ad libitum [116K]

Diameter = 0.170 meter
Circumference = 0.170 π meters

530 rpm = 530 circumferences / minute

   = (530 x 0.170 π meters) / minute

   =    283.06 meter.minute

   =    4.72 meters/second

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to

irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d

Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

$\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}$

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.
