Answer:

Distance = 25000000 miles

Time = 50 hours

Explanation:

Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is about 25 million miles away from Earth. Its precise distance depends on where both Venus and Earth are in their respective orbits

Given that

Speed V = 500000 mph

Distance d = 25 000,000 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Time = distance/speed

Time = 25000000/500000

Time = 50 hours

It will therefore take 50 hours to get to venus at that speed.

An observer sitting on shore sees a canoe traveling 5.0 m/s east, and a sailboat traveling 15.0 m/s west. What is the velocity o
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Vs/c = 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem of relative velocities, as velocity is a vector we can use addition or subtraction of vectors for the solution.

We are asked for the velocity of the sailboat with respect to an observer located in the canoe.

V_{s/c}=V_{sailboat}-V_{canoe}\\V_{s/c}=15-(-5)\\V_{s/c}=20[m/s]

Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

An object that is 3 times higher than another object of the same mass will
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: I feel that 3 is the answer

Explanation: Let there be 2 objects, A and B

A is at height of 5m whereas B is at height of 15m

so over here let the gravitational potential energy of A be x

and since B is 3 times higher than A B=3x

Since, earth is considered to be the point where gravitational potenial is 0

So hence forth and object 3 times up will have 3 times the gravitational potential energy of A

A hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than
Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation:  Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F  =  m*a

∑ Fx  =  m* a(x)             ∑ Fy  =  m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

  μ  = 0.2 = F(r)/N            siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg  =  20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P =  196 [N]    en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py  =  P* cos30  =  196* √3/2  =  98*√3

Px  = P* sen30   =  196*1/2  =  98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y)  =  m*a         Py  - N  = 0          98*√3  = N       ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x)  = m*a    P(x)  -  Fr  =  m*a

Fr  =   μ *N  =  0.2* 98*√3

Fr  =  19.6*√3  [N]

98 -  19.6*√3  =  m*a

98  -  33.52  = m*a

a =  (98  -  33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v²  =  v₀²  +  2*a*d             ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación  v  y  v₀    vienen dados en m/seg  entonces  v²  y  v₀²  vienen en m²/seg²,  el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg²  entonces es consistente la relación

v²   =  0   +  2*3.22*80       ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v²  = 515.2  m²/seg²

v  =  √515.2  m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg
