19. After a snowstorm, you put on your frictionless skis and tie a rope to the back of your friend’s truck. Your total mass is 7

0 kg and the truck exerts a constant force of 20 N. How fast will you be going after 15 seconds, in m/s and MPH?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total mass is 70 kg

The truck exerts a constant force of 20 N.

Then the net force is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration of rider

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{20}{70}\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{7}\ m/s^2$

Initial velocity of rider is 0. So, using equation of kinematics to find the final velocity as :

$v=u+at\\\\v=at\\\\v=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 15\\\\v=4.28\ m/s$

Since, 1 m/s = 2.23 mph

4.28 m/s = 9.57 mph

So, the speed of the rider is 4.28 m/s or 9.57 mph.

The moment of inertia for a 5500 kg solid disc is 12100 kg-m^2. Find the radius of the disc? (a) 2.111 m (b) 2.579 m (c) 1.679

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Moment of inertia I = 12100 kg-m²

Mass of disc m = 5500 kg

Moment of inertia :

The moment of inertia is equal to the product of the mass and square of the radius.

The moment of inertia of the disc is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}$

Where, m = mass of disc

r = radius of the disc

Put the value into the formula

$12100=\dfrac{5500\times r^2}{2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{12100\times2}{5500}}$

$r= 2.098\ m$

Hence, The radius of the disc is 2.098 m.

Does parallax affect the precision of a measurement that you make

Paul [167]

Yes, parallax affects the precision of a measurement that you make. It introduces an error in the order of the parallax. It will cause the measurement to be different from the real answer. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

$l_o =52 \ m$

b

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

So

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

So

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$
