Answer:

The average speed will be "1038 mph".

Explanation:

Period for one revolution is:

T = 24 hours

  = 86,400 sec

x = c = 2πr

The given values is:

r = 6.38×10⁶ m

Now,

⇒  T=\frac{2 \pi r}{v}

Or,

⇒  v=\frac{2 \pi r}{T}

On substituting the values, we get

       =\frac{2 \pi (6.38\times 10^6)}{86,400}

       =464 \ min/sec

       =(464 \frac{min}{sec}) (\frac{3600 \ sec}{1 \ hour} )(\frac{1 \ mi}{1609 \ m} )

       =1038 \ mph

A bike rider pedals with constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.8 m/s over a time of 4.2 s. during the period of acceler
Artyom0805 [142]

To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation

d=\frac{1}{2} (u+v)t.

or

u=\frac{2d}{t} -v

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.

Given, u =7.8 m/s,d= 19 m and t=4.2 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

u = \frac{2 \times 19}{4.2 \ s} -7.8 m/s = 9.05 \ m/s - 7.8 \ m/s \\\\ u= 1.2 m/s.

Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s
