A person is pushing a box.The net external force on the 60-kg box is stated to be 90 N. If the force of friction opposing the mo

tion is 30 N, what is the acceleration of the box?

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the person = 60 Kg

Net External force exerted = 90 N

force of friction opposing the motion = 30 N

acceleration of the box = ?

Net force = External force applied - frictional force

Net force = 90 - 30

net force = 60 N

we know

F = mass x acceleration

60 = 60 x a

a = 1 m/s²

acceleration of the box is equal to a = 1 m/s²

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes

Alchen [17]

<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=54.5m/s$ is the projectile's initial speed

$\theta=35\°$ is the angle

$t=2.80s$ is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

$x$ is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)

$y$ is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

$x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)$ (3)

$x=125m$ (4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

$y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$y=48.308m$ (6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile

Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00x10^6 m. One satellite has mass 53.0 kg , orbital radi

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital radius of first satellite $r_{1}= 8.20\times10^{7}$

Orbital radius of second satellite $r_{2}=7.00\times10^{7}\ m$

Mass of first satellite $m_{1}=53.0\ kg$

Mass of second satellite $m_{2}=54.0\ kg$

Orbital speed of first satellite = 4800 m/s

We need to calculate the orbital speed of this second satellite

Using formula of orbital speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

From this relation,

$v_{1}\propto\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$

Now, $\dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}}$

$v_{2}=v_{1}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{2}=4800\times\sqrt{\dfrac{ 8.20\times10^{7}}{7.00\times10^{7}}}$

$v_{2}=5195.16\ m/s$

Hence, The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

A helicopter blade spins at exactly 110 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 4.50 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate th

NeX [460]

Answer:

(a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 110 rev/m

Radius = 4.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the average speed

Using formula of average speed

$v=r\omega$

$v = 4.50\times110\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$v=51.83\ m/s$

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement is zero in one revolution.

Hence, (a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.
