Answer:

F = 1280 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration experienced by a space shuttle, a = 32 m/s²

Mass of the astronauts, m = 40 kg

We need to find the force experienced by the astronaut.

We know that the net force is equal to the product of acceleration and its mass. So,

F = ma

F = 40 kg × 32 m/s²

So,

F = 1280 N

So, 1280 N of force is experienced by the Astronaut.

You and your friend are going bungee jumping! You wait directly below them with a camera. When they leap from the bridge they be

Alex

Answer:

The amplitude is $A = 90.2 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of when sound is approaching observer is $f = 392 Hz$

The frequency as the move away from observer is $f_ a = 330 \ Hz$

The time between the pitch are $t = 10 \ s$

Here you are the observer and your friends are the source of the sound

The period is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 2 t$

as it is the time to complete one oscillation which from on highest pitch to the next highest pitch

Now T can also be mathematically represented as

$T = \frac{2 \pi}{w}$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity

=> $\frac{2 \pi}{w} = 2 * 10$

=> $w = 0.314 \ rad/sec$

Now using Doppler Effect,

The source of the sound is approaching the observer

The

$f = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )$

$392 = f_o (\frac{v}{v- wA} )$

Where A is the amplitude

So when the source is moving away from the observer

$f_a = f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )$

$330 = f_o (\frac{v}{v+ wA} )$

Here $f_o$ is the fundamental frequency

Dividing the both equation we have

$\frac{392}{330} = \frac{f_o(\frac{v}{v-wA} )}{f_o(\frac{v}{v+wA}}$

$1.1878 = \frac{v+wA}{v-wA}$

$1.1878 v - 1.1878 wA = v+wA$

$1.1878 v = 2.1878 wA$

=> $A = \frac{(0.1878 * (330))}{(2.1878)* (0.314)}$

$A = 90.2 \ m$

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force

salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

$KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J$

Energy lost due to friction

$W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J$

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052$

v = 1.40 m/sec

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

= 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

= 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

V = d / t

= 2500 / 540

= 4.63 m/s

At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

V = (4.63 + 18)/2

= 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s
