Complete question:

If the swimmer could cross a 14 km channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 m in the pool, how long would it take?

For the first 50m in the pool, the average velocity was 2.08 m/s

Answer:

It would take for the swimmer approximately 1.87 hours.

Explanation:

If the swimmer maintains the average velocity on the channel, we should find and approximate value of the time it takes to cross the channel with the Galileo’s kinematic equation:

x=vt

With x the displacement, v the average velocity and t the time, solving for t:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{14000m}{2.08\frac{m}{s}}

t=6730.7 s= 1.87 h

solniwko [45]
Convert the given in SI units.

         (44 ft/sec)(1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 13.41 m/sec

The distance traveled and the initial velocity can be related through the equation,
  
   d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²/ 2a

where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values from the given above,

    d = ((0 m/s)² - (13.41 m/s)²)/ 2(-9.8 m/s²)

The value of d from the equation,

    d = 9.17 meters

Convert this to feet,

    d = (9.17 m)(3.28 ft / 1 m) = 30 ft

Answer: 30 ft

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

A steel bar of rectangular cross section (1.5 in. 2 3 .0 in.) carries a tensile load P (see fig- ure). The allowable stresses in
lukranit [14]

Explanation:

Value of the cross-sectional area is as follows.

        A = 1.5 \times 2.30

           = 3.45 in^{2}

The given data is as follows.

          Allowable stress = 14,500 psi

          Shear stress = 7100 psi

Now, we will calculate maximum load from allowable stress as follows.

           P_{max} = \sigma_{a}A

                       = 14500 \times 3.45

                       = 50025 lb

Now, maximum load from shear stress is as follows.

           P_{max} = 2 \times \tau_{a} \times A

                      = 2 \times 7100 \times 3.45

                      = 48990 lb

Hence, P_{max} will be calculated as follows.

       P_{max} = min((P_{max})_{\sigma}, (P_{max})_{\tau})

                  = 48990 lb

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum permissible load P_{max} is 48990 lb.
