loris [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

inysia [295]
You can start this by setting up two vectors starting at the origin.

Vector 1 has coordinates of (-57,0) since in the east direction.
Vector 2 has coordinates of (0,13) because going north.

Starting from the origin, plot the two points, which will give you two sides of a triangle.
You can use pythagorean theorem to solve for the magnitude of the velocity. And you can find the angle by arctan(y/x)
Pythagorean would produce 58.46m/s

What is true about the velocity of sound waves in solids compared to air?
ivolga24 [154]
<h2>The correct option is (A)</h2>

Explanation:

Travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

The reason for the above statement is -

(i) Sound waves travel through the medium (solid, Liquid, and gas), more denser is the medium more is the speed of sound.

(ii) In solid, the particles are arranged very closely and tightly packed therefore the sound waves in solid have the fastest speed or travels fastest in comparison to liquid and gas.

(iii) Slower than solid is the travel of sound waves in liquid than in gas(least dense, particles are far apart.

The fastest time ever run at Pikes Peak is 7:57. That’s way too long. If we removed all the curves, making a straight line from
anygoal [31]

Answer: 271.4 s

Explanation:

We are told the top speed (maximum speed) V_{max} the car has is:

V_{max}=203 mph=90.74 m/s taking into account 1 mile=1609.34 m

And the car's average acceleration a_{ave} is:

a_{ave}=0.091 g=2.93 ft/s^{2}=0.89 m/s^{2}

Since:

a_{ave}=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{\Delta t} (1)

Where:

V_{f}=V_{max}=90.74 m/s is the car's final speed (top speed)

V_{o}=0 m/s because it starts from rest

\Delta t is the time it takes to reach the top speed

Finding this time:

\Delta t=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{a_{ave}} (2)

\Delta t=\frac{90.74 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.89 m/s^{2}} (3)

\Delta t=t_{1}=101.95 s (4)

Now we have to find the distance d the car traveled at this maximum speed with the following equation:

V_{f}^{2}=V_{o}^{2} + 2a_{ave} d (5)

Isolating d:

d=\frac{V_{f}^{2}}{2a_{ave}} (6)

d=\frac{(90.74 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.89 m/s^{2})} (7)

d=4625.70 m (8)

On the other hand, we know the total distance D traveled by the car is:

D=12.42 miles = 19988.052 m

Hence the remaining distance is:

d_{remain}=D-d=19988.052 m - 4625.70 m (9)

d_{remain}=15362.35 m (10)

So, we can calculate the time t_{2} it took to this car to travel this remaining distance d_{remain} at its top speed V_{max}, with the following equation:

V_{max}=\frac{d_{remain}}{t_{2}} (11)

Isolating t_{2}:

t_{2}=\frac{d_{remain}}{V_{max}} (12)

t_{2}=\frac{15362.35 m}{90.74 m/s} (13)

t_{2}=169.45 s (14)

With this time t_{2} and the value of t_{1} calculated in (4) we can finally calculate the total time t_{TOTAL}:

t_{TOTAL}=t_{1}+ t_{2} (15)

t_{TOTAL}=101.95 s + 169.45 s (16)

t_{TOTAL}=271.4 s s

a loaded sack of total mass is 1000 gramme falls down from the floor of a lorry 200cm high, calculate the workdone by the gravit
Helen [10]

Answer:

W = 20 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a loaded sack, m = 1000 g = 1 kg

It falls down from the floor of a lorry 200 cm high, h = 2 m

We need to find the work done by the gravity. The work done by an object under the action of gravity is given by :

W = mgh

Substitute all the values,

W = 1 × 10 × 2

= 20 J

Hence, the required work done by gravity is equal to 20 J.
