Answer:

$h=740\ in$

Explanation:

Given:

length of each pipe section, $l=15\ ft=180\ in$

length of each coupling, $c=4 \ in$

Now according to question we have six hoses which will require 5 couplings to join them.

So the total length of the hose:

$h=6\times l+5\times c$

$h=6\times 180+5\times 4$

$h=740\ in$ is the total length of the hose.

A proud new Jaguar owner drives her car at a speed of 25 m/s into a corner. The coefficients of friction between the road and th

ehidna [41]

Answer:

ac = 3.92 m/s²

Explanation:

In this case the frictional force must balance the centripetal force for the car not to skid. Therefore,

Frictional Force = Centripetal Force

where,

Frictional Force = μ(Normal Force) = μ(weight) = μmg

Centripetal Force = (m)(ac)

Therefore,

μmg = (m)(ac)

ac = μg

where,

ac = magnitude of centripetal acceleration of car = ?

μ = coefficient of friction of tires (kinetic) = 0.4

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

ac = (0.4)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>ac = 3.92 m/s²</u>

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him

juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal direction

$m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}$

$v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}$

$v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Given the following situation of marble in motion on rolling 10 m/s horizontally from a height of 1.5-m with negligible friction

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The ball would hit the floor approximately $0.55\; \rm s$ after leaving the table.

The ball would travel approximately $5.5\; \rm m$ horizontally after leaving the table.

(Assumption: $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $\Delta h$ denote the change to the height of the ball. Let $t$ denote the time (in seconds) it took for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table. Let $v_0(\text{vertical})$ denote the initial vertical velocity of this ball.

If the air resistance on this ball is indeed negligible: $\displaystyle \Delta h = -\frac{1}{2}\, g\, t^{2} + v_0(\text{vertical}) \cdot t$ .

The ball was initially travelling horizontally. In other words, before leaving the table, the vertical velocity of the ball was $v_0(\text{vertical}) = 0 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

The height of the table was $1.5\; \rm m$ . Therefore, after hitting the floor, the ball would be $1.5\; \rm m \!$ below where it was before leaving the table. Hence, $\Delta h = -1.5\;\rm m$ .

The equation becomes:

$\displaystyle -1.5 = -\frac{9.81}{2} \, t^{2}$ .

Solve for $t$ :

$\displaystyle t = \sqrt{1.5 \times \frac{2}{9.81}} \approx 0.55$ .

In other words, it would take approximately $0.55\; \rm s$ for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table.

Since the air resistance on the ball is negligible, the horizontal velocity of this ball would be constant (at $v(\text{horizontal}) =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ ) until the ball hits the floor.

The ball was in the air for approximately $t = 0.55\; \rm s$ and would have travelled approximately $v(\text{horizontal})\cdot t \approx 5.5\;\rm m$ horizontally during the flight.

A net force of 125 n is applied to a certain object. as a result, the object accelerates with an acceleration of 24.0 m/s2. the

pantera1 [17]

Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.
